Awards and Financial Assistance
University Postgraduate Fellowships
The University Postgraduate Fellowship (UPF) Scheme aims to attract top students worldwide and is available for selected new full-time PhD candidates with excellent academic performances. The fellowship is at a value of HK$70,000 on top of the Postgraduate Scholarships. Applicants in their final year of undergraduate study may also apply for the UPF. The deadline for application is December 2, 2013.
There is no separate on-line application form for UPF. Applicants who have applied for the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship will be automatically considered for the award of UPF. They are required to submit a short essay on-line on why they should be awarded the UPF.
Postgraduate Scholarships
The purpose of Postgraduate Scholarships (PGS) is to provide selected students with financial assistance in the form of a scholarship to study full-time for the degrees of MPhil or PhD during the prescribed periods of study.
Full-time MPhil and PhD students who hold a first degree at second class honours first division (or equivalent) or above are normally considered eligible for receiving Postgraduate Scholarships during the normative study period. The University?s Board of Graduate Studies, which has sole and absol ute discretion in granting the award of the Postgraduate Scholarships, may also take into consideration the candidates? results in Master?s degrees. Scholarships are tenable on an annual basis and are renewable upon satisfactory academic progress having been made and the availability of funding. A Postgraduate Scholarship holder may be required to provide, under supervision, services that carry educational benefits for the holder, as prescribed by the Head of the Department, Unit, Centre, School or Institute in which the holder is registered. The amount of such services shall not exceed 100 hours in any full twelve-month period (or pro rata if the period is less than twelve months). The provision of services forms part of the research student?s training cove red by the value of the Scholarship, and no other payment for these hours of services may be made to a Scholarship holder.
The PGS amount is presently (for the 2013-14 academic year) HK$14,000 per month. The annual value of the Scholarships will be determined by the University from time to time.
The services provided in this capacity will be relevant to the holder?s research training, beneficial to
his/her studies and subject to the concurrence of the supervisor(s). The holder will not otherwise undertake any employment either within or outside the University during tenure of the Scholarship. The nature of the services will normally be
(a) assistance with research;
(b) assistance with scheduled laboratory, studio and fieldwork classes and with tutorials;
(c) assistance with the preparation of materials for scheduled classes;
(d) assistance with marking practical notebooks and answers from exercise classes; and
(e) assistance with invigilation of University degree examinations.
Further details of the Postgraduate Scholarship regulations are available on the website:

Academic Awards
The University administers a number of scholarships that are awarded to postgraduate students for outstanding academic achievements. Applications for postgraduate scholarships will be invited from eligible students at various times throughout the year, and invitations for applications will be posted around the campus to notify students when such opportunities arise. The scholarships and awards include Doris Zimmern HKU-Cambridge Hughes Hall Scholarships, HKSAR Government Scholarships, Li Ka Shing Prizes, Awards for Outstanding Research Postgraduate Students and The Croucher Foundation Awards, to name just a few.
Financial Support for Conference Attendance and Travel
MPhil and PhD students may apply for financial support for conference attendance and/or travel for presenting papers/posters in overseas academic conferences or participating in other overseas educational activities.
Government Grants and Loans
Students admitted to a UGC-funded full-time curriculum who need financial assistance for their studies at the University may apply to the means-tested loans and grants scheme administered by the Student Financial Assistance Agency. To qualify for assistance, a student must have the right of abode in Hong Kong or have resided in Hong Kong continuously for three years prior to admission to the University. (Note that students staying in Hong Kong holding student visas do not count as being …continuously resident'.) The value of their Postgraduate Scholarships will be counted as their income under this scheme. To apply for assistance, students should:
(a) obtain an application form from the Centre of Development and Resources for Students (CEDARS), or the Student Financial Assistance Agency, 11/F & 12/F, Cheung Sha Wan Government Offices, 303 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon (https://www.doczj.com/doc/506673775.html,.hk/eng/schemes/tsfs.htm); and
(b) submit the completed form to CEDARS within one month following the commencement of the course.
A non-means tested loan scheme is also available for application by both full-time and part-time students who meet the residency requirements. Application forms are also obtainable at CEDARS.
University Financial Assistance
University funds are in general used to supplement government grants and loans. A limited number of means-tested bursaries and loans are available to local full-time students who are in financial need. However, these are of very limited value, and should not be seen as an alternative to Government support. The value of students? Postgraduate Studentships will also be counted in the assessment of their needs. Applications are invited in early September each year. Students facing urgent financial hardship may however apply for emergency assistance any time during the year. For enquiries, please
contact the Centre of Development and Resources for Students (CEDARS:

Notes to Overseas Applicants
Cost of Living
Overseas applicants offered places may be required to show that they are able to support themselves financially throughout the course before they are allowed to commence their studies. It is very difficult to provide a precise estimate of the likely cost because it will vary from one person to another depending on the type of accommodation selected and other factors. Usually, the postgraduate scholarship is sufficient to cover food, lodging, general living expenses and tuition fees.
Accommodation
Postgraduate residences are available on campus or nearby and applications from overseas students are welcome. Students should contact the postgraduate residences directly for enquiries on vacancies and booking. Competition for places, however, is keen. For those unable to secure a residential place on campus, rental accommodation in the open market is also available. Admission to the University does not provide any guarantee of accommodation, which remains the responsibility of each student. It is therefore in the interest of overseas students to make definite arrangements for accommodation before arrival. Overseas students are advised to consult the Centre of Development and Resources for Students (CEDARS) on accommodation matters. Information on accommodation options for non-local students is available from CEDARS? website: http://apps.cedars.hku.hk/pg_housing
Visa
All non-local students must obtain a visa in order to study in Hong Kong.
Students from overseas
Student visa applications should be submitted to the HK Immigration Department through the Centre of Development and Resources for Students (CEDARS) or local Chinese Embassy. All applicants for a student visa for the HKSAR are required to have a local sponsor. Students coming to HKU should request CEDARS to be the visa sponsor by completing the visa sponsorship application form obtainable from CEDARS. A cost recovery handling charge is required.
PRC Students
PRC students (with the exception of those with overseas permanent residency) must submit the student visa application and visa sponsorship application via the Centre of Development and Resources for Students (CEDARS).
Visa Application Procedures
For details on the visa application procedures, please visit CEDARS? website:

香港大学研究生申请必读 前言 越来越多的内地高校毕业生有意选择香港高校深造，但在求学香港网站协助研究生申请人的过程中，我们发现内地申请人对港校研究生制度和申请方法、自身定位等方面缺乏了解，我们根据网站三个月的运行经验，总结出以下内容，方便申请人有针对性地了解港校。 申请希望/成功几率 内地申请人提问最多的就是“我有多大申请成功几率”、“我申请成功的希望有多大”。说实话，这类问题可真难倒了不少回答问题的同学，因为港校研究生录取并没有统一的标准，也不是“一刀切”，但是其中还是有规律可循。 申请成功与否主要取决于当前就读学校、成绩和推荐信，同时也受到其它因素影响。下面列出为您定位时所参照的标准，希望您根据自己的情况自我定位： 下面几种情况会提高成功几率： 本科“出身”好：211/985学校相对于普通高校。 本科成绩好：GPA高/系内排名靠前相对于较低的成绩/较靠后的排名。 有研究经验（使用于研究型）：之前做过研究相对于没有。 推荐人威信高：领域内知名教授的推荐相对于普通讲师的推荐。 推荐人关系：目标教授和推荐教授关系密切相对于互不相识（甚至完全不认识）。 有质量的研究计划（如需要，授课式不需要）：一份有高质量的研究计划相对于随便写的一些文字。 面试表现出色（如有）：条理清晰且有礼貌的回答相对于不知所云。 在权威期刊、会议发表论文（有较大的帮助）。 如果申请研究型学位，和目标学校相关专业教授联系可极大增加成功的机率。 下面几种情况会增加申请难度 目标学校标准高： 港大、中大相对于城大、理大。 目标专业在港热门：金融管理专业相对于农林专业。 研究型研究生：研究型研究生相对于授课式研究生。 跟风转专业申请（在转入专业有所建树者例外）：申请不同专业相对于擅长的本科专业。 申请主要由这些方面决定，但能否录取毕竟是综合考虑且由学校、学系和教授几方面决定，在申请的时候，任何人都无法预知最后的结果，请申请者结合上述的条件来给自己“定位”，以估算有多大的把握。 下面提供一份数据，仅供申请人参考 申请研究型研究生的总成绩在：211/985学校85/100以上，普通高校系内排名很靠前，把握较大。 申请授课式研究生的总成绩在：211/985学校80/100以上，普通高校系内排名比较靠前，把握较大。 申请港中科（指的是港大、中大和科大三所学校）的授课式研究生（非热门或特色专业），内地二本或以上学校学生有成功的先例。 申请其它学校的授课式研究生（非热门或特色专业），内地三本或以上学校学生亦有成功的先例。申请港中科研究型研究生（非热门或特色专业），内地一本或以上学校学生可以尝试，而且希望较大。 申请其它学校研究型研究生（非热门或特色专业），内地二本或以上学校学生可以尝试，而且希望较大。 这些数据并非说明这是申请成功的必要条件，低于此标准仍然可以申请，也有成功的先例。其中，
前言： 闲着也是闲着，为了应付一下太general的问题，我去各个bbs上看看，把比较general 的流程随便写一下，希望大家补充，让以后可能来香港大学的学生感到我们cssa的温暖！ 老是碰到一些同学问：我毕业了想去香港，我该怎么做？请问申请程序是怎么样阿？我回答说：跟出国申请手续一样！得，人家说：alzhao你真搞笑，我就是不知道怎么申请出国阿。我一般就溜走了。不过后来遇到问这样问题得越来越多，既然到我们论坛上来问了，就不能无动于衷了。 现在想把基本流程给总结一下，当然我也就申请过那么一次，经验不够多，希望大家补充一下. 想到香港 出国依然热门，也越来越困难。现在越来越多得会听说有人申请香港，东方明珠得吸引力还是满大得。 一般来说上大学得时候，就会接触到出国这个词了。有的同学就会很着急，自己一头雾水，惟恐时间不够用，将来后悔。不过要注意，成绩是最重要得，当你不知道干什么得时候，就去学习吧。慢慢得，你就会懂了。 为什么有人申请香港？ 因为： 1.香港得学校还是不错得。香港大学亚洲排名一直前4位之内，中文，港科大也都在10名之内。硬件比起国内来要好的多，在香港学习得切身体会，比国内学校都好。 2.去米国越来越难。不必多说 3.香港得奖学金满多得，而且都是跟admission绑定在一块得，只要入取你，就有奖学金，香港得奖学金叫studentship，不要不认识。一个月都会有10000多，第一次见这个数都会很惊讶。 去香港难吗？ 这个要看个人情况而定了。你成绩好，研究成果多... 就容易来了。以前来申请香港比较容易，不过现在申请的人越来越多，也就比较难了。具体到哪个专业，哪个学校也不一样。不过记住，认识事都要你认真去做的。 我要申请香港吗？ 你喜欢香港吗？喜欢的话，就申请吧。不过真正搞学问的地方还是在美国！对于成绩有多好才能够申请成功，我也说不清。自己慢慢查资料吧，后面我会给你一个站点列表。

申请香港大学需要什么条件以及和国内的区别 到香港、澳门高校读大学一直是不少高考考生和家长的重要选择之一。但是家长想了解关于港澳院校的问题也很多，今天就针对这些问题进行答复，以便家长参考 1、什么样的条件能申请香港的学校? 香港的招生范围是非常广的，不同背景的同学都可以在这里找到自己心仪的学府：以理科为例，往年香港大学、香港科技大学、香港中文大学的录取分数线大约高出一本分数线90分，城市大学、香港理工大学高出一本线 50 分，香港浸会大学的分数线则约为高出一本线30 分，香港岭南大学的分数线基本与一本分数线持平，香港公开大学、香港树仁大学的分数线大约与二本分数线持平。 所以香港学校的录取条件是非常宽泛的，适合不同背景的同学，而且香港的教育质量享誉全球，可谓港校无弱校，确实是非常不错的选择。 2、我可以被哪所港校录取? 港校的录取是根据高考成绩和面试表现综合评定的，所以往年的分数也只能作为一个参考，而且由于港校是小规模招生，所以每年的招生标准都会有小幅的波动。 3、面试的难度如何?我英语比较薄弱会有问题吗? 香港学校的面试一般是以小组讨论的形式进行，不同的学校面试的录取率也会不一样，一般来说面试录取率在10%至20%左右，当然面试表现优异也会现场录取。 4、港校的录取流程是怎样的? 香港学校的申请主要通过网上进行。在准备齐全申请的材料之后就可以递交申请，递交申请的截止日期一般是在六月初，然后一般来说六月底会通知进行面试，之后就会陆续发放录取结果。 5、在录取过程中，什么因素最重要呢? 不同的学校的录取标准会不一样的，不过总体来说最重要的包括高考成绩，面试表现和社会实践等经历。 6、在香港就读有哪些优势? 首先香港的教育质量享誉全球，可谓港校无弱校，在香港，学生不仅能体验到中西环境的差异，更能感受到顶级教育的魅力。港校都采用全英文教学，为赴港读书的学子提供了良好的语言环境，体验国际化的教学氛围。 其次，香港留学费用的相对低廉, 奖学金丰厚。与欧美昂贵的留学费用相比，香港的教育资源性价比优势巨大，同时港校会提供丰富的奖学金机会，学生在校期间表现良好都可以赢得许多奖学金。还有就是非常宽广的职业前景。 港校的毕业生选择极其丰富，香港有着丰富优质的就业资源，你可以选择留港就业;也可以选择回到内地进入内地广阔的市场;还可以将其作为通向更宽广世界的跳板，在深造结束之时申请其他国家的名校。这些丰富的选择也给学生的职业发展提供了完美的支撑和平台。 7、香港的经济社会形势究竟如何?内地学生过去会受到歧视吗? 以去香港读书的同学的亲身体验来看，在香港的学校里肯定是不会感受到所谓的歧视的，同学和教授都是非常有素质的而且非常友好。在校外也很少会遇到不愉快的情况，我们
香港大学体制介绍及香港留学与英国留学对比 香港学校分为三大类：即完全由政府办理的官立学校、完全由政府资助并由志愿团体主办的资助学校以及私立学校。目前，香港政府为所有年龄在6至15岁的儿童提供九年普及基础教育。 在香港，政府的语文教育政策是以“两文三语”（中文、英文；英语、粤语、普通话）为目标。香港小学教育6年，从6岁开始，分为上午班，下午班和全日制三种。中一至中三实行免费普及教育，中四至中七学生须交付学费，官立及资助中学收取统一学费。 香港现有特殊学校62间，包括一所医院学校、四所实用中学和7所技能训练学校。 全港现有10所高等院校，其中8所由大学教育资助委员会资助，它们是：香港城市大学、香港浸会大学、岭南大学、香港中文大学、香港教育学院、香港理工大学、香港科技大学和香港大学 随着香港教育市场对大陆的开放，去香港留学成为很多大陆居民的留学选择之一，而又由于香港与英国特殊的历史关系和相似的教育体系，使得很多同学在香港留学和英国留学之间徘徊。其实两者之间在关键因素的对比上还是比较明显的。学生只需根据自己情况对号入座即可。 首先，对比最明显的是费用问题。英国留学每年约需要人民币25-30万元，香港留学每年约需要人民币15万元左右。（两个地区的授课式硕士都是一年制的） 其次，是语言要求的问题。香港教学老师有来自欧美的，也有香港本地或大陆的，学校工作人员多数能用中文交流，而英国属于纯英语环境，所以英国留学的语言要求要高一些。 再次，是眼界和视野的区别。英国，属于欧洲，与东方中国的人文与城市风貌方面有很大不同，学生去到英国，可以领略到另一半球的居民是怎样生活的？与我们有哪些不同的理念？而香港在吸纳西方文化的同时，与大陆也是有很多共同点，所以去香港接受的是比较“缓和”的文化冲击。 最后，两个地区的学校数量、录取难度也是有对比的，英国共有100多所大学，认可度比较高的为前30-40名。香港共有8所大学，认可度比较高的为前六所大学。因此整体来讲，香港地区大学在申请时，竞争更激烈一些。了解了以上情况后，大家也可以两个地区同时申请，根据最终被录取的具体学校，来做终极选择。 副学士课程（Associate Degree）：招收高中毕业生（高考成绩达到二本线）或同等学历，学制一般为两年，毕业后可就业或继续升读相关专业本科，只需要两年即可以获得学士学位.（2+2课程） 学士课程https://www.doczj.com/doc/506673775.html,（Bachelor Degree）：通过全国统一高考招生系统招收内地优秀高中毕业生. 硕士研究生课程：
