Welcome to HKUMed! This page is meant to provide you with essential information that you will need throughout MPhil/PhD studies. Please take some time to read through the different sections so you will have an idea what lies ahead.

  • While your supervisors should be your first persons to go to if you have questions about your research project or studies, your Department/School is your home base and should be your first point of contact if you have questions about administrative aspects of your studies (e.g. leave applications, postgraduate stipends, etc.).  Each Department/School also has a Departmental Research Postgraduate Committee which manages all research postgraduate education matters and provides advice to you and your supervisors on your studies.
