Master of Arts in Music Education [MAME]

You are strongly encouraged to submit your application online www.eduhk.hk/acadprog/online/ before the application deadline. If you are a non-local applicant, please apply as early as possible allowing sufficient time for visa application.

Applications submitted after the deadline will be considered on a space-available basis. Applicants are therefore advised to apply early.

Applicants should normally hold a recognised Bachelor's degree or equivalent with music as either major or minor subject. 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 the minimum English proficiency requirements. Please refer to the programme information for details.

Yes, you can. Your registration will be confirmed subject to your successful completion of the degree studies.

Shortlisted applicants may be required to attend admission interviews, details of which will be given to individual applicants. However, if you have not been invited to an interview, you should not assume that you are not being considered for admission. Successful applicants will receive individual notifications by mail.

If you have relevant postgraduate qualifications, you can apply for credit exemption from some courses which will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

This is a self-funded programme. Tuition fees will be charged on credit basis. Tuition fees paid are normally not refundable or transferable.

Non-local degrees are also accepted provided that they are of a level equivalent to a recognised local degree. The University will assess applicants' non-local qualifications on an individual basis.

Starting from the 2019/20 intake cohort, a new definition of Non-local Students (NLS) will be adopted in accordance with the HKSAR Government policy.

If you hold one of the following documents issued by the Director of Immigration, you are regarded as a non-local student for the purpose of admission to our programme.

• student visa / entry permit; or

• visa under the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG); or

• dependent visa / entry permit (You were 18 years old or above when you were first issued with such visa / entry permit by the Immigration Department of the HKSAR.)

Definition of local and non-local applicants is as listed here. To make direct enquiries on the definition of non-local students, please contact the Education Bureau (EDB) [Email: edbinfo@edb.gov.hk / Fax: (852) 2804 6499].

We welcome non-local applicants to apply for our MA(ME) programme and you can rest assured that indication of residence status does not form a criterion for selection. You are advised to apply as early as possible, allowing sufficient time for visa application.

This is a self-funded programme. Local and non-local applicants pay the same level of tuition fee.

We welcome applications from non-Chinese speakers. As the medium of instruction is English, you are expected to have an adequate level of proficiency in English so that you will not be hindered by the teaching medium.

This is a taught postgraduate programme focusing more on coursework. Students are required to take 24 credit points in order to complete the programme.

According to the University's "Double Registration" policy, students who are enrolled in any full-time award-bearing programmes (lasting for one year or longer) of the University are not permitted to simultaneously register for another qualification at the University or a post-secondary qualification at any institutions except with prior approval by the Board of Graduate Studies. Violation of this regulation will lead to discontinuation of studies from the University. In case of doubt, students should seek advice from the Board of Graduate Studies (via the Graduate School).
