Yes. Successful completion of courses at the tertiary level (i.e. qualifications must be at a level not lower than Level 4 in the Hong Kong Qualifications Framework or equivalent and obtained from a recognized Tertiary Institututions and be completed by coursework) may be counted towards your OUHK degree. Associate Degree holders and Higher Diploma holders from recognized local programmes may obtain exemptions of up to 80 credits. These students may be required to complete only 40 credits to obtain a 120-credit OUHK Bachelor's degree, or only 80 credits to obtain a 160-credit Bachelor's degree with honours. Furthermore, if you wish to transfer credits into an OUHK Postgraduate Diploma or Master's degree programme, then the qualification you hold must be at Postgraduate level standard, that is, at least be a Postgraduate Certificate/Postgraduate Diploma or a higher degree at Master's degree level.  In this regard, certain postgraduate programmes may set higher academic requirements for advanced standing. Research degrees are only accepted for transfer towards certain programmes at postgraduate level.

The OUHK offers three advanced standing/credit exemption schemes which are General Credit Transfer (GCT), Specific (course-to-course) Credit Transfer (SCT) and Block Credit Transfer (BCT).
