01. What is the difference between JUPAS and Non-JUPAS?
If you are seeking admission on the strength of HKDSE results (current or past years), you should follow the application procedures under JUPAS (Joint University Programmes Admissions System). Otherwise you should submit application direct to the Institute via the direct application (Non-JUPAS) route.
|
|
|
02. Can I apply via both JUPAS and Non-JUPAS routes?
No, you can only apply either through JUPAS or Non-JUPAS route, but not both.

03. What are the General Entrance Requirements of your full-time undergraduate programmes?
For admission to our full-time undergraduate programmes, JUPAS applicants should normally possess the following qualifications:
Four core subjects and one elective subject with:
- Level 3 or above in Chinese Language and EnglishLanguage; and
- Level 2 or above in Mathematics, Liberal Studies, and one elective subject.

04. How will the Institute consider the Extended Part of Maths and the Compulsory Part of Maths?
The Compulsory Part of Maths is a core subject requirement.

(i.e. either Module 1 – Calculus and Statistics; or Module 2 – Algebra and Calculus). However, you cannot use it as a substitute for the Compulsory Maths, nor can it be counted as an elective subject for the purpose of meeting the General Entrance Requirements.
|
|
|
05. Will the Institute consider Applied Learning (ApL) subjects?
Yes, "Attained with Distinction" in an ApL subject will be regarded as having met the requirement of an elective subject.

One only. The Institute will consider the result of the best ApL subject, irrespective of the number of ApL subjects taken by a JUPAS applicant.

Yes, Grade E or above in an ‘Other Language’ subject will be accepted as unspecified elective subject.

For the purpose of meeting our General Entrance Requirements for JUPAS students, the Institute only accepts results in HKDSE English Language.
|
|

The Institute will only consider the best results of one elective subject. No bonus point will be given to students taking two or more elective subjects.
|
|
|

The assessment weighting varies with programmes on the basis of individual programme needs.

13. I am applying as a JUPAS applicant. Do I need to attend admission interviews?

They will be treated as supplementary information. For instance, the information given in school reference report and/or OEA form may be used, alongside other essential information (e.g. band choices) for selecting students for admission interviews.
|
|
|
15. Do I have to put my chosen programme(s) as my Band A choices to enhance the chance of interview?
We believe that applicants who include our programmes as Band A choices are highly likely to have genuine interest in these programmes. Band A applicants will be given higher preferences in the selection process.
