A new round of applications under the Electronic Advance Application System for Post-secondary Programmes (E-APP) will open on December 8, the Education Bureau announced today.

Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination candidates can make advance applications for full-time locally accredited sub-degree and undergraduate programmes not covered by the Joint University Programmes Admissions System for the 2023-24 academic year.

Sub-degree programmes under the Study Subsidy Scheme for Designated Professions/Sectors and most of the eligible programmes under the Non-means-tested Subsidy Scheme for Self-financing Undergraduate Studies in Hong Kong will also be included.

Around 30 post-secondary institutions and their subsidiaries will take part in this round of E-APP applications, the bureau added.

The main round of enrolment will run from tomorrow until May 22, 2023 and the second round will last from May 25 to July 10, 2023.

Students can browse the Concourse for Self-financing Post-secondary Education website for programme information, including tuition fees, entry requirements and accreditation and recognition by relevant professional bodies.

Institutions’ estimated numbers of intake places, their application and admission arrangements as well as their past admission scores and graduate statistics will also be uploaded onto the website.

Furthermore, the website will provide information on full-time University Grants Committee-funded undergraduate programmes offering senior year places, and self-financing top-up degree programmes in the 2023-24 academic year to help graduates and students of sub-degree programmes plan for further studies.
