Financial Assistance

As in most countries, the HKSAR Government does not provide financial aid to non-local students. However, thanks to the Government’s support for the development of Hong Kong as an educational hub for students from around the world, HKU’s tuition fees are very low by international standard. With the current student visa policy, non-local students can undertake part-time work on campus during the semester, and a full-time internship during their summer vacation in the city. Graduates can take up full-time employment on finishing their studies at HKU.
