Residence provides students with an opportunity to become immersed in the intellectual environment of the University. Residence also includes periods during which students’ research requires off-campus field work or non-PolyU laboratory work approved by the host department.
The residence requirements for the MPhil/PhD Programmes are as follows:
|
Programme |
Residence Requirement |
|
2-year full-time/ 4-year part-time MPhil programme |

|
3-year full-time / 6-year part-time PhD programme |
3 regular semesters |
|
4-year full-time / 8-year part-time PhD programme |
4 regular semesters |
All research postgraduate students must fulfil the residence requirement before thesis submission.
In addition to the residence requirement, full-time research postgraduate students are required to be on campus full-time and consequently in such geographical proximity as to be able to participate fully in University activities associated with the programme.
