What is the format of the interview in Hong Kong?

You will have two interviews, each lasting around 30 to 45 minutes.

College interviews are predominantly academic and subject-related. One or two interviewers will be specialists in the subject you have applied for.  There may be another interviewer not directly related to your subject.

Scholarship interviews are also subject-based,  but there may be more questions of a general nature.

A reasonable standard of spoken English is required at the interviews.
