JUPAS Applicants
HKDSE students will apply for admission to the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. They will not select a major until after one year of study. During their first year, students study core-curricular courses designed by the College in addition to Gateway Education (GE) courses. At the end of the first year, the top 20% of students [based on (i) completion of at least 30 credit units in Semesters A and B; (ii) no failed grades in any courses in Semesters A and B; and (iii) cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at the end of Semester B] will have free choice of the majors offered by the College. The other 80% of students will be allocated to a major of their choice, subject to the availability of places and the selection criteria set by the College.
Direct/Non-JUPAS Applicants
Applicants holding a 12-year school-leaving qualification or an incomplete sub-degree qualification are generally admitted to the College and may select their major after one year of study. At the end of the first year, the top 20% of students [based on (i) completion of at least 30 credit units in Semesters A and B; (ii) no failed grades in any courses in Semesters A and B; and (iii) cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at the end of Semester B] will have free choice of the majors offered by the College.

Applicants holding a 13-year school-leaving qualification such as an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, a Hong Kong Advanced Level (HKAL) or a General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (GCEAL) qualification may apply for admission to a major/programme directly and receive Advanced Standing I.
