Research and Knowledge Transfer
Tapping its established niche in Education and newly emerging strengths in multidisciplinary subject areas, EdUHK has advanced knowledge boundaries through its research.
The increase in research capacity in recent years, emphasising interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, positions the University as one of the most competitive of the eight publicly funded local tertiary institutions in education, the humanities and social sciences.
EdUHK has three University- and 11 faculty-level research centres. Its academics and researchers have 193 ongoing projects with around HK$153 million (in 2021/22) in funding provided by the Research Grants Council and other funding bodies, which is testament to EdUHK’s research capacity as a young and thriving University.
Global Networks
Throughout the years, EdUHK has developed an extensive network of more than 200 partnerships and collaborative relationships with government agencies, non-governmental organisations and universities across the globe. This includes exchange opportunities, joint degree programmes, consultancy projects, and research and knowledge transfer projects. This collaboration has mutual benefits for EdUHK and its partners in fostering cross-cultural and multi-cultural understanding, putting each side’s expertise to good use, and creating opportunities for knowledge creation, sharing and application.
Scholarships for Non-local Students
The University has established scholarships to encourage and recognise its non-local students’ pursuit of academic excellence. The scholarships were set up with donations and are granted on the basis of academic merit, personal qualities, extra-curricular activities and community service, among other factors. The scholarships offered by the EdUHK Entrance Scholarship Scheme include full scholarships, tuition scholarships and half tuition scholarships. The Hong Kong Government currently provides exclusive scholarships to students from the Belt and Road countries.
Financial support is also provided for research postgraduate students. Full-time MPhil and PhD students are automatically considered for Research Postgraduate Studentships. The value is revised by the University from time to time. International students can also apply for the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme, which is organised by Hong Kong’s Research Grants Council to attract leading doctoral students to the city. It includes an annual stipend of approximately US$41,400 and a conference and research-related travel allowance of approximately US$1,730 for up to three years.
