HKU CDS Research Internship Programme
In the summer of 2025, HKU School of Computing and Data Science will launch
a Research Internship Programme accepting around 50 outstanding Computer
Science, and Statistics and Actuarial Science undergraduate students from
Mainland China or other overseas countries. Selected students will receive a
total stipend of around HK$22,274 for this internship. This programme aims to
provide student interns an opportunity to learn about our research
postgraduate programme and engage in research. The tentative period of this
programme is from July 13 to August 31, 2025, which can be further negotiated
with the supervisor. Each intern will be matched to a research project which is
supervised by a faculty member, and is required to give a presentation on the
project outcomes at the end of his/her internship.

Special Note on Visa Application:
A student who is admitted to this programme can apply for a “training visa”
through the Hong Kong Immigration Department. Each applicant is required to
provide an official stamped supporting letter from the student's home
institution which clearly states that the institution supports his/her training in
HKU, and the student will return to the institution to continue his/her study
after completion of the training in HKU. Please make sure your school will be
able to provide such a letter before you apply. A tourist visa is not acceptable.
