The Targeted Taught Postgraduate Programmes Fellowships Scheme is introduced by the HKSAR Government with the aim to attract local students to pursue further studies in priority areas contributive for the strategic development of Hong Kong. Administered under the University Grants Committee (UGC), the fellowship places have been allocated for Master of Science in Computer Science in The University of Hong Kong in the 2024/25 academic year.
Eligibility
Local studentsi who are admittedii to the Master of Science in Computer Science in full-time and part-time study mode for the 2024-25 Intake are eligible to apply for the Scheme. To avoid double subsidy, students who are receiving other forms of government scholarships (except student financial assistance) for pursuing the same programme are not eligible to apply.
