Direct (Non-JUPAS) Admission Scheme
 
Applicants applying via the Direct (Non-JUPAS) Admission Scheme for 2012 entry will be considered for admission to the 3-year curriculum programmes only (unless specified).
 
Both local and non-local applicants who are applying for admission on the basis of qualifications other than Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE) or Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) or National Joint College Entrance Examination (JEE) results sought in the year of admission.
 
Hong Kong permanent citizens are regarded as local applicants, even if they are currently residing or studying overseas. For example, Hong Kong citizens studying in UK and taking GCE AL examinations are regarded as local applicants. Alternatively, Hong Kong citizens studying in international schools in Hong Kong are also regarded as local applicants.
 
Non-local applicants are persons entering Hong Kong for the purpose of education with a student visa/entry permit issued by the Director of Immigration. *Students on work visas/under IANG and persons on dependent visas are considered as "non-local" (*subject to confirmation).
 
Citizens of the Chinese Mainland entering Hong Kong for the purpose of education with a visa/entry permit issued by the Director of Immigration should follow either one of the routes for admission as stated below:
 
1.  Applicants who DO NOT sit for the 2012 National Joint College Entrance Examination (JEE) or who want to apply on the strength of other qualifications (apart from JEE/HKALE/HKDSE) should apply through the Direct (Non-JUPAS) Admission Scheme;
   
2.  Applicants attending the 2012 JEE should apply for admission via the University's Admission Scheme for Mainland Students. Relevant details can be found at

The application period is from 21 November 2011 (Mon) to 18 January 2012 (Wed). There is only one intake each year, i.e. Fall Intake, and late applications are NOT acceptable. Each applicant is allowed to submit ONE application with a maximum of two programme choices.

Who should apply through JUPAS?
 
The Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS) is designed to assist students with HKALE/HKDSE results (past and/or current) to apply for admission to undergraduate degree programmes offered by the nine JUPAS participating institutions. Applications should be made through JUPAS if the applicants are:
Secondary 6 students in local schools sitting for the HKDSE in 2012; or
Secondary 7 students in local schools sitting for the HKALE in 2012; or
Non-school applicants seeking admission on the strength of HKALE/HKDSE results taken in 2012 or before.
Please note that none of the applications will be considered if applicants apply via both JUPAS and Non-JUPAS schemes.
