OEA is one of the factors in addition to the achievements at the HKDSE Examination which the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions (the Institutions) will consider.
The main objective of SPN is to give due recognition to applicants who have contributed to social services or made outstanding achievements in non-academic areas such as creative activities, art, community services, leadership abilities, music, other cultural activities and sports.
MES supports universities and tertiary institutions in admitting around 40 local undergraduate students per cohort who excel in sports, arts and/or community service.
OSRS aims to provide opportunities for outstanding student-athletes to study at PolyU while continuing their pursuit of excellence in sports. Those who have participated in major international competitions, or are members of Hong Kong SAR Team/Junior Team, are welcome to apply for admission to PolyU through this scheme.
Over the years, PolyU has been committed to promoting a sports culture on campus, and providing various flexible admission schemes and all-round support to student-athletes to help them excel in both studies and sports profession. To take a step further, PolyU has joined the Student-Athlete Learning Support and Admission Scheme (SALSA) initiated by the UGC.
Proposed by the Task Force on Review of School Curriculum set up by the Education Bureau (EDB), SNDAS aims at recognising the exceptional talent of students in specific disciplines that may not be fully assessed by the HKDSE Examination. It will provide opportunities for these students to be considered for direct admission to local universities.
