• Applicants with a degree who have studied Accounting, Economics, Information Systems Management, Management, and Statistics from a bachelor degree programme in a recognized tertiary institution are considered “business degree holders”.
• Applicants bear the responsibility to confirm with the HKICPA that their bachelor degrees are recognized in meeting the student registration requirements of the HKICPA QP before applying for admission to the PGDA programme.
