Each student has his or her interests, abilities, and career goals. The IERG programme offers students the greatest flexibility to pursue their career goals by developing their specialities. The IERG programme offers five Streams of Specialization: 1) Big Data: Systems and Applications, 2) Telecommunications, 3) Cyber Security, 4) Networked Systems and Applications, and 5) Information Science.

Students may choose not to specialize in any stream or to specialize in no more than two streams and complete a minimum of 12 units of courses prescribed by the stream.

Applicable for 2023-24 cohort:

For students from other cohorts before 2023-24, please refer to the streams and course list as listed on the programme information applicable to their year of admission to CUHK. Here is the shortcut link to look up the information
