主题: Pursuing MPhil/PhD in Business at Lingnan University

Dear Prof. Xu,

I would like to bring to your attention a very attractive PhD programme that the Research Grants Council (RGC) of Hong Kong has established: the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS), hoping you will kindly share this information with students and graduates that may be interested. The Scheme is aimed at brilliant students from around the world to come for PhD studies in Hong Kong, and I very much hope to be able to have one of yours pursuing this degree with us at Lingnan. Each fellowship awardee will be provided HK$20,000 per month (US$1=HK$7.8) and the intention is to make this programme prestigious and highly international, hence hopefully attractive to you and your students/graduates.

Lingnan is Hong Kong’s liberal arts university, whose small size, top international faculty and strong emphasis on close staff/student relations offer a unique environment for the pursuit of advanced studies in this exciting part of the world, in the areas covered by the university which are the range of disciplines in the Arts, Business and Social Sciences. Our top value is student-centred learning hence, for graduates, to ensure close and supportive thesis supervision. At Lingnan, students establish peer-type working relationships with world-class scholars who offer expert and close-contact supervision in their respective areas. Our compact working environment where research students relate as peers with world-class scholars has made Lingnan to maintain a track record in HKPFS Fellowships Scheme. One exciting area at Lingnan that offers a wonderful academic environment for MPhil and doctoral studies in Hong Kong is Management.

Lingnan’s Department of Management has developed research strengths in such major areas as conflict management, organization studies, business ethics, cross-cultural management, and China business studies and is also exploring emerging research issues. Our research supports Lingnan University’s liberal arts mission of developing and applying knowledge for public service. We seek motivated, capable students who are committed to developing their research competence through our postgraduate programmes.

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

* Outstanding and brilliant applicants may seek admission via the
HKPFS by 2 December 2013 (Hong Kong Time 12:00 noon). Students who apply for and do not get the fellowship can still be considered for the regular PhD places at Lingnan.

* Applicants may apply to the University directly during 1 November 2013 to 28 January 2014. Normally, full-time students will be awarded Postgraduate Studentships which offer a monthly stipend of HK$14,200 (amount subject to review).

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

For more details regarding application methods and requirements, please visit our website at www.LN.edu.hk/reg/info/pgrad. Should you have any queries, you are most welcome to contact the Registry (Tel.: (852) 2616 8750; Email: rpgadm@LN.edu.hk).

I would be more than happy to hear from you and your students/graduates.

With best wishes,

Alfred WONG (Dr)
