In recent years, The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at 
the Chinese University of Hong Kong has expanded rapidly in enrolment, 
curriculum, staff, research and service to the community.  As a 
department in the Faculty of Engineering, it offers full-time research 
programmes leading to the degrees of Master of Philosophy and Doctor of
Philosophy, a part-time research programme leading to the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy and a part-time taught M.Sc. programme.  We have 
25 full-time faculty members and the current enrolment of postgraduate 
students is over 200.  We have many research groups which are very 
active and of critical sizes for discussion and information assimilation. 

    Major equipment in the department includes a SUN Enterprise E6500 
and E4500 Supercomputers with 12 processors each, a Silicon Graphics 
Onyx2 Graphics Supercomputer, more than 250 Sun and SGI workstations, 
more than 250 high speed PCs and equipment for parallel processing, 
multimedia and Chinese processing.  All machines are connected 
to the departmental 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network and Gigabit Ethernet 
network. Through the University backbone, these machines are also 
connected to the Internet with high speed links.  Students can also 
access the computing facilities of the Faculty of Engineering,
the University Computer Services Centre and the computing facilities 
in their own Colleges.

Usually both M.Phil. and Ph.D. full-time students will be given 
postgraduate studentship or research assistantship of at least 
HK$13,615 per month (7.73 HKD = 1 USD, subject to inflationary 
adjustment each year).  Scholarships, teaching assistantships
and  research assistantship in other fields are also available.
