Credit Transfer
Guidelines on Entry Credit Transfer
Students who hold A-Level or IB Diploma qualifications and were admitted from 2025/26 onwards may be given credit transfer upon admission to the 4-year full-time undergraduate degree 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. If they have completed the relevant subjects with the grades specified in the table below, they may also be given credit transfer for AP/AMA subjects.
