3-year PhD students who register in or after September 2021 are also encouraged to attend Module 1: GRSC6100 Doing Research@HKU (2 hours). The module acquaints new RPg students with the mission of HKU postgraduate education and provides them with a broad overview of the basics of conducting research at HKU.
Some Faculties/Schools/Departments may also require 3-year PhD students to complete courses as part of the degree requirement. Students should consult their home Faculty/School/Department direct for details.
3-year PhD students may also discuss with their supervisor(s) and take courses offered to 4-year PhD and MPhil students that are relevant to their studies. Upon enrolment, the assessment result, whether pass or fail, will be recorded on the transcript.
