Frequently Asked Questions
Q01What is the Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship?
The Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship integrates educational excellence and industry resources from the Greater Bay Area and Yangtze River Delta. The School (CDS) will invite top-performing students enrolled in 6999 programme to join the Fellowship. Invited students as Delta+ Fellows will spend their final undergraduate year in Shanghai, completing coursework and professional internships with renowned tech companies. CDS will provide scholarships, including at least HK$ 50,000 support for round-trip airfare each semester, accommodation subsidies, and living allowances.
Q18Is the Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship available only for a specific year?
This fellowship starts from the 2025 academic year and is exclusively available to students enrolled in 6999 programme. Subsequent arrangements will be announced later. Please refer to the School website for further updates: https://www.cds.hku.hk/
Q03Which admission schemes are eligible for consideration?
There are no restrictions based on admission schemes. Students admitted to 6999 programme through Gaokao, Multi-faceted Excellence Admission Scheme (MEA), DSE, Joint Entrance Examination for Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau Students, and international exams (A-level, IB, AP, etc.) are all eligible.
Q04What are the selection criteria?
The School (CDS) will comprehensively evaluate students based on admission scores, application materials, written tests, and interviews. Exceptionally qualified candidates may be exempted from written tests/interviews. The School will strictly adhere to a merit-based selection process.
Q14For students who have already received an admission offer for 6999 programme, how can they join the Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship?
The Fellowship was newly established in 2025. The School (CDS) will reach out to students already admitted to 6999 programme, inviting qualified candidates to written tests and interviews. Exceptionally outstanding candidates may be exempt from tests and interviews.
Q15Can students simultaneously receive an HKU Entrance Scholarship and join the Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship?
Yes. There is no conflict between the two.
Q02Are the courses in Shanghai different from those in Hong Kong, and what is the medium of instruction?
HKU will assign full-time professors from the Hong Kong campus to teach courses in Shanghai. Course content, teaching staff, materials, and assessment standards will be consistent with the Hong Kong campus. Courses in Shanghai will be conducted entirely in English. Delta+ Fellows will receive the same degree certificate as students who complete their four-year studies in Hong Kong.
Q07Must students in the Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship spend their final year in Shanghai?
Invited students from 6999 programme may decide whether to accept the Fellowship. Those who accept must spend their final undergraduate year in Shanghai.
Q16How challenging is the curriculum, and are there restrictions on interdisciplinary course selection?
The curriculum is academically rigorous, ensuring students build a solid foundation and strong learning abilities. The School (CDS) also supports students in pursuing minors or courses from other Faculties to broaden their knowledge and enhance their comprehensive capabilities. Students considering a double major need to plan ahead due to higher credit requirements, which require additional effort and time.
Q19How are internships and capstone projects arranged for the Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship?
The Fellowship will provide Delta+ Fellows with internship opportunities at prominent tech companies in Shanghai. Students may also contact suitable internship companies independently, provided they meet programme requirements and communicate with the School (CDS) in advance. Capstone projects are expected to be conducted in collaboration with tech companies and relevant laboratories. Students interested in other types of capstone projects should confirm with the capstone project coordinator.
Q09How are internships arranged for students not invited for the Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship?
Students not invited for the Fellowship will still have access to internship opportunities provided by the School (CDS) in the Greater Bay Area. Through the alumni network and collaborations with finance and tech companies, students can gain valuable practical experience and expand their professional networks. However, the Delta+ Fellowship specifically emphasises opportunities at leading companies in the Yangtze River Delta region, offering a broader development platform.
Q05If I am not a student of 6999 programme, but I am majoring or minoring in computer science, can I participate in the Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship?
The Fellowship is exclusively for students enrolled in BEng (CS) or BEng (AI&DaSc) under 6999 programme. However, students transferring into these two programmes from other majors after admission, who demonstrate outstanding academic performance and meet the School (CDS)’s requirements, may exceptionally be considered. Transfer students must fulfill the curriculum requirements and possess sufficient foundation knowledge and capabilities.
Q10Is the Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship a combined bachelor's and master's degree programme?
No. The Delta+ Fellowship provides a streamlined option for students enrolled in 6999 programme to transition into master’s studies. Students can pre-take two HKU MSc (CompSc) courses in their fourth year.
Q20What's the difference between the Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship and the Faculty of Engineering’s BEng X + MScEng AIE programme (Programme Code 6377)?
The Delta+ Tech Immersion Fellowship is offered by CDS for students enrolled in 6999 Computing and Data Science programme. In contrast, the 6377 programme under the Faculty of Engineering targets students majoring in non-computing engineering disciplines, including Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Data and Systems Engineering or Mechanical Engineering as their BEng degree. Details are available here.
Q08Where can students study the MSc (CompSc) programme through the streamlined path?
Students can choose based on their circumstances: half-year in Hong Kong and half-year in Shanghai, or complete the entire programme either entirely in Hong Kong or Shanghai.
Q17What are HKU’s advantages compared to universities in mainland China?
HKU offers a comprehensive range of courses delivered entirely in English. Our faculty members bring strong international expertise, and our curricula are meticulously aligned with those of leading global universities, ensuring our students are well-equipped for international growth and success.
