Application requirements: Bachelor degree in this major or related major, or other major, with strong language skills.
Language requirements: IELTS 7 (score not less than 6.5); Some majors require IELTS score of 7.5.
Pure English majors are relatively boring, and the application rate of such majors is not high because most English majors in Chinese mainland have the need to change majors. This major has the highest requirement for applicants' language foundation. During the application process, all English documents are examined very strictly and need to attend the school interview. The applicant's language ability must be authentic and stand the test. Non-English majors can also apply boldly, provided that your language ability is quite good.
2. Chinese major
Application requirements: Bachelor degree in this major or related major, or other major.
Language requirements: IELTS 6, or Putonghua proficiency certificate (taught in Chinese in some schools).
It is relatively easy for mainland students to apply for Chinese language-related majors. After all, Chinese is our mother tongue. Of course, for non-professional applicants, we need a sincere and well-founded personal statement, so that the Hong Kong school can recognize our motivation to study Chinese in Hong Kong, and never let the school feel that we have to choose a Chinese major in order to study in Hong Kong. In addition, it is strongly recommended that all applicants who are south of the Yangtze River or whose Putonghua is not up to standard provide Putonghua grade certificates, and must practice Putonghua hard, otherwise the school interview will be in big trouble.
Three. Teaching specialty
Requirements: Bachelor degree in this major or related major, teaching experience is preferred; Non-undergraduate major with rich teaching experience.
Language requirements: English education (IELTS 6.5), teaching Chinese as a foreign language (starting from IELTS 5.5, some schools teach Chinese).
These two majors belong to pedagogy, and some schools set them as the two directions of master of education. Applicants for these two majors must have teaching-related experience, such as teachers, tutors or working in private training institutions. Applicants should have a teacher qualification certificate, and applicants majoring in Chinese as a foreign language should provide a certificate of Putonghua level. To apply for this major, we must make it clear that teaching experience is superior to academic background.
Four. Translation major
Application requirements: Bachelor degree in this major or related major; Bachelor degree or other major, strong language skills.
Language requirements: IELTS 6.5.
The translation major in Hong Kong is mainly theoretical, so those applicants who are interested in translation, interpretation and simultaneous interpretation will be a little disappointed! Translation majors are not strict with applicants' professional requirements. Applicants majoring in linguistics, such as English and various small languages, or excellent IELTS scores, can apply for translation. In addition, the computer-aided translation major of the Chinese University of Hong Kong needs to be mentioned. Many applicants are worried about whether this major is mainly computer. To paraphrase the school teacher, this major is to make students concentrate on becoming translators. So, every way? Brain blindness? You can apply with confidence.
