| General University Admission Requirements |
|
| Students from outside Hong Kong |
|
| The University welcomes overseas applications. Non-local applicants holding an IB Diploma, Associate Degree, Higher Diploma/Professional Diploma/Diploma or GCE qualifications or who wish to apply as Mature Applicants may refer to the relevant requirements as listed in Students from Hong Kong. |
|
| Applicants who apply for admission on the basis of overseas qualifications should refer to the following table listing the overseas qualifications recognised by the University. Given the diversity of education systems around the world, the acceptable overseas qualifications listed below may not cover every region. The University normally expects applicants to have obtained an academic standard equivalent to GCE AL or obtained the International Baccalaureate Diploma or the first year of a 3-Year undergraduate education. School leaving qualifications that are acceptable for admission to universities in other places may not necessarily be acceptable or sufficient for admission to the undergraduate programmes offered by the University. |
|
| In addition to the General Admission Requirements, individual programmes may require specific course background. Applicants not taking local examinations are expected to fulfill the Programme Admission Requirements with equivalent courses obtained in GCE/GCSE/IGCSE and the like. |
|
| Admission is on a competitive basis. Applicants who satisfy the minimum entrance requirements are eligible to apply for admission, however, this does not guarantee admission to the University. |
|
| Applicants applying via the Direct (Non-JUPAS) Admission Scheme for 2012 entry will be considered for admission to the 3-year curriculum programmes only (unless specified). Admitted students without 13 years of pre-university (Primary and Secondary) education/sub-degree/undergraduate degree or above qualification may be required to take additional course(s). Admission of such qualifications is considered on a case-by-case basis. |
