Academic qualifications, work experience, special projects undertaken, employer's financial and moral support, performance during interview are counted.  Chance of admission also depends on the competitiveness among applicants.

Generally, applicants with a few years of working experience in business and technology and with appropriate academic qualifications stand a better chance of being admitted.

We will interview most of the candidates with high potential for being admitted.  However, straight-in without an interview is also possible.

Along with the application the following documents are required to be submitted:
a. Graduate transcript with grading system (or interim transcript if graduate transcript is not available yet)
b. Officially certified degree certificate*, if available
c. English Language proficiency test score report, such as TOEFL or IELTS (only for applicants with qualifications from institutions outside HK where the language of instruction and examination is not English)
d. Proof of Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) / average grade / average mark (If the transcript does not show the cumulative GPA / average grade / average mark, or no school proof is available, please complete the online form in the TPg system).
e. Official proof of class ranking, if available
f. A curriculum vitae (C.V.)
g. Identity documents; Visa / Entry Permit (if applicable)

Applicants are NOT required to submit original documents during the application stage.  Should an applicant be given an admission offer by the Programme, he/she will receive notification of the need to submit original/certified true copy of the documents.

* An official copy can be an original copy or a certified true copy.  For Students from Mainland China, an official copy of Bachelor degree certificate is also required.  The University will only ACCEPT originals or copies of the documents that have been duly declared as true copies before a notary public (e.g. a Commissioner for Oaths at a City District Office in Hong Kong).  Copies of documents may be certified by the appropriate officials of your home institution if you are an overseas applicant.  No photocopies will be accepted.

Please note that documents once submitted will not be returned, and will be destroyed if the application is unsuccessful.

You do not need to submit reference letters or ask your referees to complete a form at the time of application.  The Programme Office will contact you or the referees directly afterwards if reference letters are required.

We strongly recommend submitting early to allow for technical difficulties or severe traffic that may occur on deadline days.  To avoid this, please consider submitting your application a day or two before the deadline.

Other than under very rare and exceptional circumstances, we cannot review files unless they are fully completed.  That means we must receive:

• the completed application form;
• the application fee of HK$300;
• copies of the transcripts of all tertiary educational institutions attended; and
• the copy of the official score report on English Language Proficiency Test (if English was not used as the medium of instruction in your undergraduate or postgraduate studies).

The HKU code number for the TOEFL is 9671.

Only original test reports are accepted.  You could ask the test center to send the official reports directly to HKU.

There is no specified GPA requirement for our admissions requirement but we will consider your all-round qualifications and credentials.
