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.
Can I work and study at the same time as a full-time research postgraduate student?
- All full-time MPhil and PhD students should not take up any employment or internship on top of their research studies.
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.
