Embarking on Your Research Journey – A Welcoming Message from Prof LYU Aiping

 

Dear Students,

Welcome to Academic Year 2026/27. Whether you’re embarking on your postgraduate journey or advancing your ongoing research, your curiosity and passion power our research community.

At HKBU, big questions rarely sit inside one discipline. We adopt a transdisciplinary approach by bringing together our signature strengths in creative arts, communication, humanities, and business alongside Chinese medicine, science, and technology.

We know a successful research journey is built on more than just a great idea. That’s why we foster a vibrant community where your work can grow through collaborative workshops and idea exchanges. We empower you to share your work with the world by providing conference grants for the global stage. And as your research makes its mark, we ensure your discoveries get the recognition they deserve through prestigious showcases and awards.

As HKBU marks its 70th anniversary, I encourage you to make the most of our research platforms, extensive global networks, and developmental support. Look after your wellbeing, ask for feedback, and support one another. Your supervisors, departments, and the Graduate School are here for you.

Your ideas can shape a better future. We look forward to supporting your growth, every step of the journey.

With warm regards,
Professor Lyu Aiping
Vice-President (Research and Development)
cum Dean of the Graduate School
