Joint Admission (Hong Kong)

“Joint distribution” process determines admission based on the subjects and scores specified in the brochure, the admission quotas of individual departments, and the applicant’s listed preferences. As many prestigious programs—including Medicine and Veterinary Medicine—primarily recruit through this channel, eligible students are strongly encouraged to utilize this pathway.
