It is a matter of discretion for individual employers, organisations, or educational institutions to recognise or accept the non-local qualifications of candidates for employment, registration or study purposes. The Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) is a statutory body established under the HKCAAVQ Ordinance (Chapter 1150). One of HKCAAVQ’s services is to provide a professional assessment service (“the Assessment”) to individuals possessing educational qualifications awarded by granting body/bodies outside Hong Kong. Each application is assessed independently on the basis of the totality of the applicant’s educational qualifications obtained upon the completion of educational programmes. The assessment is focused on the integrated learning outcomes of the qualification including those learning outcomes achieved through learning deemed to have a substantial bearing on the qualification under assessment. The outcome of the assessment is a professional opinion on whether the totality of his/her educational qualification(s) meets the standard of a particular qualification in Hong Kong.
To promote co-operation between the Mainland and Hong Kong in education and exchange of students, a Memorandum of Understanding between the Mainland and Hong Kong on Mutual Recognition of Academic Degrees in Higher Education (MoU) was signed between the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China and the Education Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in July 2004. The MoU facilitates the mutual recognition of academic qualifications awarded in both places for the purpose of further studies in recognised Mainland and Hong Kong higher education institutions with powers to award degrees at Bachelor's level or above. The MoU is the only Memorandum covering mutual recognition of academic degrees in higher education that has been signed by Hong Kong and another place so far. For more details, please refer to the list of Mainland higher education institutions recognised by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China.
- For students who return to Hong Kong to continue their studies with overseas qualifications, please check with individual tertiary institutions for the recognition of academic qualifications.
