Selection Criteria
We adopt a holistic approach in the assessment of applicants' suitability for teacher education and other complementary discipline programmes. In selecting students for our full-time undergraduate and higher diploma programmes, we take into account their public examination results, band choices, non-academic achievements, school principal's recommendations and interview performance etc. For entry to the specific programmes like Chinese, English, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education and Visual Arts, applicants have to demonstrate a required level of competence in the subject area.
Students nominated under the JUPAS School Principal's Nominations Scheme (SPN) and the University's Undergraduate Programme Nominations Scheme / Self-Nomination Admissions Scheme will be considered favourably with good school reference reports and interview performance.
