The MPhil and PhD are research degrees. Students learn primarily by doing independent original research and should demonstrate the feasibility of their topic when applying for admission.

The MPhil usually requires two years of full-time study; the PhD usually requires at least three to four years of full-time study. The two programmes are articulated, which means that students can, with Division approval, transfer from the MPhil to the first (pre-candidacy) part of the PhD, and vice-versa.

The PhD programme is also an affiliated programme of the Computational Social Science (CSS) Concentration, which provides the students a dual scholarly identity – an expert in Architecture and CSS – so that they will be optimally positioned in the academia and job market. Prospective students who would like to study in the CSS Concentration should apply before commencing their studies at CUHK. Please visit the CSS PhD Fellowship Scheme@CUHK homepage for more information on the concentration.
