“PolyU JUPAS Consultation Day 2024” coming soon, offering latest information on programmes and mock admission interviews for the first time

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is holding the “PolyU JUPAS Consultation Day 2024” on 18 May 2024 (Saturday) from 10am to 1pm. Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS) applicants will be able to obtain the latest updates on PolyU programmes during the event, enabling them to re-evaluate and finalise their programme choices by late-July. Registration for the Consultation Day is now open at https://www.polyu.edu.hk/conday.

This year, PolyU will, for the first time, introduce mock admission interviews. Professors from different faculties will conduct individual or group mock interviews with participants and provide them with valuable post-interview feedback. About 70 mock interview sessions will be conducted, covering all programmes that will arrange interviews for JUPAS applicants. Places are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Among other engaging activities on the Consultation Day, the Academic Registry will host a thematic seminar on “admissions strategies and interview skills” to introduce the latest admissions arrangements, while PolyU student ambassadors from each faculty and school will share their interview experiences and useful tips for programme selection. Academic units will organise programme information seminars, consultation counters and guided tours to campus facilities, while an AI-powered information kiosk will be in place on campus to deliver admission information, allowing participants to learn about the entrance requirements, score calculation, curricula and features of their preferred disciplines/programmes. At the same time, participants will also have a chance to experience PolyU’s vibrant learning atmosphere.

In the 2024/25 academic year, PolyU will further enhance some of its departmental scheme-based admissions programmes to address societal needs. Two new programmes, namely BSc (Hons) Scheme in Food Safety and Technology and BSc (Hons) in Urban Informatics and Smart Cities, will also be launched. Meanwhile, the University will continue to adopt flexible arrangements with regard to the minimum entrance requirements for JUPAS applicants. Applicants who fall slightly short of the general entrance requirements for degree programmes, i.e. “3-3-2-A-3-3” (level 3 in both languages, level 2 in Mathematics, “Attained” in Citizenship and Social Development, together with level 3 in two additional electives) will be given special consideration for admission under specific conditions. More details will be announced later on the Study@PolyU website (https://www.polyu.edu.hk/study).
