What are the differences between SEEM and computer science (CS)?

(1) Similar to CS, SEEM also teaches technologies, but the focus is on information systems, big data analytics, and machine learning. (2) SEEM students not only receive technology training but are also equipped with domain knowledge in different industries (e.g., finance, service, logistics) and management skills. The interdisciplinary training would enable our graduates to work on both the technology and the business side.

This program provides students with rigorous training in both technological skills and business domain knowledge. Our graduates are sought after by a variety of industries. Please refer to https://seem.se.cuhk.edu.hk/career-prospect/ for career prospects.
