The application time generally starts from 165438+ 10 of the previous year and ends in February and March of the following year. The exact date varies from school to school. Please check on the websites of each school. Hong Kong graduate students are divided into teaching graduate students and research graduate students. Teaching-oriented graduate students are relatively easy to apply for the exam, and what they learn is more practical. However, the research-oriented graduate students finally got the research-oriented master's degree, so it is more difficult to apply. But if you want to do scientific research and study for a doctorate, you'd better apply for research, which will take a long time.
First of all, you can check the university online, such as the distribution of departments and the number of scholarships, determine the application target, and then start to apply formally. The following materials are generally required for postgraduate applications in Hong Kong universities:
1. Basic information: At present, applications are basically made online. After registering users, you can submit relevant information and materials on it. Anyway, first of all, you have to fill in some basic information, of which the email address is the most important, because all the universities there inform you of the interview and admission by email. In addition, of course, we should also fill in the graduation school, department, internship, awards, etc. to deepen our understanding. No exaggeration, just seek truth from facts.
2. Proof of English proficiency: Because all universities in Hong Kong basically teach in English, English scores are very important. Generally speaking, you should have TOEFL scores. Unlike the United States, universities in Hong Kong do not require ETS to issue scores, but only copies. Some universities don't even have to take TOEFL scores, but mainland CET-4 and CET-6 certificates are also acceptable. But good TOEFL scores are obviously more competitive. As far as I know, TOEFL GRE scores are necessary to apply for a well-known university like The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Minimum requirements for English proficiency test required by Baptist University: 550 for the old or 79 for the new, 6 for IELTS, or passing CET-6.
I applied with a score of 6-487. )
3. Undergraduate transcript: It must be notarized by the school, and the credits should be above 3.0. I feel that Hong Kong attaches great importance to grades, which can be said to be the second most important admission factor besides English. If you have any minor in your daily life and your minor score is not bad, you'd better add it all to your report card. On the one hand, we can show Hong Kong that we have learned a lot during our college years, and on the other hand, we can improve our credits.
The credit of my major is 3.38, and after minor, the credit becomes 3.54. )
4. Letter of recommendation: Universities in Hong Kong generally need two letters of recommendation, which must be in the academic field, and others are not accepted. The format of the recommendation letter will be provided by the university, and the content is the evaluation of your academic ability. In fact, it is not difficult to write a recommendation letter. Just find a teacher who is familiar with you and has a good relationship to help you write it. Generally speaking, the requirements are in English. You just need to write it before and ask the teacher to sign it.
In addition, the application fee is left. The university application fee in Hong Kong is much lower than that in the United States, which is generally HK$ 200, which is affordable for most people.
Third, MSN interview
After receiving your application, the school will review your information and materials, and then send you an interview notice by email. This MSN interview requires all English. Not all students will participate in the interview, only those who meet the requirements after screening will participate, and the interview pass rate is 50% to 80%. Students should not be afraid of the interview, just prepare the interview questions in advance, make a draft, and then have something to say. The following are the interview topics I collected for the information management major of Hong Kong Baptist University: (for reference only)
1. Get ready to introduce yourself.
2. Why do you want to study in Hong Kong?
3. Why did you choose Baptist University?
4. Why did you choose this major?
5. The most interesting and least interesting classes
Step 6 take an internship
7. Graduation design topic
8. Have you studied programming?
9. What do you want to do after graduation?
10. Your question
Generally, the reason for losing in the interview is that some students write well, but this is not the case in the interview. For example, English is not good enough, and many materials are found to be fake, and sometimes some problems will be found in the interview. For example, he told the interviewer that he was admitted to another university at the same time, and he said that he also wanted to know what benefits that university had. In this case, the teacher is unwilling to accept such students.
Fourth, the issue of cost.
Generally speaking, a teaching graduate student has a tuition fee of HK$ 84,000 a year, an accommodation fee of HK$ 2,000 to HK$ 3,000 a month, and a living allowance of HK$ 1000 to HK$ 2,000, which is almost HK$ 1.2 and HK$1.3,000 a year. Of course, the school also has scholarships, which are divided according to grades, about 20 thousand Hong Kong dollars a year. I'm not sure about that either. I haven't started applying yet. It seems that after school starts. )
After the verb (the abbreviation of verb) is successfully applied,
In fact, receiving the offer proves that you are qualified to study in Hong Kong. Of course, this is only the beginning, and there are many more to come. Take the Baptist University as an example. When you receive the office from him, you must send back the "receipt" and the tuition fee to prove that you want to go to Baptist University for postgraduate study. After a while, you should send all the transcripts to Hong Kong in the name of the school. When you have a degree certificate, you should also send a copy of it to prove that you graduated from college. In addition, Hong Kong will help you apply for the "Hong Kong and Macao Pass", so you should send relevant materials, such as a copy of your household registration book, a copy of your degree certificate, and proof of property to Hong Kong. Although things are trivial, there is one thing that cannot be left behind. Be patient and optimistic about the specific requirements of Office later.
Of course, you should contact accommodation in advance, because universities in Hong Kong basically do not provide dormitories, so you can contact off-campus dormitories or rent a house outside. Also, you should review your English well, and you'd better learn some Cantonese. After all, simple Cantonese is a must for living in Hong Kong. I'm going to take the TOEFL test now and study English hard. You also need to look through books on related majors to lay the foundation for future classes.
I hope I can help you.
