PolyU adopts departmental scheme-based admission in order to provide a broader educational base and a more flexible progression pathway for students, as well as a more agile mechanism to meet changing societal manpower needs. These changes will provide greater flexibility for students in their choice of degree programmes and specialisations.

A Secondary Major features an expanded area of studies in addition to an existing major, i.e. the Block X, forming an additional award option of "A Major plus a Secondary Major", i.e. "X + Scheme". Two Secondary Majors available for students to choose are "Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics (AIDA)" and "Innovation and Entrepreneurship (IE)".

For JUPAS applicants, only HKDSE subject attainments would be included in the admission score calculation. Attainments in other public examinations would be taken as reference only.

To support the all-round development of students, applicants with very outstanding performance in their other experiences and achievements (e.g. with awards / prizes attained in prominent competitions) will be favourably considered for admission if they have chosen PolyU scheme(s) / programme(s) as their Band A choice(s) and meet the general entrance requirements of the University. For other students, their Other Learning Experiences (OLE) information may be used by departments as one of the references for shortlisting applicants for admission or interview / aptitude test.

Departments would consider information available in the JUPAS application form such as information provided by school principals in the Reference Report, academic performance of applicants in school, applicants’ band choice, other experiences & achievements (OEA) and additional information provided by the applicants.

Submission of Student Learning Profile (SLP) is optional. Applicants may submit it to the JUPAS Office or present their Student Learning Profile (SLP) during interview.

Some schemes / programmes may conduct their own aptitude tests to ascertain applicants’ specific aptitudes / competencies for particular disciplines.

PolyU all along considers multiple attempts without penalty. Similar subjects will be considered once and the best grade will be taken into consideration during admission selection.

The study places offered by PolyU through JUPAS are intended primarily for admission of local school leavers. Applicants who are studying a programme or have attained qualifications at the same or above level as the schemes / programmes for which they are applying will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Please note that local and non-local applicants are considered under different admission routes with different intake quotas. Non-local applicants seeking admission on the basis of HKDSE results should submit their applications directly to PolyU. Please click here for details on the admission requirements for non-local applicants.

There is no fixed distribution of admission quotas between JUPAS and Non-JUPAS applicants. The distribution depends on the quality of eligible applicants.
