^* Revised major title, subject to approval

Remarks:

Besides Category A elective subjects, Mathematics extended modules (M1/M2) (except for JS1801) and Category C other language subjects (at grade E or above) (except for JS1212, JS1213, JS1214, JS1215, JS1801, JS1805, JS1806 and JS1807) can be used to meet the elective requirement. If students take both M1 and M2, the two modules are counted as one subject only.
Applied Learning subjects are not counted as elective subjects, except for JS1041, JS1042, JS1043, JS1044, JS1805, JS1806 and JS1807. Click here for details.
When there are more than two elective subjects, the two elective subjects with the highest weighted scores are counted (except for JS1106 Department of Media and Communication which counts the five subjects with the highest weighted scores).
As a guide for applicants, a minimum score of 21 (aggregate scores for four core + two elective subjects without weightings applied) is normally expected for successful admission, based on past data.

Scoring Scale

Category A Core and Elective Subjects (including M1/M2)
Level	5**	5*	5	4	3	2	1
Score	7	6	5	4	3	2	1

Category C Other Language Subjects
Grade	A	B	C	D	E
Score	5	4	3	2	1

For JS1041, JS1042, JS1043, JS1044, JS1805, JS1806 and JS1807 programmes which recognise some Category B Applied Learning subjects as one elective, a score of ‘3’ (Attained with Distinction I) or ‘4’ (Attained with Distinction II) will be used in the score calculation.

Higher subject weightings are marked in red.
