Q	Can I apply for admission to the University if I have only completed Grade 12 of secondary study?
A	For non-local qualifications, applicants who have completed Grade 13 or Grade 12 with good grades, but without studying bachelor degree programme for at least one year, may still be eligible to apply. Application for this type will be considered for admission on a case-by-case basis. Other acceptable overseas qualifications, please refer to admission requirements for non-JUPAS applicants with overseas qualifications.

Q	Can I apply for admission to undergraduate degree programmes as a transfer student?
A	You may apply for admission to Year 2 if you have completed at least one year of full-time study of a three-year honours degree programme or two years of a four-year honours degree programme at a tertiary education institution recognized by the University. Upon successful admission, you may apply for transfer of units for equivalent subjects at the University. For local applicants, if you apply for transfer from the first year of a full-time government-funded programme to the first year of a full-time government-funded programme at HKBU in similar discipline, your application will normally not be considered unless you have obtained new qualifications from public examinations since admission to your current programme, or have extenuating circumstances such as health problems.
Q	Can I transfer the units I previously earned from other institution(s) to the University?
A	Upon successful admission, you may apply for transfer of units for equivalent subjects at the University. Under normal circumstances, students may be granted transfer units which amount to no more than one-third of the total units required for graduation. Furthermore, the University reserves the right to refuse to grant units for subjects which are not deemed to be equivalent to the University subjects and for subjects with grades below the equivalence of grade C in the University grading system.
