PhD Programme
Current PhD Students | PhD Graduates | Admission
The objectives of the PhD programme in accountancy are:
- To enable a student to reach and extend the boundaries of knowledge in accountancy;
- To help a student develop a high level of competence in research methodology; and
- To equip the student for intellectually demanding positions in the academic and business sectors.
Candidates for a PhD degree in accountancy are required to demonstrate a thorough mastery of the subject, to pass the qualifying examination, to research a specific problem which contributes to knowledge in accounting, and to successfully defend a thesis before a team of examiners.
In principle application is accepted all the year round but subject to the availability of quota. The main round of admission is usually done between March to May each year. Applicants are strongly advised to submit their applications before the end of February for September entrance.
PhD studies at the School can be either full-time or part-time. The normative period of study is 36 months for students with a research master degree and 48 months for students without a research master degree on a full-time basis, or 48 months for students with a research master degree or 64 months for students without a research master degree on a part-time basis. Extension of the study period may be considered for special cases. The maximum periods of study are 84 months and 96 months respectively for the full-time and part-time studies. All part-time students must spend a part of each year on-campus to meet his/her supervisor(s) and attend prescribed seminars and other academic activities. The exact length and timing of that period will be determined by the part-time student's supervisor(s).
In view of the background variety, students who do not possess adequate academic preparation for the PhD Programme are usually required to enrol in the MPhil Programme first. In addition, first-year PhD students are required to take foundation courses in economics, mathematics, and statistics as prerequisites where appropriate and should obtain at least grade B in the course.
