PolyU Info Day for Undergraduate Admissions to be held on 10 October, featuring over 250 activities on undergraduate programmes and the latest admissions information
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) will hold its Information Day for Undergraduate Admissions (Info Day) on Saturday, 10 October. The event will feature a series of engaging activities to provide prospective students and parents with information on PolyU’s undergraduate programmes and the latest admissions arrangements, while showcasing how the University nurtures future talent through innovative education and a vibrant campus life.
More than 250 activities will be featured across the campus during the event, including a series of admission talks hosted by the Student Admissions and Scholarships Office, covering the latest application procedures and requirements for candidates applying via JUPAS, non-JUPAS (non-local qualifications), Senior Year admission (Associate Degree or Higher Diploma qualifications) and National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao). Meanwhile, faculties, schools and departments will organise programme seminars and consultation sessions. To gain a more in-depth understanding of the University’s learning environment and its distinctive features, visitors can also join alumni and student sharing sessions, workshops, exhibitions and guided tours of PolyU’s teaching facilities and laboratories.
In response to new opportunities and challenges arising from the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and global societal transformation, the University is actively advancing the PolyU Education 4.0 initiative. Adopting a student-centred approach, the initiative integrates AI, interdisciplinary learning, experiential education and international perspectives, striving to nurture future leaders with innovative mindsets, digital literacy, professional expertise and a strong sense of social responsibility. Through flexible and diverse curriculum design, students not only acquire professional skills but also develop complex problem-solving abilities and lifelong learning capabilities to thrive in an ever-changing world.
To cater to diverse learning aspirations, PolyU offers a range of undergraduate admission and study pathways. Students with a clear interest in a particular professional field can apply directly for their preferred departmental schemes or programmes. Those who wish to explore a broader range of fields before deciding on a major aligned with their interests and career aspirations can opt for faculty-based bachelor’s degree schemes.
In the 2027/28 academic year, the Faculty of Science will restructure its current BSc (Hons) Scheme in Biotechnology and Chemical Technology into two distinct programmes: BSc (Hons) in Applied Biology with Biotechnology and BSc (Hons) in Chemical Technology. This change will enable students to pursue a more focused area of study aligned with their interests and career aspirations, while developing professional competencies to meet future development needs.
PolyU also strives to provide a holistic learning experience that fosters students’ global perspectives. The University will continue to offer undergraduate students who receive an academic Entry Scholarship an additional HK$30,000 overseas exchange funding to support their participation in student exchange programmes. PolyU has also set a target that all undergraduates graduating in or after the 2027/28 academic year undertake at least one non-local learning experience during their studies.
