Examples of placements include the University of Washington, University of Alberta, University of Michigan, Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Polytechnic.
Our Program guarantees funding to successful students for five years. Students take two years of coursework, learn about the research process through collaborative projects, pass comprehensive exams, gain teaching experience, and launch their own research programs. We admit students with distinguished undergraduate or master's records. Typical backgrounds of incoming students include the social sciences and humanities, engineering, and business administration.
