Follow Hong Kong Investment Immigration and Hong Kong Education: Recently, the Faculty of Science at the University of Hong Kong announced the launch of the "Undergraduate Research Fellowship Programme" (referred to as the "Fellowship Programme"), providing outstanding students from mainland China who are interested in scientific research with various opportunities to conduct research and engage in academic exchanges at world-leading scientific laboratories.
It is reported that the "Fellowship Programme" is open to all students applying to the University of Hong Kong through the "2014 Joint Entrance Examination for Autonomous Selection of Comprehensive Universities," regardless of whether they are in arts or sciences. Applicants must select the University of Hong Kong on the "Joint Examination" application platform, choose the "Faculty of Science Undergraduate Research Fellowship Programme" as their first preference, and subsequently select at least one of the following three HKU subjects: "Bachelor of Science" or "Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science."
During the admission process, in addition to the standard group interview, eligible candidates will undergo an individual interview with faculty members from the Faculty of Science to further understand the students' expertise and interests. Students who perform exceptionally well in all assessments may have the opportunity to receive professional bonus points or a conditional offer from the Faculty of Science. The Faculty of Science will determine whether a student is ultimately selected for the "Fellowship Programme" based on a comprehensive evaluation of their college entrance examination scores, as well as interview and written test results.
Selected students will gain access to multiple research resources, including at least one opportunity to participate in the Faculty of Science's flagship research projects—overseas research projects or summer research projects—to conduct research and academic exchanges at cutting-edge laboratories in Hong Kong and at world-class universities such as Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, and the University of California. Students participating in overseas research projects will also receive scholarship support from the Faculty of Science.
Furthermore, from the time of enrollment, all students will be assigned a research mentor to guide their course selection and provide assistance for their participation in research projects.
