Subjects from category B (applied learning subjects) cannot be used for admission.


Minimum grades and prerequisites

The minimum requirements are the four core subjects (Chinese Language, English, Mathematics and Liberal Studies), as well as two or three elective subjects from category A (academic subject) or category C (foreign languages).
