1.   Is GMAT compulsory?

The GMAT is only required if applicants have insufficient quantitative background.  For applicants whose prior education is in business, economics, finance, or commerce, the GMAT is usually not required.  However, for applicants with a pure liberal arts background, such as literature, politics, etc., GMAT is usually required. If you are in doubt, you can send your CV to us at gfin@ust.hk and we will advise you accordingly.

TOEFL / IELTS is only required if English was not your first language and not the medium of instruction of your degree or equivalent qualification.  In either case, you will need to achieve a paper-based test score of at least 550; or an Internet-based test score of at least 80 on the TOEFL; or an overall score of 6.0 with no sub-score lower than 5.5 on the IELTS.
