Annual update of aggregate list of eligible universities under TTPS
*******************************************************************
The TTPS aims to attract talent in the following three categories:
- Category A: persons with annual income reaching HK$2.5 million or above in the year immediately preceding the date of application;
- Category B: full-time bachelor's degree graduates of the universities/institutions prescribed in the aggregate list (eligible universities/institutions) with at least three years of work experience over the past five years immediately preceding the date of application; or
- Category C: full-time bachelor's degree graduates of eligible universities/institutions in the past five years immediately preceding the date of application with less than three years of work experience.
Upon the launch of the TTPS last year, the aggregate list comprised the top 100 universities/institutions in four world university rankings (namely the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings, the U.S. News and World Report's Best Global Universities Rankings and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities) in the past five years as at 2022. This round of updates to the aggregate list reflects the changes to the relevant world university rankings in 2023.
The updated aggregate list consisting of 185 universities/institutions (see Annex) will be uploaded onto the online platform of Hong Kong Talent Engage (www.hkengage.gov.hk) and the TTPS webpage of the Immigration Department (www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/TTPS.html) on January 1, 2024.
