The Department of Building Services Engineering (BSE) was officially established in December 1981 under the Division of Applied Science at the Hong Kong Polytechnic. After the establishment of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 1994, BSE became part of the Faculty of Construction and Land Use, which is now known as the Faculty of Construction and Environment (FCE). As a leading provider of trained professionals in building services for the unique environment of Hong Kong, research in BSE focuses on the quality of the environment, energy efficiency and the safety and resilience of buildings to effectively address the contemporary concerns and future challenges of urban environments. Its core mission is to devise and improve engineering systems to promote the health and well-being of building occupants by providing sanctuary from the elements and from the extremes of temperature, noise, light, toxins and pathogens at the lowest cost in energy and resources. It offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes serving the needs of local industry at various levels.

Numerous opportunities for research studies leading to Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree are available. Under our outcome-based framework, research students pursue a series of compulsory and elective subjects in depth, with a view to contributing to the existing body of knowledge, as well as a research project under the supervision of an experienced academic staff member with similar research interests.

MPhil students must satisfactorily investigate or evaluate a chosen area, demonstrate an understanding of the context and significance of the work, display sustained independent effort and original thought and present a clear, complete thesis of a quality worthy of publication.

The MPhil degree is awarded to students who, on completion of an approved programme of study and research, present theses that embody the results of their research and satisfy the examiners in an oral examination in matters relevant to the subject of the thesis. Students must also complete the coursework requirement before submitting their theses. The subjects are chosen by the student, with advice from the supervisor, from a wide range on offer.
