FAQ > Admissions

Q1. What are the selection criteria when assessing the applicants?

We will consider applicants on the basis of the relevancy of their Bachelor’s degrees to the major subjects applied for, academic performance, public examination results, work experiences, participation in extra-curricular activities and the performance in admission interviews and/or written tests, if applicable.

Q2. Can I apply for more than one programme?

Different major subjects and/or different study modes and streams of the same major subject are regarded as different programmes. Applicants can apply for more than one programme. They should submit separate application and supporting documents, and pay the application fees for each programme. Applications will be assessed independently based on the above mentioned selection criteria.

Q3. Can I apply for the programmes if my Bachelor’s degree is awarded by a non-local university?

Applicants with their Bachelor’s degree awarded by non-local universities may be required to provide the “Report for Qualifications Assessment” from the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications which advises that the totality of their educational qualification meets the standard of a local Bachelor’s degree.

Q4. What is the major difference between Teaching and Non-teaching modes of the two-year part-time programmes?

Please refer to Admission Requirements for details.

Q5. How do I submit supporting documents after completing the online application?

Applicants are required to upload scanned copies of supporting documents to the online platform or submit copies of supporting documents (by stating clearly the application number on each document) in person to the Programme Office within 10 days after completing the online application. Submission via email / fax / post is NOT accepted. Please submit the supporting documents on time or the application cannot be processed.

Due to the large amount of applications we receive, enquiries by telephone or other means regarding the receipt of applications/supporting documents are not entertained. We will contact the applicants for clarifications if necessary.
