Please note that the TOEFL / IELTS score is one of the most important assessment criteria. If students are not able to provide the related result, they may have a disadvantage during the exchange placement.

If your existing proof is valid until the HKUWW application deadline, you may submit the proof as a supporting document. Please arrange to retake the language test in due course for the application to the host institution. Given the limited available timeslots for IELTS or TOEFL tests, you should schedule to take/re-take the test as soon as possible.

If you do not have one, please upload proof showing that you have already registered for the test or a statement that you do not have the result and with the date that you expect the result to be released. Submit your official test report to our office as soon as possible is important.

English proficiency proof is required for all applications. If you graduated from an international school or overseas high school, you may submit IB / SAT / GCSE or other related international qualifications. Subject to the respective host institution’s recognition, students may sometimes be required to submit IELTS / TOEFL results as the host institution’s application.
