Faculties may invite candidates to attend interviews/entrance tests on a selective basis, meaning that not all candidates need to attend these assessments; and being invited to an interview/test is not an indicator of the chance of admission.
Please click on the Faculty below to check out the respective programmes' interview schedule. The schedule is for reference only and is subject to change. For students studying overseas and cannot attend a face-to-face interview in Hong Kong, phone or Skype interview may be arranged on a case-by-case basis.
