AY2011-12 Grade Profiles, Polytechnic GPAs and Programme Places for A level and Polytechnic Applicants Eligibility for
admission is an important factor when students decide on which programme to study. Applicants need to be aware that the admission criteria may vary from programme to programme. For the popular programmes with small intake, competition is expected to be keener with more stringent grade requirements. In order to help prospective applicants make an informed choice, our University has put together the information in a tabular format for easy reference. In using the tables below, please note the following: a. The grade profiles, GPAs and programme places may vary from year to year, depending on the number and performance of applicants, and the number of places available. b. Meeting the previous years grade/GPA scores of a programme does not guarantee admission to that programme for the current year. c. Certain programmes may have specific subject requirements. The programmes marked with asterisk (*) are those where additional assessments such as interviews, selection tests, and/or portfolios are required. Please refer to [Link] for more details.
The grade profiles, polytechnic GPAs are to be used as a guide only.

The grade profiles refer to the grades scored by A-level applicants in their 3 H2 and 1 H1 subjects. For the purpose of this exercise, Grade C is assumed for both General Paper (GP) and Project Work (PW) in determining the grade profiles. Please note that certain programmes may require grades higher than C for GP.

These provide an indication of the grade profiles for most of the applicants admitted in AY2011-12. There could be other equivalent profiles for each programme. For example, a grade profile of ABC/C could be considered to be broadly equivalent to BBB/C, unless there are pre-requisites.
