The University of Hong Kong

Introduction

  1. The information contained here is based on the subject passes achieved by the applicants whose positions are in the 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th percentiles of the merit order lists of each of the programmes offered by the University, ranked on the basis of the calculation of 2 AL and 1 AS equivalent subjects, other than Use of English and Chinese Language and Culture.
  2. The HKALE and HKCEE grades shown may be obtained from more than one sitting.
  3. Applicants admitted under the following schemes have been excluded:
    1. JUPAS Sub-system for School Principalˇ¦s Nominations;
    2. JUPAS Sub-system for Applicants with a Disability; and
    3. Sports Scholarship Scheme.
  4. As admission is not necessarily on the basis of examination results alone and examination results of students admitted to each programme vary from year to year, the HKALE and HKCEE grades listed here are for reference only, and should not be used to predict the chance of admission to any programme in future years.
