The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) invites expressions of interest from graduates with evidence of academic excellence, research ability, and good communication, interpersonal and leadership abilities for full-time PhD study within a newly launched Fellowship scheme.

The scheme aims to recruit outstanding graduates, irrespective of country of origin and ethnic background, to Hong Kong, and will provide a 3-year tuition scholarship, a monthly stipend of HK$20,000 (approximately US$2,600) and conference travel allowance of HK$10,000 (approximately US$1,300) per year for awardees for a maximum period of three years.

About The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU): PolyU is a government-funded university in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China.  We have the largest number of students among the seven government-funded universities in Hong Kong, and we have a long and valued history of providing well respected and internationally accredited professionally oriented programmes and producing research of high application value.  PolyU is located in the heart of Hong Kong.

Our city campus is alongside the famous Victoria Harbour, with views looking out across to Hong Kong Island, upwards to Victoria Peak, and behind to the New Territories leading to the border with the Chinese Mainland just a short distance away.  The academic staff body of PolyU represents many cultures and nationalities, and virtually all our academic staff have experience in living and working overseas.  Our student body is increasingly international, and to further promote an international environment in PolyU, we actively seek students from different cultural backgrounds to pursue their research studies here.

PhD Programmes at PolyU

• Fields of PhD Studies (Science Disciplines)
• Fields of PhD Studies (Non-science Disciplines)

Admission Requirements

To register for the degree of PhD, a student shall normally hold a postgraduate degree containing a significant research component, such as a dissertation, conferred by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University or a recognised university.

In exceptional circumstances students other than those stipulated in (1) may be permitted to register.  For example, students with a Bachelor’s degree with First Class Honours, or the equivalent, may be admitted directly to the PhD programme.  Such students may be required to pass an examination.

Applicants who have not obtained a degree from a recognised university of which the language of instruction is English are normally required to obtain a score of 6.0 or above in IELTS (International English Language Testing System); a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score of 550 or above, a computer-based TOEFL (after 1998) score of 213 or above, or an internet-based TOEFL score of 79 or above.  All English language test scores are considered valid for five years after the date of the test. Consideration will be given to acceptable scores obtained in other internationally recognised public examinations, such as GRE (Graduate Record Examination) or GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), as deemed appropriate.

While the academic excellence is of prime consideration, the Review Panels will take into account, but not limit to, the four yardsticks below for the selection of candidates
