Entrance Requirements

For admission to the government-funded Associate of Science programme offered by the Division of Building Science and Technology, applicants must meet the entrance requirements listed below. The levels/grades indicated are the minimum acceptable but possession of these qualifications in no way guarantees acceptance.

JUPAS Catalogue No. and Title	Minimum Level Required
	HKDSE English Language	HKDSE Chinese Language	Other HKDSE Subjects (including M1/M2)
JS1091 Division of Building Science and Technology (Options: ASc Building Services Engineering, ASc Construction Engineering and Management, ASc Surveying)	Level 2	Level 2	Level 2 in three other subjects (may include Attained with Distinction I or II in ApL `Environmental Engineering' or `Building Technology' as one subject)

Remarks:

1. Other HKDSE Subjects
• Chinese Language and English Language are excluded.
• Besides Category A elective subjects, Mathematics extended modules (M1/M2), Category C other language subjects (at grade E or above) and some Category B Applied Learning (ApL) subjects can be used to meet the requirement of “three other HKDSE subjects”. If students take both M1 and M2, the two modules are counted as one subject only.
• Students who plan to select Building Services Engineering OR Construction Engineering and Management of JS1091 are advised to study M1/M2, and preferably Physics, Combined Science (Physics and Biology) or Combined Science (Physics and Chemistry).
2. Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students

Applicants who have (i) learned Chinese Language for less than 6 years while receiving primary and secondary education or (ii) learned Chinese Language for 6 years or more in schools but have been taught an adapted and simpler Chinese Language curriculum not normally applicable to the majority of students in local schools, can use the following qualifications to replace HKDSE Chinese Language
level 2 to meet the Chinese language entrance requirement.

• HKDSE Applied Learning Chinese “Attained” or above
• GCEAL/AS Chinese Grade E or above
• GCSE/IGCSE Chinese Grade C / Grade 4 or above

HKDSE other language subjects cannot normally be used to meet the Chinese language entrance requirement. Whilst waivers may be granted at the discretion of the Division of Building Science and Technology, such measures are only taken under special circumstances on a case-by-case basis. Students are thus strongly advised to obtain the requisite Chinese qualifications.

For applicants who have fulfilled the minimum entrance requirements, various admission scores are adopted also to help screening the applicants.

Presented below is the main admission score used by the Division of Building Science and Technology.

For students with the same admission score, reference will be made to other information such as applicants’ band choice, interview performance, other admission scores, and/or application information where applicable.
