Programme Information

This is a research-type programme leading to the degree of MPhil or PhD in Government and Public Administration. Students admitted to the MPhil stream and the PhD stream will take the same courses, but with higher requirements for PhD students. MPhil students with outstanding results may apply for transferral to the PhD stream, whereas PhD students performing unsatisfactorily will be transferred to the MPhil stream. The programme thus provides flexibility for conversion between the two stream. The department will give priority to PhD applications. Applicants without a master’s degree can apply for the PhD stream directly.

Fields of Specialization

Greater China, Comparative Politics, Public Administration, International Relations, Political Theory
