General Entrance Requirements

Bachelor's Degree Programmes

Higher Diploma Programme

Remarks:

• "Attained with Distinction" in an Applied Learning subject (Category B) will be regarded as having met the requirement of an elective subject. “Attained with Distinction” / “Attained with Distinction (I)” are comparable to Level 3 while “Attained with Distinction (II)” is comparable to Level 4 of the Senior Secondary Subjects (Category A).


• "Attained" level will be regarded as a value-added factor to be considered in totality with the Student Learning Profile (SLP) for the purpose of admission.


• Other Language subjects (Category C) will be accepted as unspecified elective subjects. The minimum requirement is Grade E.


• For non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students who have met the specified circumstances as announced by the Education Bureau (EDB), the University accepts alternative qualifications in Chinese Language (only those under GCE, GCSE, IGCSE, and DSE Applied Learning Chinese (for NCS students)) for the purpose of meeting the minimum entrance requirements. For programmes which require students to have possessed a good command of Chinese including BEd (Chinese Language),BEd (Chinese History) and BA in Language Studies (Chinese major), waiver of the DSE Chinese Language requirement will not be granted.

• Extended Part in Mathematics (M1/M2) will be counted as elective subjects for the purpose of meeting the General Entrance Requirements with effect from 2020/21, but cannot be used as a substitute for the Mathematics Compulsory Part. In case applicants have taken both M1 and M2, only the module with best result will be taken into consideration.
