Admission

Submission of Application

You can submit your application online at www.eduhk.hk/acadprog/online. The University doesn't accept paper applications. Please read through the important notes contained in the "Online Application - Guided Tour" before you start an online application process.

Application fee for local applicants and non-local applicants is HK$150 and HK$300 respectively which is non-refundable and non-transferable unless the programme in question is cancelled by the University. Upon successful submission of application, you will receive an application acknowledgement by email. For any enquiries, please contact  (852) 2948 6886 or by e-mail: admit@eduhk.hk

Documents to be Submitted with Your Application

You should upload your transcript(s), certificate(s), statement of intent and other supporting documents direct on www.eduhk.hk/acadprog/online. Your application will remain incomplete until we receive all the necessary supporting materials. Due to system limitations, the maximum capacity of your upload files is 17MB in total whereas the maximum size for each file is 4 MB.

If you are a current final year student of a degree or postgraduate programme, please upload a copy of your current year results when it is available. If you are a graduate of HKIEd in 1995 or after, you do not need to submit any copies of academic transcript(s) and certificate(s) obtained at the Institute. You are, however, required to authorise the University to extract and use your records of studies at the University to process your application.

Please do not send any original documents to the University in any circumstances as the University will not be responsible for any documents mislaid. However, original documents of the qualifications stated in the application must be presented for verification at registration. Failure to do so shall lead to disqualification of the application and any offer made will be rescinded.

Applicants who have attended international institutions whose transcripts are in a language other than Chinese or English must submit those transcripts with certified English translations.

All supporting documents of unsuccessful applications will be destroyed at the end of the admission exercise.

We welcome applications from local and non-local applicants. If you are required to obtain a student visa/entry permit issued by the Director of Immigration in order to study in Hong Kong, you are regarded as a non-local applicant (subject to confirmation from the Hong Kong Immigration Department). Indication of residence status does not form a criterion for selection. 

Application Deadline and Late Applications

We operate a rolling admission process for a majority of programmes, which means the sooner you apply, the sooner your application will be assessed. We urge you to submit your application as early as possible. For the most updated admission schedule of individual programmes, please visit our admission website: http://www.eduhk.hk/acadprog/postgrad.html.

We will still accept applications after the deadlines. However, priority will be given to applications received by the deadlines.

Interviews and Admission Results

Shortlisted applicants may be required to attend admission interviews in person or by phone. An applicant who has not been invited to an interview shall not assume that he/she is not being considered for admission.

You will be informed of your application status, such as application acknowledgement, interview arrangements, etc., via your personal e-mail. No letters will be posted to you except in very exceptional circumstances.

Successful applicants will receive individual notifications by post/email. Applicants who have not been offered admission before the commencement of the programme may assume their applications unsuccessful. No individual notifications will be sent to unsuccessful or waitlisted applicants.

Credit Transfer

Credit transfer may be granted to students in recognition of their prior learning experiences. Students may submit an application from the date of programme registration till the first two weeks of each semester in each academic year. For courses on offer in the summer semester, applications should be submitted one week before the commencement of the semester. Late applications will only be considered on condition that there was enough time to complete the application process (normally 4 weeks) before the end of the courses concerned.

Cancellation of Programme

The University reserves the right to cancel any programme(s) in which case all fees paid will be refunded.

Double Registration

Students enrolled in any full-time award bearing programmes (lasting for one year or longer) of the University should not simultaneously register for another qualification at this University or a post-secondary qualification at any another institutions except with prior approval of the University. Violation of this regulation may lead to discontinuation of studies from the University. In case of doubt, please seek advice from the Registry.
