Admissions

Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) (JS4501)

Apart from the 4 core subjects, students should take at least 2 electives (with one being either Biology OR Chemistry) offered in the HKDSE. Taking a third elective is strongly recommended as we use the total score of all subjects (4 cores + 2 or 3 electives) to rank students. Minimum admission requirements for entry are as follows:

Note: Taking both Chemistry and Biology is preferred.

The conversion of HKDSE examination grades to our admission scores is as follows: 5**=7, 5*=6, 5=5, 4=4, 3=3.

Based on the previous results, we expect that students should achieve a total HKDSE score of around 40 or higher for entry into our medicine programme.

The extended Mathematics module (M1/M2) will not be counted as one of the elective subjects, but it would contribute to the total HKDSE score if its attained level is higher than that of the worst one of the seven subjects (4 core subjects + the best 3 elective subjects). In that case, the score for the worst subject is replaced by a new score comprising half the original score of that subject and half the score of the extended mathematics module. The calculation will be:  (M1/M2 + lowest level obtained in the 7 subjects) ÷ 2.

Based on students’ School Reference Index, students who have put MBChB and/or GPS as one of Band A choices will be shortlisted for early interviews in May/June. After the release of HKDSE results in late July, students achieving high total HKDSE score (e.g. ≥ 40) and have not been interviewed before will be selected for interview in August.
