Hong Kong Calling ...

It is that time of year when the Hong Kong universities hold events and open days to inform students (and parents) about courses and programmes on offer.  They are well worth attending for anyone considering higher education in Hong Kong as an option.  The 2012 intake will be an interesting one as there will be a double cohort of students  from the local system and students will be commencing both three year and the new four year degree programmes.  This is the last year in which entry to a three year degree is offered.  After next year all applicants will be applying for the four year degree programmes. 

We will keep updating this post - so keep checking back for more information on Hong Kong universites' information days...   

 2011 Open/Information Days are as follows:
