Conventional Research Postgraduate Programmes
The University offers Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and 3-year
and 4-year Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programmes. The programmes
focus
on research work and the award of the degree mainly depends on
the assessment of the thesis. Candidates will conduct research
work under
the supervision of at least one member of the University’s
teaching staff. In addition to the long-established one-to-one
mentorship system of supervision, a coursework component has been
introduced
that aims to provide research training to assist the MPhil and
4-year PhD students to complete their studies within their study
period.
Joint PhD Programmes
As a research-led university with a global outlook that aims
to excel in research and research postgraduate education, the
University has in recent years enhanced its research collaborations
with leading international higher education institutions. One
such form of collaboration is to offer Joint PhD Degree programmes
- a growing global trend - in partnership with other world-class
institutions. Currently, the University has signed agreements
with King’s
College London (KCL), Imperial
College London (ICL) and University
of Toronto (U of T) on Joint PhD Programmes. For details,
