HKUST participates in Hong Kong’s Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS). Through JUPAS, HKUST admits local students taking the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) examination. Eligible local HKDSE students interested in studying at HKUST should submit their applications to JUPAS in accordance with the relevant timeline.
Non-local HKDSE students should submit their applications through our Online Application System as students with International Qualifications.
2023 Entry Requirements
JUPAS applicants applying to HKUST are expected to satisfy the University’s minimum admission requirement of a score of 3322+33 (Level 3 in English Language and Chinese Language; Level 2 in Mathematics Compulsory and Liberal Studies; Level 3 in Elective 1; and Level 3 in Elective 2 or M1/M2) and specific requirements, if any, for subjects and attainment levels in particular subjects set out by individual Schools or programs.
Non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students may use an alternative Chinese subject, an HKDSE Other Language subject, or an HKDSE Applied Learning Chinese subject to satisfy the University’s Chinese language requirement. Further admission details for NCS students are available at the JUPAS website.
Each School/program uses a specific formula to calculate admission scores, based on the HKDSE scores of eligible JUPAS applicants. For 2023 Entry, the following conversion scale of subject levels/grades will be applied based on the HKDSE scores of eligible JUPAS applicants for calculation of admission scores.
Category A Core/Elective Subjects :
5** = 8.5 ; 5* = 7 ; 5 = 5.5 ; 4 = 4 ; 3 = 3 ; 2 = 2
Category C Other Language Subjects :
A = 7 ; B = 5.5 ; C = 4 ; D = 2.5 ; E = 1
If more than one admission score is available for an applicant based on this calculation, the best result will be considered. Interested students are encouraged to use the following JUPAS score calculator when considering HKUST. (Elective subject in the admission score formulae refers to Category A subjects, including Mathematics Extended Part Module 1 and Module 2.)
HKUST will continue to adopt flexible admissions arrangements for 2023 intake. The University will consider JUPAS applicants who:
- Perform well overall but miss the minimum entrance requirement of 3-3-2-2 by one level in one HKDSE core subject;
- Possess HKDSE score which is higher than 2022 HKUST JUPAS Admissions median score of the selected program(s); and
- Put the selected HKUST program(s) in Band A JUPAS choice.
