Equipping research students<br />
with a broader range of skills<br />
and awareness is taking the<br />
School’s learning environment to<br />
the next level<br />
While the School and its world-class faculty members have already established a formidable reputation for cutting-edge research<br />
and development that draws top research students, HKUST’s front-running environment ensures that fresh endeavors to<br />
enhance its provision are always being explored. In 2009-11, major initiatives for the School’s research postgraduates centered<br />
on greater internationalization and diversification of the educational experience.<br />
Building International Connections<br />
The School attracts top-caliber research students, many from Mainland China. To increase our postgraduates’ multicultural<br />
outlook and assist them in developing international connections, the School has actively sought to build diversity among our<br />
research students while rigorously maintaining quality.<br />
Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme<br />
The Hong Kong Research Grants Council scheme was established in 2009 to attract the best and brightest students from<br />
around the world to pursue doctoral studies in Hong Kong. The School of Engineering has done particularly well in drawing such<br />
candidates, receiving the largest number among engineering faculties in Hong Kong in 2010 and 2011, the first two years that<br />
the fellowships were awarded. Such success can be attributed to the dedication and outstanding research performance of our<br />
faculty team, the potential for awardees to maximize their capabilities at the School, and the School’s enthusiasm for drawing<br />
such top students in line with our goal of strengthening ties around the world.<br />
