Medical Science | Scholarship for Nigerians and Africans - Part 101

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Undergraduate Scholarship for International Students 2011: Accountancy, Finance, Applied Biology, Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, BBA, Chemical Technology

Due to the differences in education systems, school-leaving qualifications that are acceptable for entrance to universities in other places may not necessarily be acceptable for entrance to an undergraduate programme at PolyU. To be eligible to apply for admission to our full-time government-funded (HKALE-entry) bachelor’s degree programmes, candidates who have studied under a non-local curriculum are expected to have achieved an academic standard equivalent to GCE A-level, or have satisfactorily completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma or the first year of university education.

The guidelines are for reference of students who wish to seek admission to PolyU based on non-local qualifications  . 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.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 31 March 2011
