- JUPAS applicants (JUPAS code JS5102 and JS5101)
- Local non-JUPAS applicants
- Local sub-degree holders
- Mainland, Taiwan and Macau applicants
- International applicants
Admission to the School of Science can be through JUPAS with HKDSE Results, Local Direct Entry, most Common International Qualifications such as SAT or IB, or through the Mainland China Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). Detailed information about the admission requirements and process can be found on the websites of the School of Science and the University Recruitment and Admissions Office (URAO).
A limited number of places are also available for local sub-degree holders (i.e., Associate Degree or Higher Diploma) to directly admitted into Physics as senior year student. Read more.
We also offer Minor Programs in Physics and Astrophysics and Cosmology for HKUST students with majors in other disciplines.
School-Based Admission
Students in any of the above mentioned Physics Major programs will be admitted to the School of Science in the first year. Upon completion of the first year of study, students will then declare their Majors. Students interested in Physics may choose the School of Science program either via "Science" (SSCI) route at the time of application or the "International Research Enrichment Track" (IRE-Track). The IRE is an elite undergraduate program targeted at students who wish to pursue a research career with strong emphasis on research and projects.
For JUPAS applicants, please look up Science (Group A) (JUPAS code JS5102), International Research Enrichment (JUPAS code JS5101).
