Yes. You can only choose one stream as your major (i.e. Interpreting,  Practical, or Technology), but if you fulfill the following requirements, you will be allowed to take courses from other streams as electives:

  1. The final study schedule meets the graduation requirement (i.e. 9 courses, 27 units),

  3. The timetabling of the subjects does not clash.

Yes, you may apply for the full-time mode, but not for the part-time mode (as you will need to apply for a student visa and the visa entrance requirement only allows full-time mode study). You may also refer to our website for the details of admission requirements, and the Graduate School website for the details of applying for a student visa.

This is not necessary at the stage of application. You can simply provide us with photocopies of your supporting document(s) via mail / the online application system. However, once you are admitted to our Programme, you need to arrange for your official transcript(s) to be sent directly from the college / university / institution you attended to the Graduate School by the date stipulated in the admission offer letter.

If you are in your final year of study, you may submit your application for the Programme before obtaining a confirmation of graduation. Successful applicants will be recommended and the Graduate School will give a provisional admission offer.

To complete an application, applicants are required to pay a non-refundable application fee of HK$450 (for both local and non-local students) for each online application. Otherwise, the application will not be further processed. Please make an online payment by using VISA/MASTER, China UnionPay (CUP) Card or Alipay/WeChat Pay to settle the application fee.

For details, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions of the Taught Postgraduate Programme provided by the Academic Registry.

Normally recommendation emails to successful applications will be sent by email within 1 to 2 weeks after the interview. The Graduate School will then issue the official acceptance letters in due course (usually it takes about 1 to 2 weeks after the recommendation emails are sent out).

In order to confirm your acceptance of the offer, you will need to pay the first instalment of the tuition fee plus other required fees within 2 weeks from the date of the official acceptance letter. Please also be reminded that all fees paid are NOT refundable. No further notification will be sent to unsuccessful applications and application results will be updated on the online application system for applicants’ reference.
