The aim of the MSc(Eng)(MEST) is to prepare students for the fast-growing microelectronics and semiconductor industry that serves the foundation of modern society. Microelectronics and semiconductor industry are highly specialized with cutting-edge materials, processes, and sciences heavily involved. Our programme is to provide comprehensive knowledge and hands-on training to educate future microelectronics talents for the strong demand from the industrial sectors in this area. An in-depth, well-balanced, and multidisciplinary knowledge across various aspects of the whole value chain will greatly enhance students' capability of grasping future business opportunities as engineers, managers, and entrepreneurs.
Students will acquire essential knowledge to understand key science in semiconductor devices and their manufacturing processes, fundamental skills in microelectronic device design, hands-on training on designing and implementing fabrication processes for semiconductor devices, etc. Students will also have opportunities to gain valuable 'Experiential Learning' opportunities through 'hands-on' projects.
