PhD DocNet Recruiting Forum at HKUST Business School
HKUST Business School will host the DocNet Recruiting Forum in Hong Kong in October 2026, bringing together leading PhD programmes in business and prospective applicants interested in doctoral studies in business and economics, as well as careers in academia. We warmly invite you to join us and explore doctoral opportunities at leading institutions worldwide. Final-year undergraduate students, master’s students, recent graduates, research staff, and candidates from all academic backgrounds are warmly encouraged to attend.
The event will include a panel discussion with faculty members and PhD students, followed by a recruiting fair hosted by participating schools.
The panel will offer an overview of business doctoral programmes and the application process, covering topics such as selecting the right programme and preparing for an academic career. At the recruiting fair, you will have the opportunity to speak with admissions representatives from business doctoral programmes around the world. Join us to learn more about doctoral education and get your questions answered.
