The vision of the School is to nurture talents to contribute to human life with advances in information and communication technology through a supportive and collaborative environment with exchange of ideas for staff (i) to innovate in cutting-edge and also in interdisciplinary research, to apply them to contribute to the society, and (ii) to educate students with up-to-date knowledge, competent practical skills and proper ethical value to prepare them to become professionals in areas that are increasingly driving the society.

The School aims to develop students with self-confidence, active learning and independence, to cater with the rapid advancing of new technologies and applications, and contribute their knowledge and competence to their career and the community.

The mission is to advance knowledge through research, which is also applied to education, as we:

1. identify the emerging technologies that can contribute to the society for research.
2. establish connections to the society to link knowledge, practicality, and work experience and to identify their useful research problems.
3. collaborate with other schools in inter-disciplinary areas for research and education.

We develop graduates both in academic and professional competence, who are ready to contribute to the social and moral well-being of the community as we:

1. develop and offer quality academic programmes in information and communication technology which are relevant to the needs of professionals, commercial, social and academic communities;
2. equip students with competence in analysing and learning new computing technologies with applications in different areas;
3. cultivate holistic development of graduates with high ethical standards, communication skills, critical thinking and professional competence for their successful career, life development and contribution to the society.
