Undergraduate Programmes
If you are a student in a local school and wish to apply for admission on the strength of your HKCEE and HKALE qualifications, you should make your application through the Joint University Programmes Admission System (JUPAS) and refer to the JUPAS Guide for information on the JUPAS procedures.
You are required to satisfy the following University entrance requirements (reproduced from http://www.hku.hk/acad/ugp/reference_appendices.html):
| (I) | gain in his/her first and/or second attempt in the HKCEE | |
| (A) | Level 3 or above in English Language(2); | |
| (B) | Level 2 or above in Chinese Language(3); or Grade E in a language other than Chinese and English; | |
| (C) | Grade E or above in Mathematics; and | |
| (D) | Grade E or above in four other subjects(4); | |
| provided that achievements in any six of the subjects listed above are obtained at one and the same time; and | ||
| (II) | gain the following in HKALE | ||
| (A) | Grade D or above in AS Use of English; | ||
| (B) | Grade E or above in AS Chinese Language & Culture(5)(6); and | ||

| (ii) | Grade E or above in one AL subject, and in two AS subjects other than Use of English and Chinese Language & Culture; or | ||

For the purpose of calculation of admissions score, two AS subjects are normally regarded as equivalent to one AL subject, except for AS Liberal Studies which is weighted as equivalent to 0.6 of an AL subject.
Non-JUPAS applicants who are not applying on the strength of HKALE will be considered on an individual merit basis.
