How can I identify supervisor or co-advisor(s) before submitting the application for the research postgraduate studies?

  • You are advised to look into our faculty's research areas at fytgs.hkust.edu.hk/faculty and explore if there is a match with your research interest, while submitting the application in the Online Admission System.
  • For application to the MPhil/PhD in Individualized Interdisciplinary Program (Research Area), you are required to form a research team, which is composed of at least two faculty members working on different research areas to warrant that the research is interdisciplinary in nature.

If I have submitted an application for PhD, will I be considered for MPhil in case I am deemed not suitable for the PhD program?

  • Applicants may submit separate applications for PhD and MPhil and would be required to settle the application fee for each application. Should you have enquiries about the selection requirements, you may wish to contact the Department.

Where should I send the supporting documents to?

  • Please send your documents to the University with your application number and program at:

        HKUST Fok Ying Tung Graduate School
        Room 6418 (Lifts 25/26), Academic Building
        The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
        Clear Water Bay, Kowloon
        Hong Kong
