Latest Updates for Master's Programmes (Admissions)
- Fulfilment of Admission Condition(s)
Applicants with a conditional admission offer must upload the scanned copies (PDF or JPG, max. 2MB per file) of the documentary proof to the online application account by the submission deadline. All submitted documents will be reviewed for compliance with the conditions of admission. If you are considered to have fulfilled ALL the conditions set out in the offer letter:
a) Your online application status will be marked as “Condition(s) Met” under “Meeting Offer Condition(s)” at least two weeks after submission, but your application result will NOT be changed from “Conditional Offer” to “Offer”. No separate notification or firm offer letter will be issued to you;
b) a notification of enrolment will be emailed to you thereafter.
- Enrolment
Generally, starting from mid-July, successful applicants will receive an email notification to retrieve the enrolment notification available in the Admission Application System. To formally enroll as a student at the University, applicants are required to complete the in-person enrolment procedures, including the qualification checking (if applicable), at the time and venue indicated in the enrolment notification. Prior to in-person enrolment, applicants are required to complete the pre-enrolment process online, which will entitle them to use all electronic resources available at the University.
An email, which contains a QR code for entry to the University, will be sent to students one day prior to their scheduled time for enrolment. To ensure smooth entry to the campus, students are advised to print the enrolment notification and show both the QR code and the notification to the security staff upon entry to the University.
