If you are thinking about Hong Kong universities it is that time of year when the Hong Kong universities hold events and open days to inform students (and parents) about courses and programmes on offer.

The 2012 intake will be an interesting one as there will be a double cohort of students  from the local system and students will be commencing both three year and the new four year degree programmes.  This is the last year in which entry to a three year degree is offered.  After next year all applicants will be applying for the four year degree programmes.

Some excellent scholarships are offered for IB students. Check the websites below for more info.

They are well worth attending for anyone considering higher education in Hong Kong as an option. Perhaps book a cheap Air Asia flight for the October break?
