Admission Grades

Selection Criteria
We adopt a holistic approach in the assessment of candidates' suitability for teacher education and other non-education discipline programmes. In selecting students for our full-time undergraduate and higher diploma programmes, we take into account their public examination results, non-academic achievements, school principal's recommendations and interview performance. For entry to the specific subjects like English, Music, PE and Visual Arts, candidates have to demonstrate a required level of competence in the subject area. For language programmes, candidates for English major studies should possess Grade D or above in ASL Use of English and candidates for Chinese major studies should possess Grade D or above in ASL Chinese Language and Culture.

AL Admission Scores
The AL Admission Scores shown below are the sum total of the best 2 AL subjects or 1 AL subject plus 2 ASL subjects (any ASL subjects including Use of English and Chinese Language and Culture). For the purpose of score calculation, subject grades are converted into numeric values (for AL subjects: A= 10, B= 8, C= 6, D= 4, E= 2; for ASL subjects: A= 5, B= 4, C= 3, D= 2, E= 1).

It is important to note that the admission scores announced here are for reference only. The examination results and admission interview results of students admitted to each programme vary from year to year and should not be used to predict the chance of admission in future years.
