Electronic Commerce and Internet Computing The University of Hong Kong

Overview

The Electronic Commerce and Internet Computing curriculum from The University of Hong Kong is aimed to stimulate critical thinking in our students for them to understand, select and manage a fundamental spectrum of business technologies without losing sight of the goal of business and its traditional strengths.

What you'll study

The programme tries to provide an integration of technology with businesses, and consists of a mixture of courses from electronic commerce (ECOM) and/or Internet computing (ICOM) subject area(s) and some selected computer science (COMP) courses. Students are encouraged to take courses in any area, provided they have the necessary pre-requisite knowledge for the particular course.

The ECOM-prefixed courses are on the whole more business oriented.  They give students a foundation on the impact of the Internet and the web on e-commerce, and a broad overview of e-commerce technologies.  However, the ECOM courses never lose sight of students' need to understand technology.  

Learning outcomes

Through some fundamental discipline courses, students will acquire a technological foundation to enable them to understand the transformation taking place in marketing, smart city, supply chain and e-logistics, banking and finance, and the legal and security aspects in e-commerce.  Courses on organizational changes and innovation will review the impact of technology on traditional business to inspire new thinking and strategies.
