PolyU has a three-decade history of providing research degree education in Hong Kong. We offer a wide spectrum of world-class RPg programmes through six Faculties and three Schools. Our students from all over the world receive training in different fields, including applied sciences, business, construction and environment, design, engineering, fashion and textiles, health and social sciences, hotel and tourism management and humanities. With academic and professional excellence, our graduates contribute to society in their respective fields, be they teach in renowned universities, conduct research in research institutes, and become experts and world leaders in industry, commerce, and the public sector.
Home for educating thinkers, communicators, and discoverers that make positive impacts across disciplines, the Graduate School treasures national and international collaborations to enrich students’ cultural experience and enhance their global perspectives, abilities, and achievements. Our collaborative PhD training programmes and dual PhD degree programmes provide students with opportunities to benefit from shared research excellence between PolyU and its distinguished partners.
