Early application is recommended because:

• applications that do not meet the general entrance and/or course requirements of a programme will have to be referred to the University of London Admissions Panel for a final decision. This requires considerable processing time, so application before mid-June 2025 is advised; and

• a relevant HKU SPACE preparatory course may be full or start well before the University of London programmes application deadline. Enrolments on HKU SPACE preparatory courses  are on a first-come, first-served basis.
