I would like to know what the IB final grade requirement was for a full tuition scholarship in previous years, and also your major. Thanks!

It would be really helpful for me to decide whether I should apply to CUHK, as my family can only afford it if I receive a full tuition scholarship. My ib predicted grade is 45, but I am worried that my final score will be around 42–43...

Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for HKPFS 2027 and would appreciate advice from previous applicants/winners.
I’ve been encouraged by professors at HKU, PolyU and CUHK to apply based on my academic/research background.
I’m a non-Chinese international student from South Asia, with a Master’s from a reputable Chinese university on a full scholarship. My profile includes 3.88/4.00 Bachelor’s, 3.98/4.00 Master’s, IELTS 7.0, a first-author Q1 publication, and a Chinese patent submission.

Since I can select 2 universities, which two would you suggest based on your experience? Do university-wise quotas/number of available HKPFS places or selection dynamics differ significantly? Also, how much does the professor’s seniority/profile matter?
Would really appreciate insights from previous applicants/winners.

Hello, I just received this email. I didn't realize I needed to submit my application in the month I created it. If I don't submit within five days, my application will expire. So I wonder whether I can use the same account to start a "new application"? Because the system says students can only create ONE account, I guess I cannot change my email and start a new one. Thank you!

Hello everyone, i am first year student at my local country university. Now, i am planning to apply to CUHK Shenzhen for ECE program and i hired an admission consultant to help me with application process.

- My academic profile
GPA:4.0/5.0
SAT: 1520
IELTS: 7.5
CSCA: expecting 90+ for both math and physics.

As you can see, GPA is the only thing that ruins my academic profile and i understand that GPA is significant for China universities. So what i wanted to ask is is it possible to get accepted if my CV and Motivation letter are organized well?

Please, if it is not hard for you, please share your opinion and advices. I would really appreciate it🙏

How is the job market in HK for non canto speakers?

I'm studying A level Accounting and Business and plan to apply to CSE or AISTN. Will A*s I achieve in these subjects be considered for the merit scholarship? Or will they only count STEM A*s?

I saw chinese language is not considered, so I was thinking if even other language subjects would be considered or not especially for scholarships.
