    General Entrance Requirements of Universities

    大學收生一般入學條件

    In general, the universities’ minimum entrance requirements are set at the level of 3322 in the four

    core subjects (i.e. Level 3 in Chinese Language and English Language and Level 2 in Mathematics and

    Liberal Studies), plus Level 2 or 3 in one/two elective(s).

    Institutions may set additional faculty/programme requirements in consideration of the specific

    nature and needs of the programmes, including the number of electives and the required results.

    For more details of the admission requirements of institutions/programmes, please visit the

    websites of respective institutions.

    The 4 core subjects + 1 or 2 elective subject(s) are just the minimum requirements and do not

    guarantee entrance to a particular university or programme. Universities would conduct further

    selection on those applicants who satisfied the minimum requirements. The actual selection for

    admission would be on a competitive basis.

    The 4 cores + 1 or 2 elective(s) are just the minimum requirements and do not guarantee entrance

    to a particular university or programme. Universities would conduct further selection on those

    applicants who satisfied the minimum requirements. The actual selection for admission would be

    on a competitive basis, and the number of electives taken and the performance in each of the

    electives are likely to be factors to be considered by most of the university programmes.

    一般而言,大學的最低入學要求包括在四個核心科目 達「3322」的成績,即在中國語文科和

    英國語文科達 到第 3 級、數學科和通識教育科達到第 2 級;以及在一個或兩個選修科目達

    到第 2 級或 3 級成績。

    各院校亦可因應課程的特質和需要,自行制訂學院/課程的入學要求,包括選修科目的總數

    及所需成績。有關各所院校/課程入學要求的最新詳情,請參閱各院校網頁。

    四個核心科目及一個或兩個選修科目只是最低的入學要求,並不保證申請人能入讀個別大學

    或課程。大學會遴選符合最低入學要求的申請人。實際的遴選過程會採用篩選的方式進行。
