Overview
Admission to all introductory courses is on the basis of academic record including a minimum Level 5 in English Language in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) examination, or an equivalent score in another recognized English proficiency test.
The indicative scores only serve as a reference. Non-JUPAS students (including those admitted via the School Nominations Direct Admission Scheme [SNDAS]) should submit a copy of your equivalent qualification(s), such as the IB Diploma, GCE-A Levels, SAT, IELTS, TOEFL, etc., to the School Office (via this form: https://hku.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aYpc9YyvM2uqBaC) for consideration two weeks before the course selection period.
Students who submitted their English proficiency test results will be asked to bring the original copy of their test score report to the School Office for certification.
Please note that students must come in person since the School Office would have to verify their identity.
* From 2025-26 onwards, the NJCEE (Gaokao) Foreign Language Test and the Duolingo English Test will no longer be accepted. Students who wish to enroll in ENGL courses should take IELTS or an equivalent international standardized test of English language proficiency as soon as they can.
