Application for the Undergraduate Programmes at CUHK

If you require a student visa to study in Hong Kong, you can apply for full-time undergraduate studies at The Chinese University of Hong Kong through "International Students Admission Scheme".   Those who have the right of abode in Hong Kong or the right to land in Hong Kong (i.e. those who do not require a student visa to study in Hong Kong) are required to apply via the "Non-JUPAS (Local) Scheme".

Applicants shall be eligible to apply if they:

possess a qualification obtained outside Hong Kong which qualifies them for university admission in the country/region where such qualification is obtained* (e.g. SAT in USA, UEC / STPM in Malaysia, HSC / TER in Australia, OSSD in Canada, etc.); OR
have acquired an International Baccalaureate Diploma (check preferred subject requirements of the programmes); OR
have obtained in one sitting of the GCE Advanced Level Examination pass grades in no less than three Advanced Level subjects (Applicants with pass grades in 2 Advanced Level and 2 Advanced Subsidiary Level subjects may also apply); OR
