Applying for the Master of Science in Teaching in Hong Kong, the average score is only 80, and my English ability is limited. The school is generally an undergraduate majoring in electronics. Can the success rate be over half? 1. It is understood that the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, City University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Baptist University currently allow applicants to apply with CET-6 scores, without providing IELTS and TOEFL scores. This provides more opportunities for many students who have achieved excellent results in CET-6. The year before last, several students were admitted to Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Among them, some students have been recognized by HKUST by virtue of their excellent CET-6 results.

Hong Kong does not need an exam to apply for a master's degree in autumn, but it is not easier than the postgraduate entrance examination in the Mainland. Hong Kong universities attach great importance to the quality of applicants, so students should spend more time on their application materials. Hong Kong universities conduct "rolling enrollment" and issue admission notices according to the registration situation until they are full. The competition is fierce. Students should submit application materials as soon as possible.

2. Applicants generally need the following materials:

Undergraduate transcript: it must be stamped by the graduation school.

English proficiency certificate: TOEFL or IELTS scores are usually required, and some schools also accept CET-6 scores. Although English scores are not the main admission criteria, a good English score is obviously more competitive.

GRE/GMAT scores: Some schools require GRE scores, and some business majors require GMAT scores.

Application Form: It can be downloaded from the university website or applied online (recommended).

Letter of recommendation: Generally, universities in Hong Kong only need two letters of recommendation, but they must be people in the academic field, and others are not accepted. There are only one or two forms of recommendation letters, not lengthy ones. Its content is an evaluation of your academic ability. In addition, comments and suggestions on your research plan are also required, which can not be ignored. The recommendation form can also be downloaded from the university website.

Application fee. Generally, it costs HK$ 100 to HK$ 200. Some schools charge less for online application than for paper application.

The research proposal is purely academic, and there is no need to add personal experiences and feelings. It requires the applicant to have a clear research plan and grasp it well. This plan must be very specific, not too broad. The research plan generally includes the following points:

The topic is the problem you want to solve.

The significance of studying this problem

The previous research situation is a legacy.

Methodology (methodology)

Bibliography: This is very important, but it is often overlooked.

Generally speaking, it is suggested to contact the professor first to determine the research topic and method. , and submit a formal plan with the consent of the professor. Of course, if you can get the professor's attention, let him give you advice and even help you revise it, then the chances of success are great.

3. Teaching graduate students does not participate in research work, so there is no subsidy to get, and usually there are scholarships to apply for in the middle of study. The number of scholarships varies greatly, and the number is small. If you plan to study as a teaching graduate student, you should plan to "complete your studies without a scholarship".

4. Generally, all mails to schools are sent in English, which is the official language of all schools in Hong Kong, and there is no coding problem.

TOEFL, IELTS, GRE and GMAT

English proficiency proved by TOEFL and IELTS is necessary for mainland students, so you can choose one of them. Some majors recognize China's CET-6. Although higher English scores can't play a decisive role in admission, they will leave a good impression. GRE and GMAT are graduate entrance examinations in the United States. General business majors require GMAT scores, while non-business majors in some schools require GRE scores. This grade can't replace English grade.

It doesn't matter if you didn't take the exam when you applied, or if your grades were not satisfactory. Remember to submit your application first, and then delay submitting your grades. Generally, the latest time to submit grades can be until the end of March of the following year, and some can be later. Contact the school to know the specific time.

The way to submit the results is to send them directly to the school by the examination institution. Each school or college has its own delivery code. For details, please refer to the relevant articles in the required reading for studying in Hong Kong.

5. Hope/success rate of application

The most common question asked by mainland applicants is "What are my chances of successful application?" "What are my chances of successful application?" . To tell the truth, this kind of question really stumped many students who answered the question, because there is no uniform standard for postgraduate admission in Hong Kong schools, nor is it "one size fits all", but there are still rules to follow. The following are the standards we refer to when positioning for you. I hope you can position yourself according to your own situation.

The following situations will increase the chances of success:

Undergraduate "origin" is good: 2 1 1/985 compared with ordinary colleges and universities.

Good undergraduate grades: high GPA/high ranking in the department relative to low grades/low ranking.

Have research experience (applicable to research type): I have done research before, not without it.

The recommender has high prestige: the recommendation of famous professors in the field is relative to that of ordinary lecturers.

Referee relationship: the target professor and the recommended professor are close (even unheard of).

High-quality research plan (suitable for research type): a high-quality research plan is better than some random words.

Excellent interview performance: clear and polite answers

The following situations will increase the difficulty of application:

The standard of the target school is very high: HKU and CUHK are relative to City University and PolyU.

Target major Hong Kong hot: financial management major is relative to agriculture and forestry major.

Research graduate students: research graduate students are compared with teaching graduate students.

Follow suit and apply for a major (except those who have achieved results in changing majors): apply for a different major than the undergraduate major you are good at.

The application is mainly determined by these aspects, but whether the application can be accepted is, after all, decided by the school, department and professor. At the time of application, no one can predict the final result, so please "position" yourself with the above conditions and estimate how confident you are.

The comparative data provided below are for the applicant's reference only:

The total score of applying for research-oriented graduate students is: 2 1 1/985 schools, more than 85/ 100, ranking very high in the departments of ordinary universities.

The total score of graduate students applying for teaching mode is more than 211/985,80/100, which ranks higher in colleges and universities.

There are successful precedents for students from two or more mainland schools to apply for teaching-oriented graduate students (non-popular or characteristic majors) in Hong Kong.

Students from three or more mainland schools also have successful precedents in applying to teach graduate students (non-popular or characteristic majors) in other schools.

Students from one or more mainland schools can try to apply for research-oriented graduate students (non-popular or characteristic majors) in Hong Kong, and there is great hope.

Students from two or more mainland schools can try to apply for research-oriented graduate students (non-popular or characteristic majors) from other schools, and there is great hope.

These data do not mean that this is a necessary condition for successful application. Below this standard, you can still apply, and there are successful precedents.

6. Graduation way out

Mainland students who come to Hong Kong for graduate studies usually only pay attention to their academic performance, ignoring participating in various activities to integrate into Hong Kong society. The employment situation in Hong Kong is grim after graduation.

When choosing a school in Hong Kong, applicants should have a clear understanding of the employment situation in Hong Kong and the challenges they will face after graduation. If they intend to stay in Hong Kong for employment, they should try their best to make up for their shortcomings and make themselves more competitive in the job market in Hong Kong.

7. Study time

Under normal circumstances, the full-time postgraduate teaching period in Hong Kong schools is as follows:

Doctoral students: 5-6 years.

Research-oriented postgraduate: 2 years.

Teaching graduate students: 1 year

If you study part-time, the time is usually doubled.
