I. Academic background

The education system in Hong Kong is similar to that in Britain. The biggest difference between Hong Kong University and American universities is that they attach great importance to your undergraduate school. You are generally required to have an honorary bachelor's degree and a master's degree. If you apply for a doctorate directly, you need an honorary bachelor's degree or a first-class bachelor's degree with equivalent academic qualifications.

Second, GPA

1. If you want to apply for the University of Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, if you are a student of 985/2 1 1, your GPA should be 85, which is higher than 3.4 under the standard of 4 points. If you are a student of 985/2 1 1 university, the GPA requirements will be higher, generally 90 points, which is more than 3.6 points in the 4-point standard.

2. To apply for Hong Kong Polytechnic University, City University of Hong Kong and Baptist University, if you are a student of 985/2 1 1 university, you need GPA of 80 and above. If you are a double-degree university in Africa, your GPA needs to reach 85 points, which is more than 3.4 points in the scoring standard of 4 points. Generally, GPA3.0 is a threshold for applying for a doctorate in a public university. If it is lower than 3.0, it is best to apply for a private university.

Third, TOEFL/IELTS

Colleges and universities in Hong Kong generally accept TOEFL or IELTS scores. Just provide one of them. Moreover, both TOEFL and IELTS have requirements in official website, which require not only the total score, but also the small scores of each part. In addition, TOEFL or IELTS scores must be in the last two years.
