Research Studentships

The studentship is a scholarship to support full-time research students financially. Applicants of research postgraduate programmes are not required to apply for studentships because studentship is awarded on the basis of academic merit. Offering of studentships is subject to academic departments' decision and indicated on the offer letter. For AY2026/27, the monthly studentship rate will be HK$19,310 (post-candidacy HK$19,660 for PhD). Studentship recipients are expected to follow the terms and conditions, have satisfactory academic progress, and perform duties assigned by Departments. Part-time and self-funded students are not eligible for studentships.

Funding Support

To encourage research students to exchange research ideas and immerse into different research cultures through interactions between local and non-local research students around the world, our University offers a wide range of financial support to research students. Full-time PhD or MPhil students receiving full studentship during the normal study period are eligible to apply for the financial support.

Support is available for:

  1. Participation in international conference, seminar, overseas attachment, field trip, study tour, and other research-related activities; and
  2. Travelling and subsistence allowance for non-local research attachment or research internships at designated institutions.
