The Education University of Hong Kong, we offer an exciting opportunity for your talented students to apply for our PhD programme at the EdUHK via the RGC Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS).

We believe that partnerships between us are essential for fostering educational excellence and research collaboration.

The HKPFS is an incredible opportunity for students wishing to engage in advanced research and make significant contributions to their respective fields. It provides a monthly stipend to cover living expenses, which allows PhD candidates to focus on their research. The criteria for selection include excellent academic performance, an impressive research proposal, and strong leadership and communication skills.

Therefore, we would greatly appreciate it if you apply for the HKPFS. Our dedicated supervisors will work with potential students to prepare an impressive research proposal and vision statement. For any successful HKPFS applicants, we suggest forming a supervision panel and inviting your faculty members to work as co-supervisors. We believe that it is not only beneficial to the students, but also enables faculty members from both universities to work on potential research projects and produce more research outputs.

In addition, to attract the most qualified candidates from your prestigious university, we hope that you could share the information about this scholarship opportunity with your faculty members (without a PhD) and Master’s students. I have attached a flyer that provides further information about the HKPFS.
