The HK PhD Fellowship Scheme provides top students with the financial freedom and flexibility to pursue their own research directions under the guidance of world-renowned professors. I have been enjoying studying in Hong Kong as it is an amazing city with a vibrant nightlife, cosmopolitan cityscape and beautiful natural scenery. I can think of no other universities in the world where you can go hiking in the mountains before class, work with the brightest students in Asia, network with the world's top research groups through the Institute for Advanced Study and then relax after a hard day's work by fishing in the ocean at night. If you plan to study at HKUST, be prepared to work hard and play even harder.
