PhD Summer Workshop
Organized by Faculty of Engineering, the PhD Summer Workshop will be held on July 3 - 7, 2023 (Monday - Friday) for applicants who are seeking admission to PhD programmes under FoE through the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme.
Through various activities such as technical seminars, poster sessions, laboratory visits, individual meetings with professors, participants will have fruitful experience and they will attend the admission interview at the end of the Workshop.
PhD Fellowship Scheme
The Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS), established by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council (RGC) in 2009, aims at attracting the best and brightest students from all over the world to pursue their PhD studies in Hong Kong. HKPFS provides a monthly stipend of HK$27,100 (approximately US$3,474) and a conference travel allowance of HK$13,600 (approximately US$1,740) per year for the awardees for a maximum period of three years. For awardees with a normative study period of 4 years, CUHK will offer the award at the same level for the fourth year. In addition to the monthly stipend and annual conference travel allowance, HKPFS awardees may apply for various scholarships offered by the University.
