POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH SUPPORT SCHEME (PRSS)

The PRSS is to provide direct support for currently enrolled postgraduate research students. Under the scheme, funds are allocated to Schools or Departments (in some cases Faculties) based on their higher degree research enrolment figures in the previous year. The funds are not allocated directly to the students but are awarded by Schools or Departments to eligible applicants on a competitive basis according to the University's general guidelines.

2012 rounds of PRSS

The School is delighted to announce the 2012 rounds of the PRSS to support the postgraduate research activities.

We will accept applications from PG students in accordance to the guidelines provided in the attached file on the following two rounds this year:

• Round 1: Closing on 11 May 2012

• Round 2: Closing on 12 Oct 2012

Each eligible student may apply only for one of the two rounds. 

Please make sure to read the guidelines carefully and complete the application properly.  Attach all required documents including any acceptance letter for a conference or a quote to buy a research equipment, etc. Incomplete applications will be rejected without requesting further information or document.  

Late applications in the first round may be considered for the second round if requested.  Please note that the award will be very competitive this year and therefore some applications may be declined.
