The University of Hong Kong (HKU) is aware of recent social media posts claiming that it is possible to apply to HKU through an agent, with promises of low entrance requirements and direct admission without standard grades, IELTS or TOEFL scores, undergraduate backgrounds, or other requirements. These claims are totally unfounded and the University reserves the right to pursue legal action against those responsible.
HKU does not authorise any intermediary organisations to recruit or admit students in Mainland China, nor does it have a so-called "internal recommendation" mechanism for professors to recommend non-local students for admission. Non-local applicants interested in applying to HKU must directly submit their applications to the University, and only eligible applicants who meet the necessary requirements will be considered for admission. Admissions are competitive and on merit basis.
If students are found to have falsified their academic credentials, HKU will take disciplinary action against them in accordance with University Statutes to revoke their student status.
