For most courses the HKU has a restricted intake. Admission to the various programmes is based on a selection procedure (portfolio, audition, tape or video), intended to offer the school insight into the student’s artistic qualities and level. For the Art and Economics courses at bachelor level, intake is determined by a lottery system.
