Will I be provided with University housing?

  • For full-time research postgraduate students, the University will provide guaranteed university accommodation in the first 2 years of full-time studies.
  • In general, taught postgraduate students are required to arrange their accommodation off-campus. Please contact the Off-Campus Housing Section of Student Housing & Residential Life Office, which provides general assistance for students who are looking for off-campus accommodation.

What are the differences between research postgraduate programs & taught postgraduate programs?

  • MPhil and PhD programs are research postgraduate programs (RPg) which involve intense research work and preparation of a thesis under the guidance of a supervisor. 
  • Taught postgraduate programs (TPg) lead to DBA, EMBA, MBA, MA, MSc, MPM, MPP and PGD degrees. TPg programs place more emphasis on coursework and are generally more career-oriented than RPg programs.
