Bachelor of Science (Honours) Scheme in Biomedical Engineering

For IB/GCE/HKAL Students

BME will grant entry credit transfer of Discipline-Specific Requirements (DSR) credits to IB/GCE/HKAL students as follows:

From the 2022/23 intake cohort, students holding A-Level or IB qualifications may be given credit transfer upon their admission to the 4-year full-time undergraduate degree schemes / programmes. Normally, they will be given credit transfer from 9 credits (including 6 credits for the broadening subjects and 3 credits for University English under the Language & Communication Requirements) to a maximum of 25% of the award requirements, depending on their previous study and grade attainments.

For Senior Year Students

We provide a flexible curriculum for students admitted to the senior year of our 4-year full-time undergraduate degree schemes / programmes. These students will follow a reduced curriculum.

Students are also expected to meet the equivalent standard of the Undergraduate Degree Language and Communication Requirements (LCR). Students not meeting the equivalent standard of the LCR will be required to take degree LCR subjects.

BME will grant credit transfer of Discipline-Specific Requirements (DSR) credits to Senior Year students. The guidelines are as follows:

• Granting of credit transfer is mainly based on the subject contents and the learning outcomes attained. 
• The subject contents attained should be at least 75% similar to the PolyU subjects of a similar level, credits, and contact hours.
• The subject grade/mark achieved should be B / 75% or above.

The granting of credit transfer is a matter of academic judgement. Information stated above is for reference and subject to review and changes.
