No, you can only apply either through the JUPAS or the Non-JUPAS route, but not both.

Hong Kong permanent residents who are currently studying/residing overseas or attending high school in an international school in Hong Kong are considered as local applicants and should submit their applications via the Non-JUPAS route.

Holding a Hong Kong identity card (not a permanent one) does not mean that you are a local applicant. If you hold one of the following documents issued by the Immigration Department of the HKSAR, you are regarded as a non-local applicant for the purpose of admission to our programmes:

• student visa / entry permit; or
• visa / entry permit under the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG); or
• dependent visa / entry permit (You were 18 years old or above when you were issued with such visa / entry permit by the Immigration Department of the HKSAR.)

When you submit an application, you are required to indicate clearly which document you are holding for study. As local and non-local applicants are considered under different admission schemes, you may be asked to provide a copy of your passport/visa to support your application during the admission process. 

If the documents produced do not correspond to your local / non-local status entered in the application form, any offers made to you may be revoked and all fees paid will not be refunded. It is always your responsibility to inform the University about the change of your condition of stay by providing relevant documentary proof to us as soon as possible.

Local and non-local applicants are considered under different admission schemes. If your status changes from non-local to local, or vice versa, after submitting your application, any offer made under the original admissions scheme may be withdrawn. Your application will then be reassessed and considered competitively with other eligible applicants under the relevant admissions scheme. Any fees paid are non-refundable.

No. The Hong Kong Government announced on 31 July 2025 regarding the revised eligibility criteria for government-subsidised post-secondary student places and subsidies, two tuition fee categories have been introduced:

Application fee is charged based on an applicant’s local or non-local status. After completing the personal particulars section of the online application form, applicants will be informed whether they are classified as a local applicant or a non-local applicant for admissions purposes.
