‘Outstanding’ NOVARS PhD student receives 2019 Chinese government award

Hongshuo Fan, a NOVARS PhD student at The University of Manchester’s Department of Music, has been recognised for his outstanding performance as a self-financed student abroad by the Chinese government.

The award is the highest accolade the Chinese government gives to graduate students studying outside of China who are not receiving financial support from the Chinese government. The Chinese government gives this prize out annually based on a record of outstanding accomplishments in any discipline.

This is just the latest award Hongshuo Fang has been handed for his research into live electronics and video, as he also scooped the 2019 Giga Hetrz Production Award for his piece >>Handwriting<< in December 2019.
