The Postgraduate Diploma, commonly referred to as a “研究生文凭” in Mainland China, is a qualification awarded by higher education institutions in former Commonwealth countries or regions (such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Ireland, and Hong Kong SAR). It represents a higher level of study pursued after obtaining a bachelor's degree.

Generally speaking, Master's degree programmes emphasize academic scholarship, while Postgraduate Diploma programmes focus on developing professional application skills. Postgraduate Diplomas carry academic credits, and holders may apply for credit exemptions when enrolling in programmes in other countries or regions (if applicable). However, the extent of credit exemption depends on various factors and is ultimately determined by the university offering the programme.

Postgraduate programmes require students from outside Hong Kong to apply for a study visa before the course starts. For full details, please visit the Study Visa page. For details about the possibility to stay and work in Hong Kong after graduating from a full-time postgraduate programme, please visit the IANG Visa page.

Special Announcement:

12 month full-time study in Hong Kong to get your “Postgraduate Diploma in Bank and Insurance Compliance” award within the HKU system through HKU SPACE. 

Applicants with other English-language qualifications may also be eligible for admission. Please contact the programme team for advice.
