Remarks:

 

(i)              The admission score is calculated by the best 6 subjects (including English and Mathematics) without weighting (If the student has attempted the subject more than once, the best result of the subject will be used for score calculation). “Other languages” at grade E or above and Mathematics extended modules (M1/M2) are counted as elective subjects. If students take both M1 and M2, they will be counted as one subject.

 

(ii)             The scoring scale is given in the tables below:

(iii)            JUPAS entrants are allowed to hold Institutional/Dean’s Scholarships and The Department of Accountancy Undergraduate Entrance Scholarships for JUPAS Entrants concurrently.

 

(iv)           With an objective to nurture our students and to promote caring culture, the Community Relations Committee of the University Council has recommended that each award recipient is expected to make an annual donation of at least HK$200 to City University of Hong Kong for student support via CityU Alumni Giving Club when they are in employment after graduation.  This term has been incorporated into all scholarship/prize/award/bursary schemes, whether they are donated by external donors or contributed by University funding, with effect from February 2008.
