Application Requirements

An applicant can apply for PhD study even if he/she does not hold a research master's degree. The normative period of study for articulated MPhil-PhD study is 4 years. Subject to satisfactory academic performance and research progress, postgraduate studentships will be provided to students throughout their normative period. However, holders of a research master's degree from a Hong Kong UGC funded institution may only be eligible for 3 years' funding and their normative period is thus reduced to 3 years. An applicant can also apply for MPhil study. The normative period is 2 years.

Applicants for the MPhil Stream should:

1. have graduated from a recognized university and obtained a Bachelor degree in Applied Mathematics / Computer / Electrical / Electronic Engineering / Materials Science and Engineering / Physical Sciences or related fields, normally with honours not lower than Second Class; OR
2. have graduated from an honours programme of a recognized university with a Bachelor degree in Applied Mathematics / Computer / Electrical / Electronic Engineering / Materials Science and Engineering / Physical Sciences or related fields, normally achieving an average grade of not lower than 'B' in undergraduate courses

Applicants for the PhD Stream should:

1. have a research Master's degree from a recognized university in Applied Mathematics / Computer / Electrical / Electronic Engineering / Materials Science and Engineering / Physical Sciences, or related fields; OR
2. have a Bachelor degree, normally with Second Class Honours in the upper division or above; OR
3. have been registered as a Ph.D. student at a recognized university for at least one year, and have been approved for application by the affiliated Graduate School.
