Mr Samuel ABOKYI
HKPFS awardee 2016/17 from Ghana  

"My admission to study PhD (Optometry) in The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) under the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) was a dream come true since I had the long-standing goal to receive scholarship from a well-recognised institution, and advices from research experts that could transform my research career in vision science and prepare me to become a better academic.

Exactly this and much more has been offered to me since I joined PolyU. The School of Optometry is a center renowned for cutting edge research in the fields of myopia control, glaucoma and retinal degenerative diseases. Also, the academic staff and researchers are very welcoming, and make you have a feeling of belongingness.

Apart from this, PolyU provides a congenial atmosphere that fosters easy integration for international students, and, hence, has a sizeable proportion of international students from across the globe. I know you would not miss this great opportunity of being part of PolyU in your life time."
