Simple and flexible
Students who wish to take any of the Science majors only need to put 6901 Bachelor of Science in their application. Once you are admitted into the programme, you may take a range of subjects in Science before making a decision and declare the major at the end of first year. The policy also allows you to change your major any time during your study, as long as you can fulfill the course requirements of the major.

No quota for each major
There is no quota for any of the Science majors, and students may choose freely their major of study. Some majors may require you to have taken certain science subjects in secondary schools. Students who do not have the required background may need to take certain bridging courses before they can follow the major.

The new 334 academic structure in Hong Kong
The new 334 academics structure of Hong Kong introduced in 2009 has called for a broader knowledge base. The Faculty admission system is consistent with the spirit and rationale of the academic structure and enables a smooth transition to the 4-year undergraduate degree curriculum in 2012.

Academic advisory system
We understand that selection of major is a very important decision for students. Some students may have already decided what major they want to take before they are admitted, while some may want to explore multiple options before making a decision. Our course selection advisors will advise you on the choice of major, course requirements, and possible major-minor combination to suit your interests, ability, and career aspirations.
