Our commitment to advancing the boundaries of mathematical science is reflected in our outstanding research track record. Most recently, in the 2026/27 RGC GRF/ECS exercise, AMA achieved a highly successful funding round, securing HKD 14.5 million across 20 research projects. This success builds on our established academic excellence; in the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2020, an impressive 89% of AMA’s research was rated as 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent' (4-star/3-star).

Funded Teaching & Learning Project
In addition to our research accomplishments, we take pride in our efforts to make significant advance in teaching.
Building on the success of leading the award-winning project “Developing Active Learning Pedagogies and Mobile Applications in University STEM Education” in 2017, our Teaching & Learning Team has expanded its efforts to bring technology-enabled active learning pedagogies to secondary school mathematics education. The team's project, “Developing Active Learning Pedagogies and Mobile Applications in Secondary School Mathematics Education” , has received funding support from the Quality Education Fund (QEF) of the Education Bureau of Hong Kong in 2020.
In 2024, our Teaching & Learning Team proposed a project titled “Empowering Gifted Minds: Nurturing the Next Generation of Data Scientists” and received funding support from the Gifted Education Fund of the Education Bureau of Hong Kong.
We are honored to patriciate in and contribute to the development of research and teaching in Mathematics education and remain committed to striving for further improvement.
