Master of Arts in Global Histories of Education [MAGHE]

Entrance Requirements

Applications should hold a recognised Bachelor’s degree in History, Education or any other relevant disciplines. Shortlisted applicants may be required to attend an interview. 

Applicants whose entrance qualification is obtained from an institution in a non-English speaking system should normally fulfil one of the following minimum English proficiency requirements:

• Overall score of IELTS 6.0 (academic version) (the test should be taken in test centres and the result should be valid within two years); or
• TOEFL score of 80 (internet-based test) (the test should be taken in test centres and the result should be valid within two years); or
• Band 6 in the Chinese Mainland’s College English Test (CET) (a total score of 430 or above and the test result should be valid within two years); or
• Grade C or above in GCSE / GCE OL English; or
• Other equivalent qualifications.

The results of IELTS/TOEFL provided should be within two years (i.e., for the 2024/25 intake, the IELTS/TOEFL test must be obtained on or after 1 Jan 2022); and

The results of IELTS/TOEFL should be “taken in test centres” (i.e., tests taken online such as IELTS indicator/IELTS Online and TOEFL Home Editions are NOT accepted).

Notes to Non-local Applicants

• Applicants whose entrance qualification is obtained from an institution in a non-English speaking system should include their IELTS/TOEFL test result taken in test centres within 2 years in the application documents. Otherwise, the application may be delayed.
• It normally takes 6-8 weeks for the Hong Kong Immigration Department to process visa applications. You are therefore strongly advised to submit your application as early as possible. 
• Your application can be completed online without going through any education agencies.
