Application Period & Selection Process

Applications operate on a rolling basis. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview* and sit for an online written test during the application period or until all places are filled. We recommend that non-local applicants apply as early as possible to allow sufficient time for applying for student visas.** Admitted applicants from overseas or mainland China must obtain a student visa to study in Hong Kong.
 

* Selected applicants will be interviewed either in person or via teleconferencing

** All student visa applicants are advised to submit your study application ahead of the deadline as it normally takes ten to twelve weeks to process a visa.
