The SHTM invites applications to the Hong Kong Ph.D. Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) and the Ph.D. Scholarship scheme for admission in 2023/2024. Successful applicants will receive a monthly assistantship in the form of a stipend to support their studies. Recipients of the assistantship will be required to provide support for teaching and scholarly activities at the SHTM.
The SHTM aims to recruit outstanding Ph.D. students, irrespective of
their country of origin and ethnic background. Our current Ph.D. students come from all over the world, including Canada, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Fiji, Ghana, Hong Kong, Iran, Kenya, mainland China, Russia, Sri Lanka, Uganda and the United Kingdom. Our Ph.D. graduates have received international scholarly recognition and hold positions at renowned universities and other academic institutions worldwide, including the University of Delaware, EHL Hospitality Business School, Griffith University, the
University of South Australia, Sun Yat-sen University and the University of Surrey.
The main areas of Ph.D. research at the SHTM are listed at
https://shtm.polyu.edu.hk/academic-programmes/hong-kong-programmes/doctor-of-philosophy-phd-in-hotel-and-tourism-management/main-areas-of-research/. The School will give priority to proposed research topics in the following four broad areas of focus:
- Smart tourism (such as artificial
intelligence, robotics, technology innovation, branding, marketing, experience management and customer engagement)
- Performance measurement and management (such as financial and revenue management and measurement, operational management, service management and event management)
- Tourism futures and forecasting (such as demand forecasting and emerging products and markets)
- Policy and planning (such as public policy, tourism planning and development)
We are concurrently
inviting applications to the dual-award Ph.D. programme jointly offered by the SHTM and the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at the University of Surrey. The programme leads to separate awards from these two world-leading institutions of hospitality and tourism. New Ph.D. students will be jointly admitted to the programme on a full-time basis and will be registered with both institutions from the commencement of their studies. They will be jointly supervised by expert scholars at
both institutions and will be required to spend at least 18 months at each institution. Each student will be required to complete one piece of research to fulfil the award requirements of the two institutions.
