The guidelines are for reference of students who wish to seek admission to PolyU based on non-local qualifications (http://www.polyu.edu.hk/as/ep_ft/annex_c.htm) . If you marginally fail to attain the grades or scores specified for certain qualifications, you may still be considered for admission if you have excellent performance at the selection interview. If you do not have any of the following qualifications but have other acceptable qualifications, you may be considered for admission to our full-time bachelor’s degree programmes taking an additional foundation year.

Closing Date
Scholarship Application Deadline: 31 March 2011
