1. Can I submit a late application?
Late applications will be accepted before 12:00 noon, August 22, 2025 (Hong Kong Time). As places are being filled all the time, you are advised to apply for admissions as early as possible.
2. Can I apply if my examination results have not been released before the deadline for application?
You can apply for admissions provided that you can submit your final examination results and any other required documents by August 2025. You should submit the application first and send the final examination results to the University as soon as possible.
3. Is there any interview or test?
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview in February to March 2025. The arrangements for interview will be sent to shortlisted candidates by e-mail. However, being invited for an interview is not an indicator of the chance of admission.
4. When will I receive an offer of admission from the University?
You will receive an admission offer starting from March to the end of August 2025. However, if you are placed on a waiting list, you may not hear the result of your application until later. If you are unlikely to be offered a place, the University will try to let you know your application status as soon as possible via the online application system.
5. How much is the composition fee?
The BASc(SDS) programme is a UGC-funded programme. The composition (tuition) fee for the academic year 2025-26 is HK$44,500 for local students (subject to approval).
6. I have completed an online application through the Direct Admissions Scheme (DAS), what should I do next?
You may upload additional supporting documents through the Online Document Upload System after submission of an online application. For results to be released at a later date, please upload them to the system once available. You are not required to submit any hard copies and/or certified true copies of your documents to the University during the application stage. After you have received a confirmed offer from the University, you will be given instructions on how to submit official documents.
Please refer to the Application Guide for details.
