PolyU Info Day for Undergraduate Admissions attracts over 43,000 visitors

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) today held its Information Day for Undergraduate Admissions (Info Day). PolyU President Prof. Jin-Guang TENG; Deputy President and Provost Prof. Wing-tak WONG; Designated Senior Vice President (Research and Innovation) Prof. Christopher CHAO; Vice President (Education) Prof. CAO Jiannong; and Vice President (Student and Global Affairs) Prof. Ben YOUNG attended the opening ceremony alongside other senior management team members, deans and representatives from faculties and schools, before visiting booths set up by faculties, schools and departments. The Info Day attracted over 43,000 secondary school students, parents and individuals interested in pursuing further studies and in learning about the University’s latest admissions and programme information.

This year’s Info Day, themed “Innovation and Diversity”, featured over 250 exciting activities, including admissions talks hosted by the Academic Registry that covered admissions information related to JUPAS, non-JUPAS (non-local qualifications), Senior Year admission (Associate Degree or Higher Diploma qualifications) and National College Entrance Examinations (Gaokao). There were also programme consultations organised by faculties, schools and departments, guided tours of the University’s laboratories and facilities, student sharing sessions and workshops. The event attracted many prospective students and their parents to come and explore PolyU’s diverse range of programme options and vibrant campus life.

PolyU has adopted a flexible undergraduate admissions strategy, offering students more adaptable programme options and launching programmes across various emerging fields to better meet society’s talent needs. In the 2026/27 academic year, the Faculty of Engineering will launch the BSc (Hons) in Sports Science and Technology, and the Faculty of Humanities will launch the BSc (Hons) in Language Science and Technology. Students can also tailor their study paths to better suit their personal interests. Those with clear academic goals can choose their preferred departmental schemes or programmes directly, while others wishing to further explore their options can enrol on one of the bachelor’s degree schemes to gain a better understanding of the different majors within a faculty/school before making their choice of study path. Students admitted to the Bachelor’s Degree Scheme in Interdisciplinary Studies will be able to explore programmes from different faculties/schools before deciding on their majors, allowing for more self-directed and flexible learning.

To foster students’ global perspective, PolyU will continue to offer an additional HK$30,000 overseas exchange funding to all undergraduate students who receive an academic Entry Scholarship, supporting their participation in student exchange programmes. The University’s goal is for all undergraduates to engage in at least one non-local learning experience by the 2027/28 academic year.
