“As a proud graduand of the BSc-DSBI programme at HSUHK, I can confidently say that the programme has been instrumental in my future continuing research and development in the academic field.

The curriculum provided a comprehensive introduction to the field of data science, and took me from being merely interested in data science to being completely fascinated by the subject matter. The programme starts with Foundations of Data Science, which introduces students to the basics of data analytics, data concept, and statistical modeling. This course provides the building blocks for the subsequent courses, which are Optimisation for Data Science, Data Mining, and finally Machine Learning. The courses are structured in a step-by-step manner that allows me to gradually develop useful skills and knowledge. Throughout the programme, the assessments of some major core courses are evaluated through tests and projects, ensuring that students gain a practical understanding of the subject matter.

One of the key highlights of the programme is the friendly and supportive professors who are always willing to provide guidance, help, support, and understanding. They create a positive learning environment that encourages me to ask questions and seek assistance when needed. The professors are experts in their fields and provide valuable insights and perspectives that help students to gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

In addition to learning professional skills in data science, the programme emphasizes the importance of teamwork and time management. The programme encourages me to work together on projects, which helps to build my collaboration and communication skills. This is an essential skill in the field of data science, where teamwork is often required to solve complex problems. Furthermore, the programme helps students to develop effective time management skills, which are essential for success in any field.

Overall, my experience studying the Data Science and Business Intelligence programme has been fantastic. The programme provided me with a well-rounded education that prepared me for success in the field of data science and statistics. The professors, coursework, and collaborative environment all contributed to making this programme an unforgettable experience that I will always cherish.”
