Pursuing MPhil/PhD Programmes at Lingnan University

 

I would like to bring to your attention a very attractive PhD programme that the Research Grants Council (RGC) of Hong Kong has established: the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS), hoping you will share this information with students and graduates who may be interested. The Scheme is aimed at attracting the best and brightest students from around the world to come for PhD studies in Hong Kong, and I very much hope to have one of yours pursuing this degree with us at Lingnan. Each Fellowship awardee will be provided with a monthly stipend of HK$25,100* (US$1=HK$7.8) and a conference/research-related travel allowance of up to HK$12,600/year* for a maximum period of three years by the RGC. In addition, the full tuition fee for a non-local Fellowship awardee will be waived by Lingnan for his/her first year of study. For an awardee with a normative study period of four years, the University will offer the same level of Fellowship and conference/research-related travel allowance for his/her fourth year of study. The intention is to make this Scheme prestigious and highly international, hence hopefully attractive to you and your students/graduates.
