Non-local Research Postgraduates

Policy & Legal Matters: Non-local Research Postgraduates

In response to the Hong Kong Government’s policy allowing non-local full-time postgraduate students (RPgs) taking up part-time jobs, the Research Postgraduate Studies Committee of HKBU endorsed the following revisions to the current guidelines governing all RPg studentship recipients (including both local and non-local full-time students), having regard to the balance between studies and type of experience gained.

  1. Full-time RPgs may take up part-time employment, either on or off campus, for a maximum of 12 hours per week (including the summer months).
  2. The nature of part-time work should be directly related to research or academic that is beneficial to their studies and career development.
  3. Students intending to take up a part-time job shall submit a request specifying the job descriptions and working hours to Principal Supervisor, Department, Faculty/School and Graduate School for approval.
