MPhil / PhD Sociology

Our MPhil / PhD programme provides you with expert guidance, resources and space in order to help you undertake carefully planned, extensive and original social research into a specific topic of your own choosing.

You will work under the supervision of a dedicated member of our faculty to complete your research. Our academic staff includes leading international scholars in the fields of sociology, anthropology, criminology, gender, migration, labour, media and cultural studies, among other fields.

Our MPhil / PhD programme is ideal if you are pursuing a career in academia, or if you wish to gain an expert understanding of a particular social issue for use within your own profession. Our research programmes are highly regarded, and our graduates are currently working in leading universities, government departments and private industry throughout the world.

While this is a highly individualised programme, requiring you to manage your own independent study and research, you will also regularly collaborate with other research students and staff throughout your degree.

You will also take a range of specialist courses offered by both ourselves, the Faculty of Social Sciences and the HKU Graduate School designed to assist the research process.

A number of generous scholarships exist to support you in undertaking your MPhil / PhD degree with us. Full information on these scholarships, and how to apply, is available from the HKU Graduate School.

Updated information on tuition fees for MPhil / PhD study is also available from the HKU Graduate School.
