JUPAS (HKDSE) Applicants (2027 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)

Remarks:

• Mathematics extended modules (M1/M2) cannot be used to meet the Mathematics requirement.
• Unspecified electives may include Category A elective subjects, Mathematics extended modules (M1 / M2) and Category C other language subjects. If students take both M1 and M2, they are counted as one subject only. Applied Learning (ApL) subjects are not counted as elective subjects, unless otherwise specified.
• Past results of Liberal Studies (Level 2 or above) are accepted for meeting the Citizenship and Social Development subject requirement in the General Entrance Requirements.
• Yet, results obtained in HKDSE Liberal Studies or HKDSE Citizenship and Social Development are not counted in the admission score calculation.
