Applicants who are not subject to this English language requirement are strongly encouraged to provide their results in the English subject in their most recent public examination (such as HKALE, GCE (A Levels), SAT 1 (Verbal), TOEFL or IELTS etc) for our reference. Applicants who feel that their grade does not accurately reflect their standard of English may consider taking TOEFL / IELTS to prove their English proficiency.
