线下面试

红鸟硕士项目线下面试包括两个部分:其一是项目小组活动,用于评估申请人的综合素质和能力(团队合作、沟通能力等);其二是个人面试,用于评估申请人的学术积累和专业素养。

面试地点:香港科技大学(广州)(地址:广东省广州市南沙区笃学路1号)。

面试形式:

  • 上午场项目小组活动,候选人将现场随机组成小组,迎接主题挑战任务,活动旨在评估候选人的综合能力和素养(团队协作,沟通能力等);
  • 下午场个人面试,主要考察候选人的学术积累和专业素养。

相关案例:


港科广 第三批 (from 小红薯)

(1)关于上午的活动
几个队友非常棒,活动前我很担心我动手能力差,应变能力差,但是整个过程下来出乎意料的好,我们组是唯一一组不需要手动触动,且触发下一组的
🌟这里我想说,活动一开始,我们的理念就是这个活动小组是小团体,十组是一个大团体,我们做的第一件事就是友善地和上下组沟通衔接问题,因为衔接好了,中间设计会更容易,别人也可以更好做,事实证明事事想着别人,结果总是好的!

(2)下午的面试,列举两个大家都可能会遇到的:
1:你挑一个你的工作讲一下?
2:我觉得你做的东西很前沿,如果以后来了这边,跟老师和同学合作的东西没有那么前沿,你怎么看?

🌟回答问题一定要尽可能的专业一点,ppt做的东西一定要了解,rp资料啥的也要清楚,老师都会看。
但是我觉得最好自己能主动的总结一下自己做的research ,让自己的形象更加丰满(我虽然总结了,但是面试老师没问,我也没说,我觉得老师面了那么多,问问题也疲劳了,而且也可能不了解你做的方向,提不出来能让你展现自己的问题,如果你可以抛出问题,并且可以很好的回答,也很不错)


25Fall新规

香港科技大学(广州)红鸟硕士项目招录机制(2025/26秋季招生)

招录机制:
红鸟硕士项目采取独立自主招生模式,并且突破传统以学科专业划分申请人的做法,不限制申请人专业,通过"个人申请-委员会审核"的机制,面向全球招生,全年滚动遴选与面试,择优录取。其招录机制以"申请-审核制"为主、"推荐-审核制"为辅,具体为:

  • 申请-审核制:个人在官网提出申请,通过红鸟硕士项目招生委员会的遴选与面试,获得录取推荐资格(Offer Recommendation)。
  • 推荐-审核制:个人通过特定组织或机构的选拔后,被推荐后进入红鸟硕士项目招生委员会的审核流程,审核通过的获得录取推荐资格。

委员会制度:
为确保招录程序的合规性和招录全流程工作质量,红鸟硕士项目建立了多级全方位招生委员会,主要包括:

  • 1.招生指导委员会(Admission Steering Committee)负责制定招生总体方针政策与发展策略;
  • 2.遴选与面试委员会(Selection & Interview Committee)由各枢纽/学域及学院的教员(Faculty)联合组成,负责完成遴选、面试和录取推荐等全过程工作;
  • 3.未来技术学院招生委员会(CFT Admission Committee)负责制定招录实施方案,指导与监管招生行政团队的具体执行工作;
  • 4.未来技术学院招生申诉委员会(Admission Appeal Committee)负责审理红鸟硕士项目招录工作相关申诉,整体监督招生程序合规性。

申请-审核制的主要招录环节
申请:基于融合学科的"枢纽理念"以及教学模式,红鸟硕士项目的新生在注册入学后的前六个月,将进行自主探索,再确定后续项目方向、项目团队与学术导师。因而,申请人在申请阶段无需提前确定导师和选择专业,只需按要求准备完整申请材料,并通过港科大(广州)的OAS系统(https://pgoas.hkust-gz.edu.cn/welcome)将其统一递交。具体指引请参见:https://cft.hkust-gz.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Guideline-for-Application-of-2025-26-Fall-Red-Bird-MPhil-Program-1.pdf#new_tab

初选:随着申请数量逐年递增,为了提升招录工作的质量与效率,红鸟硕士项目设置了高校白名单和学业表现的筛选"过滤器",通过设定条件,使评分系统对申请人进行自动机选。通过初选的申请人将进入下一阶段的遴选,而未通过初选的申请人,将会给其发送拒信。对于未通过初选,但具有特殊才能或其他突出表现的申请人,可通过"推荐-审核制"的渠道,申请港科大(广州)的"红鸟挑战营"(详见官网信息: https://vptlo.hkust-gz.edu.cn/rbcc/index/tzy_about_CN.html)。

遴选:在通过初选后,红鸟硕士项目的评分系统将为每份申请材料,自动匹配至少三位遴选与面试委员会的评委,以确保评委小组既做出专业性评价,又兼顾多角度综合评审。委员会根据申请人的理科、工科、文科、艺术、设计、商科、管理、医科等不同学科背景,对数学能力、语言文字综合能力、专业核心课成绩、实验课成绩、毕业设计/作品、企业/临床实习、社会服务活动、学生社团活动、国内国际大赛成绩等不同权重的指标完成评分,经集体决议后确定遴选结果:

  • (1)对于遴选结果为"推荐"的申请人将被邀请参加线下面试
  • (2)对于遴选结果为"居中"的申请人将进入"候补名单"(Waiting List),以便委员会在后续的特定轮次进行滚动遴选(为了确保招录质量以及公平性,每位候补名单中的申请人只有一次滚动遴选的机会);
  • (3)对于遴选结果为"不推荐"的申请人,将给其发拒信,且其不可再次提交同一届入学的招生申请。

面试:由于常规的考试与线上面试难以全面评价申请人的真实能力,红鸟硕士项目开创了特色的线下面试,包括小组活动与个人面试,以实现多维度地综合评价申请人的团队与个人表现。为贯彻透明、公平和公正的原则,红鸟硕士项目提前面向社会公开面试题目、形式与评分规则等,以确保所有申请人均获得一致的信息,而且要求所有申请人都必须参加在广州校园举办的线下面试,才有可能获得录取推荐资格。遴选与面试委员会将严格按照规定,开展线下面试,并完成综合评价以及集体决策等工作:通过线下面试的申请人将获得录取推荐资格,而未通过线下面试的申请人将对其发送拒信,且其不可再次提交同一届入学的招生申请。具体安排请参见:https://cft.hkust-gz.edu.cn/zh/admission/offline-interview/ 此外,由于海外申请人受到签证、国际交通等问题影响,受限较多,红鸟硕士项目特别规定:获得参加线下面试资格的海外申请人(不包含港、澳、台地区)可以选择参加线上预面试,在获得评委的反馈后,再决定是否参加线下面试。该预面试结果不作为委员会最终判断其是否获得录取的根据。

推荐-审核制:
红鸟挑战营是红鸟硕士项目实施"推荐-审核制"的主要形式,旨在通过创新的过程评价方式,充分挖掘在传统人才评价标准之外具有卓越潜力的人才,为"偏才、怪才"们提供一次公平竞争的机会,切实贯彻"英雄不问出处"的招录理念。它在组织形式和时间上与"申请-审核制"形成了互补,在坚持透明、公平和公正的原则下,通过遴选与面试委员会,完成与"申请-审核制"同等标准的过程评估和录取推荐资格。因而,已在"申请-审核制"渠道提交申请的申请人,也可同步申请红鸟挑战营,若在挑战营全程表现优异,将有机会获得遴选与面试委员会的录取推荐资格,进入红鸟硕士项目。但是,如果申请人参加过遴选与面试委员会的材料遴选或面试(包括线下面试和挑战营线下营)环节且被拒,则不能重复提交同一届入学的招生申请。详情请关注官网通知:https://vptlo.hkust-gz.edu.cn/rbcc/index/tzy_about_CN.html

审核录取:
经"申请-审核制"或"推荐-审核制"获得遴选与面试委员会录取推荐资格的申请人材料均须按规定逐级提交未来技术学院和霍英东研究生院审核。最后由霍英东研究生院批准并统一发放正式录取通知书。

香港科技大学(广州)红鸟硕士班2025/26秋季招生第一轮线下面试将于10月22日至23日举行

PhD 陶瓷

📋第一部分:邮件陶瓷
邮件参考如下

开头礼貌问候
①:介绍自己的学术背景,但是要突出在某些学术方面比较优秀的地方。比如说可以说你学了什么课程,发表什么论文而且有哪些不错的成绩。
②:根据你自己的以往研究方向先去读下目标导师在相关领域的研究论文,做个整体的总结写在陶瓷信里,并且由此引出自己以往的具体研究和导师方向的相关性。
③:简单写下为什么选择这个导师的原因以及选择这所学校的原因,以及突出想要和导师将来一起工作的愿望。
📮邮件附上自己CV//成绩单可有可无
⏰️注意:陶瓷信字数千万不要太长,太长的话导师一般都懒得看。千万别写小作文。言简意赅即可。


📋第二部分:

导师要求线上面试:

①:如果回复可能直接约面试或者要成绩单(所以前面附件中成绩单可有可无)。
②:长时间不回复可邮件咨询是否导师收到邮件,若还无任何回复则可改投其他导师(记得修改内容)。

📋第三部分:

①:按照导师要求完成线上面试部分,少数直接提供口头offer,部分还需要进一步沟通交流。
②:如果没写具体可按照上述图片参考。
⏰️注意:
最好还是准备份PPT按照内容划分更加清楚。
PhD相对mphil更偏向于科研细节的面试,所以相关科研以及基础知识点一定要掌握好,不要找跨度太大的导师,不然面试纯拷打。其他的问题倒是都很日常。

📋第四部分:


拿到口头offer的填写系统。
按照导师要求提交RP研究计划,可先提交给导师过目交流。

📋第五部分:


如果约线下面试那内容如图。
最后的最后
其他学校套磁也差不多都是如上👆流程

Mphil 面经

DAY1
按照邮件规定到校后,下午5点左右会带领大家参观学校,自愿熟悉地点,迟来会有工作人员电话联系,说明原因即可。
💡注意:

  • 120块/晚(可续1天+180元);
  • 宿舍物品齐全,一次性牙刷沐浴毛巾水等都有;

DAY2
上午多米诺装置
💡注意:

  • 很考验团队协作能力,注意加分点关键点:“逆重力”和“多个运动物体”,想要实现这两个点其实有很多种方案,比如设计个类似于跷跷板的装置或者是滑轮把小球拉上去,中间装置也可以利用弹簧把小球弹起来等,我认为最主要的提前了解可以实现的方法但是不要拿出一个非常详细的方案;
  • 如果是中间组要和前后两组协商好启动和结尾装置,并在汇报中体现,这点会很加分;
  • 最终汇报我们是每个人汇报自己的部分,这里尽量多汇报一点,特别是自己的贡献以及团队间相互合作,这点也很加分;

下午个人面试:5分钟全英文pre+10分钟问答
💡注意:

  • 房间和编号都是随机的,3个老师1个助教,老师都有个人简历无需额外准备,多针对ppt和你给的材料项目和简历。可以在ppt上下钩子,让老师往你想要的方向去问。(如上图)
  • 面试过程中不怯场和自信的,老师可能全程低头,但不代表对你不感兴趣,可能正在深挖cv,主要还要个人引导吸引老师兴趣
  • 就目前申请来看,有无语言成绩影响不大。



(1)能问问是哪个hub的嘛
红鸟不看hub是让你从三个研究方向里面选一个然后在PPT里面展示出来(当然PPT不止这个,还有你的一些基本情况等等)

(2)请问面试中的十分钟问答是全英吗?
不是,五分钟英文pre+十分钟中文问答或者是五分钟中文展示,十分钟英文回答

(3)你好,请问可以先申请phd要是被拒了再申请后批次的mphil吗
可以呀,完全可以

(4)请问申请时需要上传签名推荐信和研究计划吗?推荐信是网推还是?谢谢
需要上传推荐信网推,后续老师邮件确定即可。研究计划可写可不写,实践证明不写也不影响面试

(5)提问问题
📖排名+能不能保研📖基本专业问题📖联系导师情况📖文章是否一作📖以后研究方向📖联系到导师后有无拿到PhD的offer


24Fall 第二批 面经
主要材料:
CV,3封推荐信,论文和奖项材料,没写RP,但写了VS (科大特有的Vision statements)

Timeline:

  • 2023.10.26 提交申请
  • 2023.12.02 面试通知
  • 2023.12.15 线下面试
  • 2023.12.18 交齐推荐信
  • 2023.12.26 收到研推信
  • 2024.01.16 收到正式offer

面试经过
主要分为两部分,上午的多米诺骨牌小组活动,以及下午的15分钟的个人面试(5分钟的pre和10分钟的提问)

多米诺骨牌面试个人心得(不一定对):

  • ① 面试者一共分为10个小组,每个团队会有2小时的时间来完成各自的多米诺骨牌,2小时到了以后,会有半小时的时间给每个小组的多米诺骨牌进行前后相互衔接。
  • ② 一定要提前准备好整个机构大概的思路,第二批面试我发现大家变得很卷,都几乎有备而来,最后各组做出来的多米诺都很复杂,各种机关。如果临时临忙才开始设计多米诺,在有限的2个小时里会很吃亏。
  • ③ 其实最后几乎没有一组是能够不人工干预地就能让多米诺骨牌完美触发的,几乎每组都需要中途手动干预。
  • ④ 最后会有10分钟的小组总结环节,每个组员在评委老师面前,发表对活动的总结和不足之处。最后每个小组组员会对彼此进行匿名的贡献度排名。

个人面试PPT结构分为三部分,

  • ①我的基本背景(院校,GPA,奖项,论文)
  • ②我想从事的具体研究方向
  • ③我选择这个方向和选择科广的原因

面试被问到的问题:

  • ① 介绍一下你的这个科研项目?
  • ② 你在这个项目里负责什么工作?
  • ③ 这个工作用到了什么工具?
  • ④ 你的未来规划,以及为什么要这样规划?
  • ⑤ 确认了一遍我的GPA排名。
  • ⑥ 你还申请了什么学校?
  • ⑦ 你大学时期的最困难的一段经历,和这段经历的收获?
  • ⑧ 怎么看待鹅坞冲突?(很搞)

港科广面经

上午:小组多米诺装置
挑战(两个小时制作+30分钟所有小组连接
具体攻略网上都有,我就不详细叙述了。团队的人都很好,不过我们每次试验都成功结果最后出了岔子得手动触发。
建议是:不要纸上谈兵,如果团队某个环节陷入困境,那就剩几个人人找其他的事情做,连接的东西不用太纠结,可以先把能做的都做了再考虑连接。最后留下至少十分钟试验,如果剩有时间可以设计故事情节啥的。

下午:个人Pre➕Q&A(5min+10min)
个人pre:陈述人类未来健康技术/可持续生活/智能工业化(三选一)领域攻读哲学硕士(MPhil)学位的原因
很难量化我的ppt做的是好是坏,在这里就不和大家分享做ppt的思路了。

Q&A
具体问题如下(不知道有没有漏,反正可持续发展那一块拷打了很多我不会的东西):

    1. ESG是什么?可持续发展是什么?你怎么下一个定义?(前提:我论文有涉及到ESG)
    1. 我看你的定义中更像是一个碳中和的概念,具体说说
    1. 如果你进入rbm,想攻读的具体领域?可以说进入后想做一个什么样的具体课题吗?
    1. 为什么想做这个领域?什么契机?
    1. 可以说说是什么时候开始对这个领域感兴趣的吗?有什么相关科研经历吗?如果是一年前就感兴趣了,为什么一年下来都没有取得相应的成果?
    1. 这个领域你掌握了什么技术?
    1. 所以你在环境领域没有相关的技术吗?
    1. 有感兴趣的导师吗?
    1. 某个项目中具体做了什么工作?
    1. 更未来的规划?
    1. 绩点排名

感悟:

  • 1.事实证明不用太准备专业课,因为很小可能遇到同方向的老师(cs专业当我没说),但是基本上ppt和cv的内容要熟悉😵‍💫
  • 2.能说尽量多说,感觉就像是一个说服老师的过程。我就是说的太少了,面试得贼快。按网上看老师拷打得越久越狠兴趣越大?

ps.不知道是不是我太后面了,反正轮到我的时候感觉老师都累了,and我巨紧张语速特别快,不管是pre还是问答都剩余好多时间,第一个老师拷打完之后全场沉默然后我主动问了老师还有没有问题…最后还有一个老师甚至没问我问题🫠


24Fall 第六批 面经
二月网申完毕,DIY,4.15邀面,4.26面试,5.8推研,5.27offer。面试时三位老师都很友善,给了很多积极反馈。

  • 这一批我看见有116人面试,推研群里57人目前。面试录取率应该是50%
  • 面试同学绝大多数是985的,中大华工的最多。也不乏gap 二硕 或已工作多年的申请人

🧑‍🤝‍🧑群面 多米诺

  • 6人合作,攻略帖很多,不再赘述
  • 会有个组内互评环节,匿名给彼此排序🙀
    ⭐️我觉得在小组合作中你所展现的领导力,团队协作,创新和问题解决能力比结果更重要。
  • 最后有个自我评价环节,老师评价环节

📝btw面试问题回忆如下:攒人品。

    1. 为啥不在新加坡读来这里了?
    1. 你对数据科学和生命科学 哪个更感兴趣呢!
    1. 有提前陶瓷了没呀 你的RP是自己写的吗?
    1. 设计一个课题吧(data mining相关,很搞🥴
    1. 拿到offer的话 会来我们这里吗 会立马做什么
    1. 长期长远的的学习or职业规划(eg 读博
    1. 为什么选择这个项目?(因为IIP很感兴趣
    1. 除了你选的研究领域外你还有什么感兴趣吗?
    1. 你之前是不是全做dry lab,没有做过wet啊?
    1. 还申请了哪些学校和项目?

面试流程:提前一天下午到校签到入住宿舍,5点集合有老师带着逛校园和面试场地,面试当天上午是小组合作完成一个多米诺装置,下午是15min的个人面试。

【关于小组合作】
5人小组(个别可能4~6),每组2个老师,总共2h时间完成装置,然后测试,理想状态是每个组直接被上一组触发,不需要人工介入跑完,然后也可以触发下一组,但实际上很难做到,我们这一轮10个组只有一个不需要手动介入。这一过程有一个打分表(邮件链接里就有),会具体根据装置的表现比如手动触发次数和运行时间等等赋具体的分值。整体运行完之后各小组会由那两个老师牵头进行总结回顾,每人要讲自己的贡献讨论装置设计和实际实现中成功和失败的点,最后一人一个1min总结,以及微信扫码进行小组成员互评。

个人感觉,虽然评分表上面的要求很多很吓人,但似乎装置本身的分数并不是关键,从展示结果来看大多数组应该也都不高。更重要的还是考察小组合作中体现出来的沟通交流/分工合作/领导力/执行力/时间管理/情绪控制等能力。我们组的装置最后也需要多次手动介入且并没有顺利衔接上前后组,不过我们总结时仔细跟老师讲了设计思路,做的好的地方大家互相夸夸,不好的地方也大方承认,从结果来看应该还是得到了老师的认可。所以我觉得这个流程就自然真实地展现自己就好了。

关于装置,想提前找点灵感的话,之前也有帖子提到过,b站搜<哥德堡装置>就有很多。这类装置从上往下的部分很简单,有挑战性的就是设计让小球从下往上运动的部分。我面试前翻了翻b站,总结了一些常见的类型:

  • 1 锤子型:重物转着下降把小球打上去
  • 2 跷跷板型:靠不同力臂长度
  • 3 电梯型:碰掉一个重物下坠,另一边用绳子拉着小球上升
  • 4 荡秋千型:下行上抛轨道
  • 5 弹簧型:从张紧状态释放,包括弹出和缩回
  • 6 动势结合型:动态配重,把配重撞到跷跷板另一边
  • 7 单轴板型:撞掉支撑板子的小柱使板子无轴端下坠打球

上午结束已经快12点了,下午1点就要开始,中间的时间基本只够吃个午饭。所以前一晚要注意休息,保持良好的精神状态,尤其是有午休习惯的uu

【面试流程】
首先还是在上午的地方排队签到,由机器抽签确定是哪一组第几号面试,然后到对应的组拷贝自己的PPT给老师,老师会在他们电脑上打开过一遍让你检查有没有问题,并签字确认顺序。等所有人完成,老师会统一带到候考区,简单讲解面试规则,然后就开始各个房间叫号了。每个房间有三个考官+一个助理负责计时,5minPPT展示+10min回答问题。结束后可以直接回宿舍收拾东西离校。

【关于分组】
分组应该是完全随机的,与背景和专业以及那个三选一的话题都无关。上篇有我的bg,是纯理工科,话题选的智能工业化,而我们组我的下一位同学则是纯文科背景,话题是可持续生活。所以就像很多面经提到的,考官不一定了解你专业上的东西,根据专业匹配度的不同,问题方向可能会有一定差异,所以在准备时专业上的问题和general的问题都要考虑。

【关于面试内容】
我这个组一开始两个老师先后用英文问了几个问题,我也用英文回答的,然后其中一个说“后面的问题我们用中文来吧”。听另一个室友说他们组是上来直接中文问的,所以这个也是不同房间不同情况,要做好可能需要英文回答的心理准备。

英文问题:问了一些PPT上展示的内容发表论文的具体情况、有没有意向导师

中文问题:一些AI专业相关的问题、AI交叉人文学科的可能性、要我提proposal会选跟什么学科交叉、最后以面试官为跨学科合作者,让我模拟拉他一起搞研究(除了专业本身,交叉学科是个重要话题,算是科广特色)

另外,考官有你的CV和成绩单,可能会问这上面的问题,比如就问了我几门专业课分数不高的原因

【关于时间】
专人计时,PPT结束前1min以及回答问题结束前2min会举牌提示,到点也会提示,不过不是很严格的直接打断。我当时回答完倒数第二个问题就已经到点了,结果又有老师说“不好意思我再追问一个问题”

【关于套瓷】
我是提前套瓷了导师进行了私面,导师明确表示这个项目是纯committee录取,所以确实可以直申的。不过面试中有考官问到,我就直接把套瓷情况都讲了,表明我和导师都有意向,考官听了还说你导师很厉害的,我觉得应该有点印象分吧hhh


港科广面经(夏令营)
首先是进行5分钟的英文自我介绍(自我介绍英文就答辩中文,我就选了英文啦)
然后就是3个prof轮流问问题,有简历上面的,也有简历的延伸

第一个prof:

  • 看你简历有搞机器人,可以简单说说MPC吗(我简历的延伸)?
    (说不是搞这个方向之后)
  • 可以说一下FPGA吗?(也是简历的延伸,不了解,在第一个问题说不好之后就应该说自己擅长的方向的。。猪b了哈哈)
  • 在项目经历中遇到最大的问题是什么?

第二个prof:

  • 本科GPA多少,多少名
  • 说说pid和前馈控制(可能看我前面技术都不会)
  • 你觉得你跟别的参加红鸟的人比,你的优势是什么?

第三个prof:(没时间了)

  • 如果加入了rbm,未来想要的研究方向。

HKUST(GZ)面试经验|MPhil适用

面试要求:口头报告(5分钟,用PPT)+ 问答环节(10分钟)

  • 语言:因为这两个环节是选其一使用英文表达就可以,所以非英语native speaker直接选择英文报告,中文问答就好了,以便提前准备。
  • 形式:zoom线上会议,提前测试好网络和双机位就好了~
  • 面试官:基本是你报名的hub/研究方向的老师们,而且是年轻ap,比咱们大不了多少,非常友好~

口头报告(我的PPT从三部分展开):

  • Summary of research work :以项目形式介绍我的研究、实习和创新创业经历;总结我的研究技能
  • Why …(我选择的研究方向) 主要介绍自己的研究意向,其实就是rp里的研究背景、研究意义、文献综述等部分 ;如果已经写/构想过rp,就可以把rp里的主要研究内容和研究设计放上去,只放大框架就ok
  • What I can do in …(研究方向) 摆出来自己可以完成的任务,毕竟入学后就是要打工的,得让老板知道招了你以后你能干啥 😂

口头报告:

  • PPT的立意和主线一定是最重要的❗
  • 老师会根据PPT内容提问,所以要对自己写的每句话负责
  • 我觉得之前一个朋友说得很中肯,MPhil面试就相当于你硕士论文的开题答辩,所以至少要搞清楚你MPhil期间想研究什么并清晰地展示出来
  • PPT的样式真的不重要啦,简洁不丑就行,我就是拿一个空白PPT做的,没有任何模板,如下图👉

问答环节:

  • 老师们基本上按照你申请系统上提交的CV和口头报告PPT里的内容提问
  • 建议花时间吃透自己的所有项目/经历,搞清楚自己在其中的角色、职责/作用、获得了什么,以及这对读(这个方向的)MPhil有什么用
  • 在过往研究项目里,老师可能更侧重于听选题来源、研究设计以及研究的具体落实情况
  • 这个环节其实非常case by case,甚至可以说是free talk,所以深挖完自己的过往经历 + 研究规划以后放轻松,随机应变就好

🔸我认为面试能否顺利通过最重要的就是两点:

  • 1.研究规划,研究方向和项目方向是否契合
  • 2.研究能力,研究潜力是否过关

老师们招人就是来帮忙完成研究项目的,当然希望招那些与自己方向一致,技能素质过硬的学生➡️可以根据Faculty再确认一下老师们的研究方向(和面试官知己知彼hhh),同时梳理过往的研究经历、展示清晰的研究规划

🔹我个人的血泪教训:一定要把自己硕士期间研究规划说明白,不要一直展示那些CV、PS里已经提到的东西😭因为申请系统里的东西老师早已经读过了,而且同期能拿到面试的同学应该条件都不错,强调这些意义不大,反而会浪费和老师直接沟通的机会

🔸其他方面的小tips:

  • 语言表达:逻辑清晰,分层/分点回答问题
  • 性格表现:真诚且自信就好啦~

一定要紧扣港科广所给到的三个研究主题进行书写,突出科广所在意的前沿,融合学科的特色,强调个人的创新能力和发展潜力

可以去官网看看老师最近的一些论文在研究什么,突出地写上一些问题创新的解决思路

自己的事情请自己放在心上,自己的研究方向和成果自己最清楚,不要总是想着依赖他人

2. 长期职业规划,毕业后的目标和兴趣(不超过2000字,含空格) Long-term career plan, aims and interests for future development after graduation (up to 2000 characters including spaces).

基本逻辑:明确目标——自我评估和行业分析——意向工作领域或深造

(1)明确职业目标

  • 短期目标:积累经验,提升专业技能,明确发展方向
  • 长期目标:创业,读博继续深造

【角度1:结合专业领域某个未解决的问题展开,谈谈针对此问题的方法】
【角度2:量化目标,谈及未来的论文工作量,工作方向或职业内容】

(2)自我评估与行业分析

  • 技能评估:定期自我评估,发现自身技能缺点并修正,持续学习保持行业发展的敏感度,参加专业培训、研讨会

  • 第二个问题是关于长期职业规划、目标和发展兴趣:写作的时候应该着重结合科研目标或者就业目标进行深入阐述,抛出专业性问题,由浅入深
  • 第三个问题是关于未来能为大湾区作出的贡献:写作的时候应该着重书写港科广的培养成果,能够呜呜大湾区经济科技等方面带来的进步和创新,应尽量往国家战略靠紧,进行宏大命题的叙述

注意事项:

  • 水话写作内容不应该太多,要结合自身专业性进行写作
  • 要结合自身比较突出的一两个项目进行关联写作
  • 深入地就一个领域进行写作,要注意几个问题之间的关联性,不要造成前后矛盾的问题

港科广文书书写注意事项

1、注意与港科广招生主题的契合

融合学科教育: 时代背景下需要交叉融合能源、大数据、生物医学等领域的前沿技术才能推陈出新——“复合型创新人才

教学创新: 枢纽+学域的模式,更加尊重学生研究意愿和个体化差异、实践和理论结合,以项目制为主导的小组学习模式,也采用双导师互选制+引导式教学,鼓励学生自我探索和发展——“以学生为中心”

科研成果转化和应用: 科广支持校内科研人员与产业界紧密结合,将融合性科研成果进行转化落地以解决行业面临的现实问题
// 另一个角度:港校本来和港科广互补,形成人才和技术供应网络

创新创业: 了解行业发展方向和需求,力求突破和创新,以粤港澳大湾区的经济一体化物理发展为动力,将个人事业目标与区域发展结合
建议阅读《科大战略计划》,契合科广发展理念和招生目标

2、少写水话,突出个人科研的亮点和特色

  • 一些水话、术类不要写太多,起不了作用,仔细阅读一下目标板组的老师的相关研究方向论文,看看自己的研究方向能不能往上融合
  • 突出更多一些专业性的问题和解决方法!!! (凸显个人专业性) (可以是抛出一些专业名词,或者就某一领域或未解决的问题提出出个人看法和意向描绘

3、文书只是辅助作用,面邀和录取看机缘和背景

  • 就目前的形式来看,港科广 mphil 的毕业要求也很高:要求第一作者或者共同一作者的发表论文 credits 不低于 8 分,至少一篇 Journal+Conference,且对论文级别也有严格要求
  • 文书写得天花乱坠、没有真实事,大概率被枪灰,有很多 Top 985 面试被淘汰的,“学校背景+科研能力”才是竞争的核心,不必拿少数被录取的个例来印证港科广的 bar 变低,反而是随着信息的公开,bar 越高越高

4、确保文书内容无误,申请流程无误

  • VS 和 RP 一定要好写!!! 尤其是 RP,这几乎是整个文书的核心,RP 能凸显你的个人潜力和研究水平,不写或者就算入面也不会给老师留下好印象

5、科大战略计划



港科广Mphil的申请材料中比较大家比较关心的就是RP研究计划和Vision statement(类似PS)这两个东西了,当然不代表RL推荐信和CV不重要哈

在23fall这两个材料不是以上传的方式填写而是以QA形式在系统提交

RP需要回答的三个问题总结为:

  • (1)过往相关研究经历
  • (2)研究主题(价值意义)
  • (3)研究计划(目标和方法)

具体解释在下图中列出只要按照你感兴趣的调研过可行的方向写好研究问题挑战背景以及方法即可

(1)这个要求是想要了解您在研究方面的经验和能力。如果您参与过研究项目,可以详细介绍您在项目中扮演的角色,以及项目的主题和目标是什么。如果您没有参与过研究项目,您可以分享一些与学术背景或其他经验相关的信息,以证明您有进行拟议研究项目所需的能力和资格。

(2)要求描述拟议研究主题,包括研究的一般领域和具体研究问题。研究主题应该是切实可行的,有实际意义,并且具有学术价值。可以简要说明为什么您选择了这个研究主题以及研究对于现有的学术和实际问题有何帮助。换句话说,就是我们想知道您计划研究的是什么,为什么这个研究对现实很重要,还能对学术界做出什么贡献。

(3)这个填写的是研究计划的主体,包括你的目标、方法、经验和初步结果(如果有)。解释你的计划为何重要,有什么新意,以及预计会有什么影响。如果有参考文献,请提供,并确保你的计划具有清晰、可行和可复制的特点,其他人可以在需要时重复或扩展你的工作。

VS的四个问题是:

  • (1)希望在粤港澳大湾区攻读博士/硕士的原因(up to 2000 words)
  • (2)毕业后的长期职业规划目标和兴趣(up to 2000 words)
  • (3)您希望对粤港澳大湾区的研究发展和社会做出的贡献
  • (4)您希望通过您的拟议研究计划展示的知识愿景和愿望

可以看到两个问题是关注到个人研究方向未来规划,两个问题是与大湾区相关,所以和研究计划也是有一定关联,特别是rp的第一个问题相关经历是可以紧紧联系起来的(至少我是这么做)

我们可以从RBM红鸟mphil的培养模式去看,和传统mphil不同,是依托于项目制度,先探索一段时间跨学科组队围绕申请的三个大主题:智能工业,可持续发展,医疗健康来做项目,每个人的研究方向可以细分擅长的领域,分工完成项目,半年后确定方向后选择导师,导师也是在细分的专业领域进行指导

因此,VS的撰写我们可以讲好自己的故事线,重点从相关项目经历在港科广交叉学科的培养下能够发挥怎样的优势自己对此有怎样的规划以往的项目产品和未来的研究计划可以怎样进行一个联系结合,落地到三大研究主题:智能工业,可持续,医疗健康上面,把自己的整个故事串连清楚,会更让人印象深刻!

所以VS的主体以项目入手,表明三大主题归属,这个研究方向对粤港澳大湾区发展意义在哪里,RBM的学科融合怎么帮助我实现,因此我非来港科广不可


Vision Statement样例:

Part 2: Vision Statement

(1) Reasons for wishing to pursue PhD / MPhil Studies in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) (up to 2000 characters including spaces).
= why major + why school [why GBA]

My interest in Augmented Reality (AR) arose from both academic inquiries and practical experiences. During my studies at Parsons School of Design, my exploration of AR has instilled in me a deep understanding of its potential to provide a more immersive, three-dimensional interactive experience that emphasizes the significance of the present moment. Throughout my academic journey, I have been fascinated by the possibilities of AR in providing a canvas that extends to any space in the real world. Consequently, I have dedicated myself to pushing the boundaries of experience design and the application of AR technology with the support of pursuing postgraduate study at HKUST(GZ) in the GBA.

The MPhil program tailored by HKUST(GZ) enchants me with its innovative academic framework that expertly facilitates cross-interdisciplinary education. My booting zeal in Artificial Intelligence and Computational Media and Arts under the Information Hub assures me of its being the indefectible choice for my further education. Furthermore, GBA is a bellwether administrative region that has built a complete industrial chain ecology covering major national science and technology infrastructure in key disciplines, demonstrating the region’s strong inclusiveness and policy encouragement for scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurship. It is why I chose [BLANK] as the incubation site of my company upon returning from the U.S. In 2022, I was honored to be invited by the GD, HK & Macao (International) Youth Entrepreneur Hub to become one of the innovative enterprises. The support and advantages we enjoyed boosted my confidence in my decision and inspired me to root here and grow stronger.

In a nutshell, the MPhil Studies program at HKUST(GZ) aligns perfectly with my educational goals. This opportunity channels my passion towards making a meaningful impact on the world with AR and AI technology that will be integrated into my company’s strategic development.

(2) Long-term career plan, aims and interests for future development after graduation (up to 2000 characters including spaces).
= career plan

Upon graduation, my top priority targets iteratively upgrading the current three business areas of [REDACTED] through innovative technology entrepreneurship. The theoretical knowledge, cutting-edge insights, and the brilliant like-minded I am thrilled to obtain and meet at HKUST(GZ) will definitely pump great power into my career blueprint.

I sketch out [REDACTED] Technology’s future by extending the three main business areas with AR technology regarding visualization, systemization, and interactivity. For instance, product promotion integrated with AR technology can visualize the cultural spirit behind the brand with a visual impact in a novel form, building a bridge between products and customer needs. The success with the Italian shoe brand Vibram tested the accessibility of my envision. In this case, the ideation team implanted the concepts of “sustainability” and “natural innovation” into an AR experience to bring the vivid 3D video of natural shoe-making materials being breathed into the sole, dyed and recycled into a giant tree to customers’ eyes. The support of AR made the simulation of this unseeable phenomenon a reality and may create more possibilities with the interfusion of AI. Likewise, our business cases of space optimization and social interaction have generated hundreds of AR experience designs and immersed thousands of players (customers) in various offline implementations.

Individually, my pursuit also goes toward connecting AR projects with the manifestation of various social values and perspectives, contributing my part to demonstrating the diversity of society towards economy, culture, psychological demands, and more. I aspire to lead [REDACTED] Technology to forge ahead into a global enterprise rooted in social responsibility, powered up by springing innovation and driven by state-of-the-art technologies.

(3) Contribution that you would like to make to the development of research in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and to the society (up to 2000 characters including spaces).
= your past academic and professional achievement

The Chinese economy is facing the arduous challenge that the real industrial business is experiencing a slowdown. As the “14th Five-Year Digital Economy Development Plan” states, solutions can be identified by deepening the integration of AI, virtual reality and other cutting-edge technologies to support the construction of offline consumption scenes. Accordingly, the GBA has been taken as a demonstration site of high-quality development, playing a fulcrum role in strategic competition, and is working on strengthening virtual-real interaction and aiming at breakthroughs in AI application scenarios.

My past two-year startup and management experience of a technology-driven company in Guangzhou has equipped me with valuable hands-on AR application experience in which around [REDACTED] players were engaged in over [REDACTED] commercial campaigns. The feedback and knowledge obtained from these real projects will keep directing my team to optimise virtual applications by incorporating AI technology, bringing more versatile and exceptional experiences to their users in the Greater Bay Area. Academically, I am currently fascinated by the application potential of AR-plus-AI technology in enabling shopping centres, cultural tourism, brand stores and other offline spaces to drive industrial advancement and achieve intelligent transformation. Therefore, I am ardent to integrate my experiences into research and conduct a fathom on this subject under the guidance of my supervisor, contributing my dedicative work to the GBA’s research development in focal fields.

In closing, the economic growth of GBA is a comprehensive goal that can be achieved to a higher standard by tactically coping with the synergistic relationship between extensive research and guidance from practices. On the path to realising my academic and professional goals, I am thrilled about playing a part in the GBA’s development substantively and theoretically.

(4)The intellectual vision and aspirations that you would like to demonstrate through your proposed research plan (up to 2000 characters including spaces).

Since my second year at college, I have mainly devoted myself to studying the potential of mixed reality in the offline entertainment industry and successfully composed a business plan for a prototype based on in-depth background research, diversified research methods and speculative design. That is the first time I have systematically unearthed the likelihood of increasing the utilisation of brand space by implementing AR, endeavouring to achieve dematerialisation in offline experience on top of spatial activities.

Inspired by the recent advancements in Generative Interactive Environments, I am eager to leverage the integration of AR and AI technology to create dynamic interactive environments that respond instantaneously to players’ feedback, to unlock new engagement possibilities. Therefore, the multi-scenario applications of AR-plus-AI technology are selected as my intended research focus for my postgraduate education. Technically, I aim to resolve the puzzle concerning how to elevate the productivity of AR spatial experiences by incorporating generative AI while contently generating diverse, high-quality themes catering to business needs, social needs, and spiritual attachment with a fusion of reality and imagination. HKUST (GZ) is chosen as my dream school as it is reputable for inclusiveness and innovation and is regarded as an ideal incubation site for critical and innovative thinking, upholding world-class academic pursuits and science-driven entrepreneurship.

I firmly believe that theoretical knowledge and practical experience are inseparable components of creating higher value and better social impacts. Envisioning a future, I aspire to expand [REDACTED] into a dynamic, empowering and adaptive technology enterprise proficient in creating ingenious solutions for AR spatial experience, benefiting people of all ages and all walks of life in imaginable ways.

Looking towards our 40th anniversary in 2031 and beyond, our recalibrated Strategic Plan serves as a compass, guiding our path towards more expansive possibilities for continued growth and development.

A UNIVERSITY OF TALENTS

What makes a university great is its people. Our highest priority is to attract, nurture, and retain exceptional talents who will shape the future of HKUST. To extend our global reservoir of minds and abilities, we will innovate our approaches in recruiting a diverse and talented cadre of students, faculty, and staff. By creating an environment that empowers and encourages our members to unleash their multidimensional potential, together, we will build a community of lifelong learners and innovators – a community that can make a difference in the world.

Quality Students with Diverse Backgrounds
Our goal is to build and develop a diverse and vibrant student population of varied excellence. We have rolled out comprehensive outreach campaigns in Hong Kong and the targeted countries to recruit prospective students, using both in-person activities and online platforms to give them a taste of the “HKUST experience”. Through attracting students with diverse talents and backgrounds through flexible/ targeted admissions, scholarship schemes, and other incentives, we contribute to Hong Kong’s transformation into a regional education hub.

The University is committed to supporting students’ growth through a variety of programs and services. Outside the classroom, comprehensive student support will be offered, including service learning, wellness resources, career planning, and leadership training. With the expansion of student spaces, from hostels to co-working areas, students will enjoy a vibrant campus life with multicultural integration and varied possibilities. Community-building initiatives will be expanded to enrich the HKUST experience and deepen students’ sense of affinity to our community where they develop confidence, capacity, and networks.

High Caliber Faculty Across Disciplines
Our academic standing is contingent on our ability to recruit and retain the most talented individuals from around the world. Our faculty members, with different perspectives and experiences, are a source of the University’s strength. To this end, we will continue to undertake a global faculty search in the selected areas and innovate our faculty recruitment and appointment process to attract the best minds to support our education, research, and innovation endeavors.

The faculty reward system will continue to be reviewed and enhanced to ensure competitiveness on a global scale. In addition, we will support the development of young faculty through a faculty mentorship mechanism and other resources, as well as strengthen ties within the HKUST community by promoting interaction and collaboration among faculty members.

Skilled Staff with Various Experiences
Our staff members play a vital role in every aspect of our mission. HKUST will recruit staff members effectively and competitively in every role, and position itself as the top “employer of choice” by offering a supportive and dynamic work environment and ensuring competitiveness in the market.

A priority is to strengthen a performance culture that rewards outstanding performance and offers career advancement opportunities. This will involve supporting staff learning and development through leadership and management training for middle and senior management, as well as upskilling programs on emerging technologies. By enhancing communication with staff, we will work together to make HKUST a powerhouse of innovation and achievement.

AN INTERNATIONAL LEADER IN EDUCATION AND RESEARCH

HKUST aspires to take a leadership role in driving positive changes in education and research, empowering the next generation to address global challenges. Expanding our academic horizons and capabilities will push the boundary of excellence. Our innovation approach to education equips our students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to shape the future.

关于涉及到港科广的评价问题

Link:博一连发两篇PRL!他用学科融合感知量子信息的奥秘

国内有许多研究量子技术的知名高校,为什么选择来港科大(广州)读博?

之所以选择来港科大(广州)读博主要出于两方面原因:

  • 一是因为校长倪明选教授提到学校以融合学科为特色,为高质量发展提供新动能。我感兴趣的量子信息与量子计算领域正是典型的融合学科,和学校的教学理念非常契合。
  • 二是希望能跟随我的导师王鑫老师的脚步,在量子信息、量子计算领域取得更多突破性进展。我与王鑫老师相识于百度量子计算研究所期间。从研一实习遇到他,到现在成为他的博士生,王老师不仅指导我的科研进步,更在工作生活的各个方面,潜移默化地影响着我。

如何看待跨学科科研?你认为,自己的研究方向未来在社会中将扮演怎样的角色?

我深感当今很多前沿科学都是跨学科的产物,学科交叉融合能产生"1+1>2"的奇妙化学反应。

而我的研究方向——量子人工智能,一方面我们希望用经典的机器学习方法去解决量子信息领域的诸多困难问题,促进量子信息技术的发展;另一方面,我们很期待在量子计算机上发展新型的机器学习算法,利用量子信息处理的独有特点,进一步赋能人工智能技术。

量子计算是典型的融合学科,涉及物理、数学、计算机等学科知识的交叉融合。我相信量子人工智能作为一个崭新的研究方向,会在未来的量子计算产业中扮演重要角色,对基础科学研究、社会经济、科技创新、国家安全等方面产生深远影响。

在完成科研工作的过程中,总有各种困难,是什么支撑你不断前行?
在完成研究的过程中,最大的挑战是如何在遇到瓶颈的时候坚持下去,而团队成员之间的勉励、支持与配合,不断形成正反馈是我前行的动力。

此前工作中,我们的科研工作也并非一帆风顺。在工作初步完成后,我们会将一份预印本上传到arXiv的网站上。这个网站,类似科研界的“小红书”,每个人都可以一窥即将新鲜出炉的研究成果。

你知道,地球是圆的、各地时区不同,日本的朋友最先起来,发邮件给我们论文提了意见。紧接着,一位欧洲的朋友起床,为我们送上邮件“惊喜”——“在其他相关的工作中出现过与你们类似的想法。”

这个小插曲,虽然一开始让我们措手不及、十分沮丧,但也让我深切地意识到了科研不易,更吸取了教训:必须十分严谨地面对学术、面对科研,不可有一丝丝的松懈和想当然。

此次刊登在《物理快报》的论文“Reversing Unknown Quantum Processes via Virtual Combs: for Channels with Limited Information”,背后亦是充满曲折。依稀记得项目刚开始时,我兴致勃勃,但后来一度发现是自己想简单了,找不到可以继续深挖的研究点。某一天,在想要放弃的边缘,我和合作者正随手跑着一些实验,竟突然在实验现象中发现了新的方向,这让我们很欣喜。我们大家经常会在线上线下分享自己的想法,王鑫老师也往往可以对我们的想法和建议进行把关,抓住重点和主线,减少弯路。正是这种团结协作的氛围,推动科研之路持续发展。因为,我们会把完成的“paper”,看成一件由我们共同精心雕琢的作品,而不是导师布置给每个人的一项作业。

交流讨论对于融合学科和理论研究有很重要的促进作用,课题组开放的讨论氛围和交叉的学科背景为量子计算提供了很好的研究环境,我们经常一起在会议室讨论,相互启发。遇到关键点,王鑫老师也会在会议室和我们一起讨论和推进项目,直到深夜。

目前,我所在港科大(广州)的量子人工智能研究课题组已经活跃在领域内的各种国内、国际的学术会议和论坛,不断形成的正反馈能支撑我时刻保持最佳状态。

在港科大(广州)就读已有一年光景,和我们谈谈就读体验吧?未来的博士生生涯有什么规划么?

入学港科大(广州)一年以来,我感受最深的,是这里无处不在的科研氛围和创新创业精神。学校提供的软、硬件资源都让我们的科研生活十分有保障。

现在,我每天的时间主要用在研究项目上,也会参加一些学术会议。在导师和学校的资助下,我于第一学年参加了在英国爱丁堡大学举办的量子计算会议QCTiP,参加了合肥国家实验室举办的量子信息青年论坛,以及在日本北海道大学举办的AQIS2024。这些会议经验是快速扩展视野,增强与国内外专家学术交流,了解新兴方向的进展,以及算法、软件、硬件、产业各个方面的前沿的绝佳途径,帮助我更好地朝着世界最先行的学术方向前进。

未来几年,我计划继续潜心钻研量子信息与人工智能理论,争取取得更多原创性成果。毕业后,我期望能继续在量子科技领域深耕,成为一名世界一流的科研工作者。如果有机会,我还期待能到世界顶尖的研究机构从事博士后研究,进一步拓宽研究视野、提升研究水平,在一个重要的方向上不断深入直至突破。

新学期已经开始了,可以向后辈们分享下你的科研经验、建议么?

在完成科研的过程中,要坚持自己喜欢的事,想办法把热爱变成事业。换句话说,我们一定要对自己做的内容感兴趣,搞明白自己为什么要学这个专业、为什么要做这个项目。

另外,也欢迎准备深造的朋友来港科大(广州)。首先,这里有一流的师资力量和科研平台,诸如量子计算、人工智能、数据科学、智能制造、先进材料等前沿学科与重要发展方向,为我们提供探索交叉学科和培养国际化视野的路径。其次,学校全方位的支持,能够让学生全身心投入学习研究。

你是如何找到并确定自己的科研方向的?

我目前的研究兴趣集中在量子信息和人工智能的交叉领域,这也是当前国家战略需求的一个重要组成部分,在当中我找到了自己感兴趣的量子信息方向。量子计算能为经典机器学习算法带来新的思想和范式;另外,机器学习和优化技术也为量子系统的控制、纠错提供了新路径。

目前,国内这一领域的研究团队在逐步变多,大家的合作交流也逐步加强。探索这条科研道路,其实是个动态调整的结果——这当中离不开老师的指引,在研究中寻找兴趣,获得正反馈或负反馈,不断探索迭代,从而确定适合的研究方向。

选择之外,仍有选择。比如我本科阶段选择了学习数学专业,这是兴趣使然,也是对未来的一种待定,我希望能从数学的学习中打好基础,而不是过早为自己“塑形”。

数学,让我在未来遇见更多可能性。

事实上,港科大(广州)对本科生的教育模式也有此考量。本科生入学后,前两年不分专业,主要进行本科通识课程和专业基础课程学习,学生在大二学期结束时进行专业选择。

科研人到底做什么,以及他们的日常又是怎样的状态?在真正步入研究生学习之前,我并不知道答案。这个暑假,我们组来了一名新成员——一位大一本科同学。他通过“本科生科研项目”加入我们,而我恰好成为他的科研项目助教。与他携手完成项目时,我突然意识到开设这一项目的必要性——本科同学可以很早接触到科研工作者的日常工作,与我们一同参加领域内各类国际会议,这对于有志投身科研事业的学生而言,是非常难得的机会。


This is like interviewing a supervisor—you definitely want to understand the supervisor’s character, research direction, and strengths. The same goes for choosing a school; you also need to understand the school’s philosophy, strengths, and the kind of talent it seeks.
