25fall to find a bargain! Mr. in Low-altitude Technology Engineering: New Fengkou major, low threshold, fragrant employment - INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCY CERTIFICATION ASSOCIATION

1. Project background: Why is low-altitude technology the golden track for the next 10 years?

In recent years, "low-altitude economy" has frequently appeared in national policy documents - from the 2021 "National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline" that incorporates it into the top-level design, to the 2024 "Government Work Report" positioned as a "new growth engine", and this year the Ministry of Transport emphasized the integration of smart transportation and low-altitude economy, this field has become a "new blue ocean" of global competition.

The market size and talent gap

The domestic low-altitude economy scale has reached 670.25 billion yuan in 2024, with a growth rate of more than 30%, and is expected to exceed one trillion yuan in 2027;

Unmanned aerial vehicle logistics, air transportation, low-altitude tourism and other application scenarios explode, but the gap in technology research and development, operation and management talents is as high as one million.

Why did Hong Kong University seize the opportunity?

As the core of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong has backed the support of national policies. Hong Kong University has established the "Low-altitude Economic Research Center" in conjunction with the School of Technology, School of Economics and Management, and the School of Law, and has cooperated in depth with the Greater Bay Area Low-altitude Economic Alliance, aiming to cultivate "technology + business" dual talents and directly connect with industry needs.

Study system: full-time 1.5 years (different from the traditional 1-year master's degree, the course focuses more on practice and research)

Tui fee: HK$380,000 (high among engineering projects, but it is cost-effective compared to the return on employment)

Application deadline: June 15, 2025 (the postgraduate entrance examination party can be seamlessly connected and seize the late application window)

Language requirements: IELTS 6.0 (single items ≥5.5) or TOEFL 80 (no family version accepted)

2. Course setting: Hard-core technology + business thinking

Compulsory courses: aviation practice and prospects, propulsion technology, independent drones and AI, aviation materials and manufacturing, low-altitude aircraft design, etc.;

Electronic courses: aerodynamic calculation, global logistics systems, aviation economics and entrepreneurship, drone regulations and policies, etc.;

Graduation design: start in the second semester, and go deep into enterprises or laboratories to complete the project in the third semester, and directly connect with industry needs.

3. Interdisciplinary resources

The project is led by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, but it integrates the business model courses of the School of Economics and Management, the airspace policy research of the School of Law, and even provides intensive English support, suitable for students with engineering backgrounds to make up for their business shortcomings.

3. Employment prospects: annual salary of technical jobs is 400,000+, and demand for commercial jobs surges

1. Core employment direction

Technical research and development: UAV engineer, flight control system development, avionics technology (starting salary of 300,000-500,000 HKD/year);

Commercial operations: low-altitude logistics project management, policy consultation, UAV application scenario development (requires technology + commercial complex background);

Entrepreneurship and investment: early layout of the low-altitude economic industrial chain, such as drone distribution, air transportation services, etc.

2. Industry dividend period advantages

Policy support: 45 cities have launched low-altitude infrastructure planning, and airspace management is gradually opened;

Enterprise cooperation: Hong Kong University cooperates with DJI and the Greater Bay Area Alliance, and graduates can directly promote leading companies such as Huawei, SF Express, and Ehang.

4. Who is suitable for applying? 985/211. Both non-equal parties have strategies!

1. Target group

Engineering background: majors such as mechanical engineering, electronic information, computer, aerospace, etc. (requires a relevant degree in undergraduate);

Transformation needs: Traditional engineering is serious intra-term, and they want to enter emerging fields to avoid competition;

Entrepreneurship intention: The low-altitude economy is in the early stage, suitable for students with resource integration capabilities to make arrangements in advance.

2. Admission preference

985/211 students: Average score of 80+ means competitiveness, and scientific research/internship experience is extra points;

Double non-students: average score of 85+++ core courses high scores + drone-related competitions/project experience can be sprinted.

5. Application Strategy: How to seize the "new professional dividend period"?

1. Time planning

March-April: Prepare documents (highlight technical project experience + business insight);

May: Submit an application (avoid crowding before the June deadline);

June: Interview preparation (some candidates need to participate in the technical interview).

2. Document focus

Technical capabilities: hard-core experience in drone development, control system design, etc.;

Industry cognition: insights on low-altitude logistics, urban air traffic and other scenarios;

Interdisciplinary potential: such as participating in business planning competitions, policy research, etc.

3. Analysis of bargaining opportunities

The first year of new projects: the number of applicants is small, and the admission threshold may be relaxed (refer to the admission rate of similar projects in Hong Kong and academic fields 44%);

The exclusive window for the postgraduate entrance examination party: ends in June, perfectly connecting the time for the announcement of domestic postgraduate entrance examination results.

6. Risk warning: The industry is immature, how to avoid it?

Technical risks: Some core technologies (such as aviation batteries, intelligent perception) rely on imports and need to continue to pay attention to the progress of industry, education and research;

Professional path: It is recommended to participate in corporate cooperation projects more during the study period to accumulate personal connections and practical experience;

Alternative plan: You can apply for a "Low-altitude Economics Master" in Hong Kong Studies at the same time (tuition fee of HK$272,000, focusing on business management).
