Research Postgraduate Programmes

On the strength of its solid foundation which has been built over the years, the Faculty is well positioned to become a world leader in construction-related research and innovations. Our research degree programmes aim to provide rigorous training to students who aspire to become researchers or scholars capable of conducting independent and original research, as well as producing research findings that are relevant and significant to their chosen field of specialisation. Numerous opportunities for research studies leading to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degrees are available.

Financial support is available from a number of sources including the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme. Applications from self-financed research students are also welcome. If you are contemplating such studies, you may find an exciting research area and your ideal supervisor here. You can either register full-time or part-time.
