Admission

  • 1. Qualifications Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Chinese nationals

    Applications and admissions for Chinese nationals will be through the usual Chinese national university admission process.


    International applicants (non-Chinese passport holders)

    These are the requirements that you must have (or be predicted to attain) to be considered for entry. Each year there is a specific number of places available and where the number of applicants exceeds the number of places, then a selection process based on academic achievement, personal statement and references will be used. Meeting the entry requirement does not guarantee a place on the programme.

    • AABB to include Biology and Chemistry at B, achievement by end of S5 preferred.

    • BBB must be achieved in one year of S4-S6.

    • Higher Mathematics or Physics and Advanced Higher Biology and Chemistry are recommended.
