Welcome to all our new students, we are so gratified to have you on-board. This year has posed challenges and served up a difficult situation for all of us. I am so glad that you have persisted and undergone a course of study with us.
A PhD Education at the School of Design will lead you to be the most confident design researcher, in a foremost institution in Asia. You should be proud, and also be ready to work hard!

Our unique approach encapsulates the likes of the doctoral colloquium and Chinese Design Forum. Your contribution to the generation of knowledge will be foundational bricks to build PolyU Design’s research, and furthermore establish the body of knowledge in the Design discipline.
Whatever we do, the School is committed to advancing knowledge, and a PhD is a major undertaking that no person can take lightly.

You may see yourselves as students, but we see you as colleagues, tackling the challenges of our society and making the world of design a better place.
You are helping us as research colleagues advancing and generating knowledge.
Together, we will make the world a better place.
It is this knowledge generation that helps move forward the cause of our institution, and simultaneously raises the profile of our researchers as well.
My wish is for you to join us, and together we forge a bond to work hard to sustain and enhance our institution’s position as a world leading research-led design school.
When you are around, please don’t hesitate to say hello, and get involved into everything we are doing. The School always relishes your commitment and engagement to the advancement of knowledge and design.
We will no doubt see you around the School as things settle down, and we get back to a sense of normality.
Good luck to you all in your endeavours and we look forward to working with you together.
