Application Periods & Selection Process

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend an online interview 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 a student visa*. It's important to note that admitted applicants from overseas or mainland China must obtain a student visa to study in Hong Kong.

*All student visa applicants should submit their study applications well before the deadline, as the visa processing can take up to six weeks.
