Whether holders of part-time bachelor's qualifications — correspondence, self-study or adult education degrees — can apply for a master's programme in Hong Kong is a common question among working applicants.
1. The basic answer
Some Hong Kong universities accept part-time bachelor's qualifications for taught postgraduate programmes, but they usually assess the tier of the awarding institution, programme match, language scores and work experience as a whole. Individual cases vary considerably.
2. Documents to strengthen
Language scores (IELTS or TOEFL; some programmes accept CET-6), work or project experience related to the target programme, and application documents that demonstrate subject competence are all important evidence in the assessment.
3. What we suggest
Start with a profile diagnosis to define the range of universities and programmes you can realistically target, then decide whether to add language scores or project experience. Let the individual assessment conclusion guide your plan.
