Bachelor of Engineering in Information Engineering (IERG)
Streams of Specialization
We believe each student has his or her interests, abilities, and career goals. It is important to offer students the greatest flexibility to pursue their career goals by developing their specialties. The IERG programme offers five Streams of Specialization: 1) Big Data: Systems and Applications, 2) Communications, 3) Cyber Security, 4) Internet Engineering, and 5) Information Science.

To qualify for a stream of specialization, the students must build up their expertise by completing at least 12 units of the courses listed under the corresponding stream categories.
A student who satisfies the requirements of a stream of specialization may apply for a letter of certification from the department.
How to apply for a letter of certification for the Stream(s) of Specialization?
When you have fulfilled all the gradution requirements and completed the stream requirements, please provide the following information and email to the department at dept@ie.cuhk.edu.hk around mid-July:
- Your full name
- Your student ID
- The stream of specialization
- The list of courses with grades that you have completed to fulfill the stream requirements
- An unofficial transcript downloaded from CUSIS
- Your correspondence address
Notes:
- Students may graduate without opting for any of these streams as long as they satisfy the major graduation requirements.
- Students may declare specialization in NO MORE THAN TWO STREAMS.
