Research Postgraduate Studies
We are currently establishing a vigorous post graduate section in our department. Many opportunities are available for higher degree study and prospective students are advised to contact directly those staff members who have interests in the field of research they wish to follow. The University of Hong Kong has numerous post graduate studentships which are available to good students on a competitive basis.Admission
