Our commitment to pushing the boundaries of mathematical
science is reflected in our outstanding research track record. In the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2020, 89% of AMA’s research was rated as 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent' (4-star/3-star).
Our research strength is further underscored by a high success rate in securing substantial funding through RGC GRF/ECS grants. In the 2025/26 GRF/ECS Exercise, AMA has achieved remarkable success by securing funding support for 14 projects.
On top of the GRF/ECS scheme, the Department has also received other funding sources, including:

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.
