What Is Delta X?
Delta X is a merit-based fellowship award for students outside the AI x Web3 stream. If you are admitted to an eligible programme or stream, you are automatically considered based on your admission portfolio — there is no separate application.
Selected outstanding students may be invited to join the Delta X Tech Immersion Fellowship and participate in Shanghai in Semester 2 (optional). Fellowship offers are sent from May to July by email.
Who Is Eligible?
This opportunity applies to newly admitted postgraduate students in the following programmes and streams:
- MSc(CompSc) — Cyber Security
- MSc(CompSc) — Financial Computing
- MSc(CompSc) — Multimedia Computing
- MSc(CompSc) — General Stream
- MSc(ECom&IComp)
- MDASC
For the AI & Decentralized Technologies (AI x Web3) stream, Delta X is included with admission as the Delta X Bundle (Semester 1 in Shanghai) — not through this merit-based pathway.
How It Works
- Apply to your programme as usual through the HKU admissions portal.
- No separate Delta X application — you are automatically considered from your admission portfolio.
- Merit-based selection — outstanding applicants may receive a fellowship offer by email from May to July.
- Semester 2 in Shanghai — optional participation for selected awardees at the HKU-CDS Shanghai Teaching & Research Site.
Official Disclaimer: All fellowship stipends are disbursed post successful completion of the second-semester curriculum and full adherence to mandatory attendance and programme regulations. Non-compliance will result in immediate fellowship revocation and complete forfeiture of all entitled benefits.
