Advanced Standing Based on HKMU (Formerly OUHK) Awards

Our graduates may use a completed university award for advanced standing applications towards a second programme at the University. 

Applications towards taught postgraduate programmes must be based on a postgraduate-level award. However, Postgraduate Diplomas in Education (PGDEs) may only be used for applications towards PGDEs and undergraduate programmes.

The maximum entitlement of claimants may be considered case by case.

The two types of credit transfer, namely, Specific Credit Transfer (SCT) and Block Credit Transfer (BCT) are available.

For BCT applications, the normal award criteria shall apply.

For SCT applications, SCT shall be awarded towards a course for counting into the second programme based on the same course having been completed and counted into the first award.

SCT

HK$1,115 per course, up to a maximum fee of HK$4,450 per application
