Among them, there are more applicants for associate degree, undergraduate (bachelor) and master's courses. At present, the most popular course for adults is 1 year postgraduate course. Today, Bian Xiao will focus on the application of 1 year graduate students.
First of all, let's look at the application conditions for graduate students in Hong Kong.
age
19-45 years old. The vast majority of Hong Kong master applicants are 19-45 years old. Of course, schools in Hong Kong do not explicitly stipulate that you can't apply if you are younger than 19 or older than 45, but more factors will be evaluated during the exam. Therefore, it is relatively easier to apply for the age of 19-45.
degree
Bachelor degree. When applying for a master's degree, the applicant usually has obtained a bachelor's degree. If you apply for a private school other than University of Hong Kong Eight, some schools also accept adult self-taught undergraduate and junior college degrees, depending on the requirements of different schools and majors.
Financial support
A bank deposit certificate is required, and the balance can pay the tuition, living expenses and accommodation expenses of the applicant during his study in Hong Kong.
Then, if you meet the application conditions, how to apply specifically?
1, apply for the school
First, choose a school and major. Generally speaking, it is easier to apply for success if you choose the same or related major as the undergraduate major. Generally speaking, the school will look at the GPA scores of the majors studied during the undergraduate period. The higher the GPA score, the higher the ranking of schools and majors you can choose. In addition, English scores are also very important. If you want to apply for HKBA, IELTS should generally reach at least 6.5, and some schools even require GMAT. If you are applying for a private school other than the Eighth University of Hong Kong, Band 6 is acceptable.
Secondly, the application time. If you want to enter school in autumn (September), the latest time to submit your application is June. Of course, we should also consider the number of places in various schools. Some schools may be full in March and April and will not recruit any more students. Therefore, ideally, the application can be prepared in 1 1 month,1February or even1October of the previous year.
Step 2 apply for a student visa
After receiving the admission notice from the school, the next step is to apply for a student visa. Compared with studying in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries, the materials for applying for a student visa in Hong Kong are simpler, mainly including the application form, personal documents (such as ID card, Hong Kong-Macao Stock Connect), school documents (such as admission notice) and financial support documents (such as bank deposit certificate).
3. Apply for a Hong Kong Identity Card
Usually you can go to Hong Kong to study if you get a student visa. If you want to stay and work in Hong Kong after graduation, you can apply for a Hong Kong identity card at the same time after the student visa is approved.
4. Attend the course and graduate
Need to complete the required credits. If you fail, you need to study again.
5. Apply for a work visa.
After graduation, if you want to work in Hong Kong, you can apply for an IANG visa. According to the policy of Hong Kong, mainland graduates who go to Hong Kong can stay in Hong Kong unconditionally for one year after being issued with an IANG visa, and they are free to enter, leave, work and live in Hong Kong.
IANG visa is an important part of obtaining permanent residence status in Hong Kong through further study in Hong Kong. Bian Xiao will introduce the matters needing attention in handling and renewing the IANG visa in detail.
In addition to the application conditions and procedures, there is another point that the applicant is very concerned about, and that is the cost.
The application fee for master's degree in Hong Kong mainly includes two parts: the application fee for studying abroad and the tuition fee.
The application fee for studying abroad, if applied through a professional intermediary, is generally 20,000-30,000 RMB at present. If you apply for high-end study abroad, such as the top three universities in Hong Kong, the cost is generally around RMB 65,438+10,000.
Tuition fees vary from school to school and from major to major. Generally speaking, 1 year liberal arts tuition is 80- 1 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, 1 0 1 20,000 Hong Kong dollars,1year business14-/kloc-0. In addition, taking the English Department of The Open University of Hong Kong as an example, the annual tuition fee of/kloc-0 is about 90,000 Hong Kong dollars.
