Admission routes: how Mainland Gaokao direct admission works
From the 2026 academic year CityU admits Mainland Gaokao students through its own “Mainland Gaokao direct admission” scheme — it does not take part in the unified national enrolment and does not use one of your JEE choices. Read the process and the deadlines here first.
Programmes and degrees: what can you study at CityU?
Ten colleges and schools, four-year bachelor's degrees, five-year double degrees, six-year veterinary medicine. Check how long a programme runs, then choose a college.
What a year costs: tuition, accommodation and living expenses
Non-local tuition is HK$190,000 per academic year, or HK$392,000 for veterinary medicine. Add accommodation and living costs, and work out the four-year total in advance.
Student visa: ID995A, HK$600 and eight weeks
The first thing to do after an offer. The form, the administrative fee, the processing time and proof of funds, all in one place.
Where you live: how to apply for a hall place in your first two years
Non-local undergraduates have priority for a hall place in their first two years, at HK$20,800 a year for a double room. The application window is only three weeks — miss it and it is gone.
Study and support: enrolment, health, the library
Who handles enrolment, who handles halls, and which health centre to go to when you are ill. Sort out these offices first and nothing will panic you.
Graduation and beyond: working in Hong Kong and where graduates go
IANG lets non-local graduates stay on to look for work. Add the employer and postgraduate lists CityU publishes, and the options are visible.

Transport, shopping, healthcare, SIM cards and part-time work, starting from Kowloon Tong
Life in Hong Kong: climate, transport, money and scams
Hong Kong drives on the left, air-conditioning indoors is fierce, and tap water is not for drinking. And one thing matters more than all of it: not getting scammed.
Can you work while you are studying?
Yes, but only four categories of activity, and you must have an NOL. Get the rules wrong and you are working illegally, with visa consequences.
