Applicants should hold a relevant bachelor’s degree with first or second class honours, or an equivalent qualification recognised by the University, and fulfil language requirements. Some programmes have specified additional requirements.

Applicants may seek admission to our PhD programmes in two ways as follows: 

  • Outstanding and brilliant applicants may apply for admission via the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) established by the Research Grants Council (RGC). Applicants should login the Admission System of the RGC at www.rgc.edu.hk/hkphd to get a reference number by 2 December 2013 (Hong Kong Time 12:00 noon) and submit a full application directly to Lingnan’s Online Application System at www.LN.edu.hk/admissions/applyonline on or before 3 December 2013. Successful Fellowship awardees will be provided with HK$240,000/year (HK$20,000/month) and a conference/research-related travel allowance of up to HK$10,000/year for a maximum of 3 years. Applicants who apply for and do not get the fellowship can still be considered for the regular PhD places at the University.
  • Apply to the University directly from 1 November 2013 to 28 January 2014 through our Online Application System. Normally, full-time students will be awarded Postgraduate Studentships of HK$14,200/month (amount subject to review).

We also have our popular and excellent research-based 2-year MPhil programmes. Applicants may apply for admission to our MPhil programmes directly from 1 November 2013 to 28 January 2014. Postgraduate Studentships are also awarded.
