Application conditions

1, academic performance

As a kind of hard power, the academic performance of undergraduate and master plays a vital role in the application stage. The nature of doctor requires students to have excellent academic level, so the higher GPA, the better.

2. Language achievement

The basic requirement of Hong Kong schools is IELTS 7/ TOEFL 100.

3. Research plan

Research plan is the key material to be submitted for doctoral application. The doctoral stage focuses on academic research, and the tutor's project may focus on one of the sub-fields, which is different from the macro-level research in the master's stage. You need to have a clear research plan for the future direction and it is executable, so pay attention to the role of RP.
