Frequently Asked Questions
I am interested in Practical, Interpreting and Technology courses. Can I take different courses from different streams?

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),
  2. You have met the prerequisites and conditions for taking a certain course (if applicable), and
  3. The timetabling of the subjects does not clash.
I am a PRC citizen with a B.A. from a university in China. Can I apply for the Programme? Do I need to apply for a student visa?

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.

Should I arrange to send my supporting document(s) (e.g. official transcript(s)) directly from the institution(s)?

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.

I am a final year undergraduate/postgraduate student. Can I apply now, or should I wait until my degree is conferred?

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.

How do I pay the application fee?

To complete an application, applicants are required to pay a non-refundable application fee of HK$350 (Local students) / HK$450 (Non-local students) for each online application. Otherwise the application will not be further processed. Please settle the fee by one of the following methods:
