Apart from the tuition, new students are required to pay a caution money (HK$400) as a compulsory deposit on first registration. Charges such as outstanding library dues or other unpaid claims may be made against this deposit. The balance will be refunded if the student leaves the University before graduation. At graduation, the student is required to restore the balance of the caution money to its original level and the full amount of the caution money will be transferred towards graduation fee.

Tuition Arrangement to the following categories of students

i) Local Full-time Research Postgraduate (RPG) Students

The Hong Kong Government has set up a Tuition Waiver Scheme for Local Full-time RPG Students. For the terms and conditions of the Tuition Waiver Scheme, please visit HERE.

A waive of the tuition fee will be automatically posted to the Student Account of eligible students a few days after they have program registered.  No separate application or procedure is required. However, students should settle the caution money and other fees as requested.

ii) RPG Students with Postgraduate Studentship (PGS)/ PhD Fellowship to offset tuition

Tuition has been split into 3 installments with different due dates for each regular term.

If students choose to settle their tuition fee by PGS/ Fellowship, no separate application or action is required. The corresponding due amount of tuition will be automatically cleared by PGS/ Fellowship.

iii) Students who do not have PGS (eg. part-time students) or choose to settle their tuition fee in one lumpsum payment

They should refer to the outstanding amount shown in SIS (Student Center), and follow existing payment instructions to pay the whole outstanding amount.
