ResearchX Research Program

Why is it the top choice for Asian applicants to build an academic profile?

1

HK & Canada Professors, Precise Matching

We gather active professors from higher education powerhouses like Hong Kong and Canada, filling the gap beyond US/UK-dominated options. Professors better understand Asian student backgrounds, ensuring higher relevance and credibility of topics.

Small Cohorts, Cutting-edge Topics

Courses focus on trending areas such as AI, Algorithms, Business Analytics, and Data Science. Using PBL + SPOC pedagogy, students complete a full research cycle from topic selection to deliverables within 7–10 weeks — compact and efficient.

Dual Recommendations, Academia-Industry Integration

ResearchX uniquely integrates university professors and industry mentors into one guidance system. Upon qualified completion, students can obtain both academic and industry recommendation letters.
