If you are applying for a programme with specific requirements, you should submit the “Admissions Supplementary Form for Programmes with Specific Entry Requirement” and relevant supporting documents (e.g. copies of certificate, transcript or proof of working experience) with your application. Insufficient documents may result in the delay of your application. Approval should be obtained from the relevant School before you are admitted to the programme. You will be informed in writing for the application results. If you fail to fulfill the specific entry requirements, the relevant course fee that you have paid for will be refunded upon your return of the course materials/other materials, if any, which have been given to you in connection with the registration.
