Entry tougher at HK universities

Hong Kong universities have raised the bar for Chinese mainland students due to the increasing number of applications.

The comparatively low cost of tuition and living expenses and the world-recognized quality in higher education in Hong Kong attract mainland students to pursue higher education there.

Since the mainland and Hong Kong agreed to recognize each other's higher education degrees in 2004, Hong Kong has become a hot destination for mainland students to experience "international" education.
