This is the only programme in Hong Kong that amalgamates applied physics and engineering. We produce versatile graduates who can comfortably cope with the multifaceted?global economy and fast-paced high technology.

Students benefit from training in both physics and engineering and from familiarisation with sophisticated equipment, including electron microscopes, lasers, solar simulator, surface coating?equipment and LED characterisation instruments.

Student exchange programmes with academic institutions in the Chinese mainland and overseas are available.?In addition, Work-Integrated Education (WIE) in the form of short-term placements in organizations outside?PolyU is?incorporated into the programme.

This programme also offers a specialism in Optoelectronics, with emphases on optoelectronics system and its design, processing and testing. Interested students may be allowed, subject to their academic performance and quota limitations, to choose this specialism after their second year of study, and will be awarded a degree of Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Engineering Physics [Optoelectronics].

Students gain the ability to analyse and solve practical/engineering problems, which prepares them?for?complex workplace situations, technological advances and change.
