Subjects Minimum Level Required

Remarks: Unspecified elective subjects may include "other languages" at grade E or above.If students take both Mathematics extended modules (M1 - Calculus and Statistics; M2 - Algebra and Calculus), they will be counted as one subject only. (Subject to approval) Applied Learning subjects are not counted as elective subjects. Students who plan to select Building Services Engineering OR Construction Engineering and Management of JS1091 are advised to study Mathematics extended module(s), and preferably Physics, Combined Science (Physics and Biology) or Combined Science (Physics and Chemistry).Non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students who meet one of the following criteria (certification from schools must be provided to JUPAS), "GCE AL/AS Chinese (min. grade E) or GCSE/IGCSE Chinese (min. grade C)" can be accepted in place of HKDSE Chinese, to meet the entrance requirements:

the student has learned Chinese Language for less than six years while receiving primary and secondary education; or the student has learned Chinese Language for six years or more in schools, but has been taught an adapted and simpler curriculum not normally applicable to the majority of students in our local schools.

"HKDSE Other languages" cannot normally be used to meet the entrance requirement for Chinese Language. While waivers may be granted at the discretion of the Division of Building Science and Technology, such consideration is only made under special circumstances, on a case-by-case basis. Students are therefore strongly advised to obtain the requisite Chinese qualifications.

City University of Hong Kong (CityU) is my second home. Upon graduating from the Associate of Science in Construction Engineering and Management at CityU in 2003, I continued my full-time study at Northumbria University of Newcastle and obtained the Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Building Project Management in 2004. Since then I joined a contractor company as an assistant engineer in Hong Kong. At the same time, I carried on my postgraduate study at CityU and acquired a Master of Science in Construction Management in 2007 and a Engineering Doctorate in 2014.

My recognized academic qualifications plus extensive past working experiences have strengthened my competitiveness, and I was successfully qualified as a corporate member of the HKIE.

It is undeniable the solid foundation and all-round knowledge that the Construction Engineering and Management Programme provided at CityU is very practicable and desirable. Most importantly, professors & lecturers at CityU are always very supportive. I am so proud of being part of this family.

Studying the Associate of Science in Construction Engineering & Management at CityU was crucial to me as it was the starting point of becoming a professional engineer. After graduation, I continued my full time study at the HKUST and acquired a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil & Environmental Engineering in 2011. I then started my career in an engineering consultant firm, Jacobs China Limited, as a Graduate Engineer. In the next year, I also acquired a Master of Science in Civil Infrastructural Engineering & Management at the HKUST via part time study. During the first three years of my career, I involved in the detailed design of the MTR Kwun Tong Line Extension. I gained an excellent experience of designing 2.1km MTR running tunnels passing through Yau Ma Tei, King's Park and Ho Man Tin underneath a congested urban area using the drill & blast method. Recently, I successfully completed the HKIE Scheme "A" Training and I am preparing for the HKIE professional assessment to pursue the chartership for my career development. But no doubt, all experiences and achievements I gained were started from my studying in the Associate of Science degree programme in Construction Engineering & Management at CityU.

2012 ASc CEMBEng (Civil Engineering) (On-going)

After graduating from the Associate of Science in Construction Engineering and Management at the City University of Hong Kong in 2012, I am now having my full-time study in pursuing the Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering at the University of Hong Kong. There is no denying that the ASc(CEM) programme did equip me with solid engineering knowledge and sense through the all-round practical courses. Apart from learning in the campus, we were also encouraged to join summer internship for gaining precious site experience. Moreover, it is such a big family that all the professors and lecturers are supportive and friendly to talk with. I am really proud of being part of the family and treasure the days I studied at CityU. I believe that solving challenging technical problems to improve a city’s life quality is an engineer’s destiny. To me, I am ready and eager to accept these challenges!


This government-funded Associate of Science in Surveying (AScS) programme consists of three main streams of study: Building Surveying, Estate Surveying and Quantity Surveying. It aims to produce graduates with a broad-based academic foundation and practical professional skills required to work as a competent associate professional in international workplace in surveying. Since this programme is accredited by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, graduates can undergo its training scheme called Assessment of Professional Competence to become a professional surveyor bearing the title MHKIS.

Feedback from our Graduate

Mr CHEUNG Yat Fai, Ronald

Graduate of 1992Chief Executive Officer

Midland Realty (Macau) LimitedGeneral Practice Surveyor

MRICS MHKIS RPS(GP) BSc (Hons)

The time I studied at the Division was indeed one of my happiest times ever in my life

so far. Being a member of the first batch of surveying graduates, we faced a very

tough programme. I sometimes felt insecure, especially when assignment due dates

were getting closer, and no past assignments existed that I could make reference to.

Looking back, this pioneering experience has turned out to be an advantage because

this is exactly what education is for. Probing and exploring and finding our own way

are an important part of the learning process. We have to seek the shortest way to

find the necessary information, the best way to complete the task and the most

efficient way to get jobs done without delay. And the program unquestionably helped

us develop a sense of independence and a proactive learning attitude.

Comments on Graduate of 2007 Miss Suki Tsang

Associate Degree in Surveying (Building Surveying)

Our colleague, Miss Suki Tsang graduated in 2007 with an Associate Degree in

Surveying from City University of Hong Kong and has jointed us and worked as project

assistant building surveyor since 2007.

Her performance has demonstrated that the surveying programme equipped her with

essential technical knowledge and practical skill to execute and conduct building

surveying, project development planning and its management in various projects in

our department.

She has devoted herself in the building surveying industrial together with various

enriched technical knowledge and skill in building inspections, conditional surveys

and GBP submission etc.

We find that the curriculum of surveying programme has laid the basic platform of

developing her personal career development in building surveying. We are therefore

appreciated of receiving her fellow graduates when vacancies are available in future

for “ win - win ” situation.
