Many universities have responded to the

Faculty of Science in the University of Hong Kong

(Applied AI) in the 2019/20 school year. The
programme aims to train students in designing and
constructing AI systems in different fields. It also
discusses moral and ethical considerations when

There are many new interdisciplinary programmes
at HKU, including the Bachelor of Arts (Financial
Technology) in the School of Engineering, which
combines computing, finance, policy, and regulatory
requirements to nurture financial and technical
experts; Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (Design + )
in the School of Architecture integrates architecture,
history, and aesthetics to train students in solving
problems using innovative design concepts.
