The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK): Full Scholarship for Students’ Academic Research

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 1 November 2021 – Starting a
career in academic research is challenging. Successful research requires more
than profound insight and professional knowledge. Established in 1963, The
Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is ranked top 50 of the best
universities in the world consistently. It is a multicultural campus that
attracts students from all around the world. At CUHK, we help students develop
thinking and learning skills which tackle the demands of tomorrow’s world and
capable of shaping a better world for the future.

The University offers a great array of support for PhD
studies. The Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS)
established by Research Grants Council (RGC) aims to attract the best students
worldwide to pursue their PhD studies in Hong Kong universities. The Scheme
provides a financial assistance of up to US$210,000. It covers students’
tuition fees, stipend, 1^st year hostel fee (with guaranteed
on-campus accommodation), international conference and research-related travel
allowance and a lodging award (approx. US$12,800). PhD candidates nominated by
CUHK to HKPFS but not selected by the RGC will be offered a regular PhD place.
They will receive an award of approx. US$10,260 and a studentship of approx.
US$27,730 per annum within the normative study period.

CUHK is committed to conducting research of the highest
international standard. With the support of a wide array of over 300 research institutes and research
centres, it has long promoted interdisciplinary research excellence on
local, national and international level. It has also established many joint research units partnering with
external academic institutions. With the approval of the Ministry of Science
and Technology of China, we have five State Key Laboratories, including
Laboratories of Agrobiotechnology, Digestive Disease, Research on Bioactivities
and Clinical Applications of Medicinal Plants, Synthetic Chemistry, and
Translational Oncology. These state-level laboratories enable the country’s
most proficient experts and scholars to conduct leading studies and
experiments.

Student life at CUHK is diverse. University facilities also
add extra dimensions to life on campus – from the artistic and cultural, to the
recreational and athletic. The students can fully emerge themselves into
vibrant school life and their research.

Whatever one’s life and career goals, we help transform
students into lifelong learners with the ability to thrive in an ever-changing
world. The application deadline for HKPFS
