The Dissertation Year Fellowship is a prestigious programme to enable selected outstanding final-year PhD students to pursue an additional year of training at the University to bring their doctoral research to a higher level before graduation.

Ms Ting Lian Sharing
“The Dissertation Year Fellowship is a prestigious program that offers invaluable support to junior academics, preparing them for careers in academia and beyond. I am profoundly grateful to have been selected as a recipient of the Fellowship. The Fellowship’s generous funding and extensive support will facilitate my research into urban transport challenges. With this support, I plan to explore further innovative solutions and sustainable practices that can significantly improve urban mobility.”
