Programme Transfer

Students may change from their current programme of study to another of the same level. If approved, the change will take effect from the following semester/year. According to the Academic Regulations for Master's Degrees, a student's previous period of study before the programme transfer comes into effect will be counted in the calculation of the student's maximum period of study.

How to Apply

Applications for programme transfer are processed twice a year, normally in early November (for transfer to be effective in Semester B of the current academic year) and early March (for transfer to be effective in Semester A of the next academic year). 

The application period for programme transfers to be effective in Semester A 2025/26 is between 3 March 2025 (Monday) and 21 March 2025 (Friday). Students who wish to transfer to another programme may complete the application form downloadable here and apply by post or in person at the SGS Service Counter (click here for location and opening hours), together with the required fees payment.

For non-local students, any transfer of programme approved by the University would be sent to the Immigration Department of the HKSAR for final endorsement before the transfer or the change comes into effect.

Fees Chargeable

The application fee for each programme transfer application is HK$100 (non-refundable).
