(The grades indicated below represent the minimum acceptable but possession of the qualification in no way guarantees acceptance.)

For admission to a bachelor’s degree programme, an applicant must satisfy ONE of the following:

1.   Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE)

      (a)     grade E or above in two A-level subjects, OR grade E or above in one A-level subject and two AS-level subjects (other than Use of English and Chinese Language and Culture); AND

      (b)     grade E or above in AS-level Use of English, or A-level Literature in English*; AND

2.   Other Qualifications

      Other qualifications may include an academic qualification from a local post-secondary institution or a professional qualification acceptable to the University. Qualifications attained by study at a local international school such as GCE Advanced Level or an International Baccalaureate Diploma are also accepted as satisfying the General Entrance Requirements.

      For non-local qualifications, most school-leaving qualifications acceptable for university entry are recognised. However, applicants from some countries may be required to supplement their studies with a foundation year study.

      Applicants whose entrance qualification is obtained in a language other than English will need an acceptable result in an approved English language qualification such as TOEFL or IELTS.

3.   Mature Applicants

      Mature applicants are eligible to apply for given programmes notwithstanding that they do not satisfy the requirements in (1) or (2) above. Mature applicants must be over the age of 25 by 1 September of the year of admission and be able to demonstrate aptitude and suitability for the programme.
