The fifth year of study for local students of this double-degree programme is on a self-financing basis, and the fees are therefore higher in the fifth year than the usual undergraduate fees applicable to Government-funded programmes. Students in need of financial assistance can apply for scholarships (https://aas.hku.hk/apply-scholarships) at the University, and/or financial assistance under the Government Financial Assistance Scheme and Non-means-tested Loan Scheme (https://www.wfsfaa.gov.hk/en/sfo/index.htm).
