If you have obtained HKDSE results as well as other qualifications, either of which alone is sufficient to qualify you for consideration for admission to our schemes / programmes, you can apply either through JUPAS on the basis of HKDSE results or directly to PolyU on the basis of other qualifications. However, you can only choose to apply through one of these two routes for schemes / programmes offered under JUPAS in the same academic year. If you apply through JUPAS and to PolyU concurrently, your direct application to PolyU will NOT be considered. Please however observe UGC's guidelines on inter-institutional transfer of students irrespective of the routes you choose.

If you have obtained HKDSE results only, you should apply through JUPAS. Please refer to the JUPAS website for details.

Please click here for the definition of non-local applicants.

Local and non-local applicants are considered under different admission schemes. The levels of tuition fees for local and non-local students are also different for most schemes / programmes. If your status changes from non-local to local or vice versa after you have submitted your application, any offers made under the initial admissions scheme may be cancelled and your application will be considered in competition with other eligible applicants under the subsequent admissions scheme.

Those who have reached the age of 25 before 1 September in the year in which they seek admission are categorised as mature applicants automatically for consideration of Department. Mature applicants without the stipulated entrance qualifications may only be admitted on an individual and exceptional basis, and they must demonstrate sufficient motivation, knowledge and potential to indicate a high probability of being able to complete the scheme / programme successfully. It is not necessary for applicants to apply as a Mature Applicant. We will automatically take this into consideration.

Students who have been required to withdraw on grounds of academic failure or have been de-registered, and those who have discontinued their studies without completing the proper procedures for official withdrawal, shall not be considered for re-admission to the same scheme/programme/stream in the following academic year.

If you are admitted on the basis of IB or A-Level qualifications, you may be given a credit transfer from 9 credits to a maximum of 25% of the award requirements, depending on your previous study and grade attainments. If you are a holder of an Associate Degree/Higher Diploma and admitted to Year 1 study, you may be granted credit transfer up to a maximum of 25% of the credit requirements of our 4-year full-time undergraduate degree schemes / programmes.

Departments will consider if your previous studies are relevant to your chosen scheme / programme to decide if you will be granted credit transfer or exemption from some scheme / programme requirements. Each case will be considered on individual merits and you will be informed of the number of transferred credits given in the Notice of Offer.

If you are not given credit transfer at the admission stage, you may consider submitting an application for credit transfer after enrolment on the scheme / programme together with relevant supporting documents, e.g. transcript of study and subject syllabus to your scheme / programme offering departments before the end of the add/drop period of the first semester of your first year of study for departments’ consideration.

Repeating of government-funded study across institutions, irrespective of whether there is a change of programme or discipline, is generally discouraged, and only cases with very good reasons will be exceptionally considered on a case-by-case basis.

It is the University’s policy that new students will not be considered for transfer to another scheme / programme offered in the same mode of study during their first semester of registration.

If you are studying a government-funded scheme / programme of PolyU and wish to transfer to another PolyU government-funded scheme / programme of the same level of award, you should submit an application for transfer of study instead of a new application in the non-JUPAS application period. Current Higher Diploma students applying for degree level of study and have submitted an application via JUPAS are not allowed to submit a further application for transfer of study within PolyU.

PolyU supports the all-around development of students and gives due recognition to the non-academic achievements of applicants in the admission selection process. Applicants with outstanding non-academic achievements (e.g. with awards/prizes attained in prominent international competitions) will be favourably considered for admission in the selection process.

Applicants concerned should provide relevant information and documents in their applications within the application period and will only be considered by their first programme choice. We, however, still require applicants to be admitted on the basis of outstanding non-academic achievements to meet the minimum entrance requirements of the schemes / programmes before they are eligible for consideration.

No. The non-academic achievement section is optional.

To enable sportsmen to manage their participation in trainings, competitions and academic studies, the normal duration for completing the programmes for students admitted via Outstanding Sportsmen Recommendation Scheme (OSRS) will be automatically extended for two years with retroactive effect from the 2020/21 intake cohort.

Eligible OSRS candidates will be considered automatically by the Student-Athlete Learning Support and Admission (SALSA) Scheme. Holistic support services will also be provided to student-athletes throughout their study at PolyU, please refer to here for details.

Students who have demonstrated remarkable talents in sports, arts and culture, leadership and community services, and STEM will be considered under Special Talents Admission and Recognition Scheme (STARS). It aims to serve as an alternative admission route for those whose exceptional achievements cannot be fully reflected in their academic results. STARS applicants to PolyU's undergraduate programmes will be assessed based on the non-academic achievements, self-description and referees submitted in their applications.  Selection panels will assess these applications and will make result announcement from April onwards.
