During September and October 2026, a Graduate School (GS) delegation, led by Professor Zuankai Wang, Associate Vice President (Research) and Dean of GS, visited top universities across Chinese Mainland for PolyU’s Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) and PhD recruitment outreach.
- Beijing – Tsinghua University, Peking University
- Shanghai – Tongji University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
- Hefei – University of Science and Technology of China
- Wuhan – Wuhan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology
During the visits, we introduced prospective PhD students to PolyU's vibrant research ecosystem and scholarship opportunities. Beyond student recruitment, these visits also strengthened our academic partnerships through discussions on research education and joint talent development.
The delegation also visited the PolyU-Hefei Technology and Innovation Research Institute (HFRI) to gain insights into local research and innovation development. The team also met with students from the Master of Technology Entrepreneurship (MTE) programme conducting research at HFRI to learn more about their research experiences.
This meaningful tour has deepened our engagement with academic partners and reinforced our shared commitment to nurturing research talent. We look forward to welcoming more outstanding students to the PolyU community.
