JUPAS (HKDSE) Applicants (2025 Entry)

Minimum Entrance Requirements

For admission to bachelor’s degree programmes at the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS), applicants must meet the General Entrance Requirements AND the department requirements (if applicable). The levels/grades indicated below are the minimum acceptable but possession of the qualifications in no way guarantees acceptance.

• Level 3 in Chinese Language and English Language; and
• Level 2 in Mathematics^#; and
• Attained in Citizenship and Social Development; and
• Level 3 in TWO elective subjects* (excluding Applied Learning subjects)

^# Mathematics extended modules (M1/M2) cannot be used to meet the Mathematics requirement.

* Mathematics extended modules (M1/M2) and “other languages” (at grade E or above) can be used to meet the elective requirement. If students take both M1 and M2, they are counted as one subject only.

Assessment of JUPAS (HKDSE) Applications

For applicants who have fulfilled the minimum entrance requirements, various types of admission score are calculated to facilitate selection of applicants for admission. Presented below are the main admission scores used by individual programmes. Concurrent consideration may be given to other factors, such as band choice and interview performance. For applicants with the same scores or score ranges, reference will be made to other information ​(e.g. other admission scores, relevant subjects, band choices, interview performance). For details, please refer to ​"Other Considerations" ​for individual programmes.

Remarks:

• Besides Category A elective subjects, Mathematics extended modules (M1/M2) and Category C other language subjects (at grade E or above) can be used to meet the elective requirement. If students take both M1 and M2, the two modules are counted as one subject only.
• Applied Learning subjects are not counted as elective subjects.
• As a guide for applicants, a minimum score of 21 (aggregate scores for four core + two elective subjects without weightings applied) is normally expected for successful admission, based on past data.

Note: The assessment criteria are subject to ongoing review. The College and the departments reserve the right to amend the information from time to time.
