If you have applied for admission through JUPAS, you should NOT submit another application to the University for admission to any programme offered under JUPAS. Any such direct application to the University will not be considered and any application fee paid will NOT be refunded. However, you may still apply directly to the University for admission to non-government funded programmes that are not offered through JUPAS.
Students currently enrolled in government-funded Bachelor's degree programmes
Following the guidelines of the University Grants Committee (UGC), transfer applications from students currently enrolled in government-funded Bachelor's degree programmes at other local institutions are generally discouraged.
Students currently enrolled in government-funded Associate Degree/Higher Diploma programmes
You can apply either directly to the University or through the JUPAS scheme, but not both. If you want the results of your current Associate Degree/Higher Diploma study to be considered, you may wish to apply directly to the University.
Current CityU students who wish to change their home major to a different major at the same level should not submit an application for admission. They should contact the Academic Regulations and Records Office to apply for a change of home major.
The online application fee for local applicants is HK$200 per programme. You can submit additional applications if you wish to apply for more than one programme. The application fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, and must be paid before your application can be processed.
When submitting your application for assessment, you are required to pay only the prescribed application fee, not any other fees, to the University.
The application system accepts payment using a credit card (Visa, MasterCard or UnionPay). Contact us if you encounter payment difficulties in paying online.
If you wish to apply for more than one programme, log in to your application account, click on "Apply for New Programme(s)" and select an additional programme.
If you have applied for more than one programme, your programme choices will receive equal priority in our processing. Admission offers, if any, may be made at different times.
If you receive more than one admission offer from the University, the acceptance of a later offer will supersede and cancel the previous acceptance of any other offer(s). Note that at any one time, you can accept one admission offer only.
See programme pages.
Portfolio materials may include documentation of still photography, paintings/drawings, sculptures, musical compositions/performances, films/videos, software, multi-media productions, academic or creative writing, science projects and other forms of creative activity.
