are to uphold the University’s prominent position in the region and to strive for global leadership in innovation education and talent development.</p> <p>The Academy will offer a series of innovative academic programmes at the PhD, Master of Science (MSc) and undergraduate (UG) levels, focusing on deep-tech venture creation, to develop a leading international ecosystem that nutures young entrepreneurs, incubates deep-tech start-ups and promotes university-industry collaboration.</p> <p>The Academy will work closely with the colleges, schools and departments in CityUHK, and industry partners and governments in Hong Kong and beyond. The faculty of the Academy will be composed of selected professors from relevant CityUHK academic units and external experts with extensive industrial and investment experience.</p> <p>The PhD by Innovation programme will offer doctoral candidates an opportunity to pursue research in innovation-driven fields while emphasizing commercialization-ready ideas and real-world impact. The programme is primarily administered by the Academy, with academic processes supported by the home department of the Chief Supervisor. Industrial advisors from companies and organizations outside CityUHK will also be appointed to provide guidance and support.</p> <p>As an integral component of the coursework requirement, a Graduate Research and Innovation Trek (GRIT) Integrated Project (CAI8001) will offer an immersive and intensive experience for students. It will provide them with valuable opportunities to engage in entrepreneurial activities, collaborate with industry partners, and develop essential skills in technology transfer and commercialization, including development of business proposals.</p> <p>Candidates may opt for PhD by Innovation when applying for a regular PhD programme.

The School aspires to attract dedicated postgraduate students to contribute to the School’s varied research activities. Graduate students will benefit from the School’s research culture, which emphasises both fundamental and applied aspects of legal studies and research. The School likewise encourages research with local relevance, comparative insights, and critical analyses. The study of law in any given jurisdiction presupposes and necessitates particularity, context, and geographical specificity. Law students can therefore first and foremost expect to be trained in the laws of Hong Kong. But this approach does not imply parochialism. The law school’s approach is premised on a proper appreciation of the broader regional, cultural, and international contexts that shape the development of the law as a dynamic field of study. This is especially important in the case of Hong Kong, with its service-based economy, multicultural population and common law heritage.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span><span><span><span><span>The subject areas offered and research specialisations available at the School of Law include the usual and expected core curriculum of legal studies, namely private law (the law of persons, contract law, tort law etc.), commercial law (company law, consumer protection law, competition law etc.), criminal justice (criminal law, criminal procedure, evidence, and criminology), public law (constitutional law, administrative law, and human rights etc.), and international law, including public international law. In addition to the core curriculum, the School makes it a priority to teach and engage in research in strategic areas that add value to its core curriculum, attract postgraduate students, and provide staff with opportunities to develop existing areas of law and to expand the School’s impact in specific areas of expertise. These strategic research areas include, but are not limited to, Chinese and Comparative Law, Maritime Law, and Arbitration and Dispute Resolution.</span></span></span></span></span></p> </div> </div>
