Application for admission in September 2024 is now open and the first round application deadline is 12:00 noon, November 15, 2023 (Hong Kong Time).  Applications submitted after the deadline will be considered as late applications, which will be accepted before 12:00 noon, August 22, 2024 (Hong Kong Time).  As undergraduate places are being filled all the time, you are advised to apply for admission as early as possible.

You can still apply for admissions to the University in September 2024, provided that you can submit your final examination results and any other required documents by July / August 2024 (exact date to be announced).  You should submit the application form first before the first round application deadline, i.e. 12:00 noon, November 15, 2023 (Hong Kong Time) and then send the final examination results to the University as soon as possible.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend a written test and/or an interview in late February/ March 2024.  The test and interview arrangement will be sent to shortlisted candidates by e-mail in February/ March 2024.  However, being invited to attend a test / an interview is not an indicator of the chance of admission.
