The underlined parts are not OK.

#3 (if you had helpfully numbered them) comes closest - with two changes:

Many students choose to continue their education abroad because they want to attend a highly prestigious university [no comma here] whose teachers are experts in their fields.

Refer to them as instructors or professors, not "teachers".

Many students choose to continue their education abroad because they want to attend a highly prestigious university [no comma here] whose teachers are experts in their fields.

Teacher,
what is the wrong with the first one ? It is kind of possessive too.

 

[GoesStation]

People are experts in something, not at it.

 

[yi-ing]

People are experts in something, not at it.

I think maybe there is something wrong with "teachers of which".

Now is this OK?

Many students choose to continue their education abroad because they want to attend a highly prestigious university teachers of which are experts in their fields.

 

[Rover_KE]

There has to be a comma after 'university'.

You were right about the problem in the possessive. You should write whose teachers. "Teachers of which" doesn't work because the reader wonders what academic subject which is referring to.

 

[yi-ing]

You should write whose teachers.

So when can we use "something of which" format?

According to what Rover_Ke said, now the following makes sense and is grammatical:

Many students choose to continue their education abroad because they want to attend a highly prestigious university, teachers of which are experts on their fields.

I don't agree with my esteemed co-forumite on this one, and I'm pretty sure he corrected on to in. I'll try to come back with a useful example of "of which" in a similar context; I just can't think of one right now.

Sorry. It was typo. I copied and pasted the original sentence and wrongly change at to on.

Thanks I am waiting for you.

Post #7:

However, it seems that you don't agree with what Rover_Ke stated in #7 post.

Rover did not say that the quoted sentence would be correct once you added a comma; he just said it needed one. No native Anglophone would accept the quoted sentence with of which​. It just doesn't make sense.
