封面圖片來源 Non-JUPAS每年9月至1月開始報名，11月左右就需要交好所有文件，其中除了最基本的身份證明文件、DSE證書、大學成績表或其他證明文件等，還需要寫一份 Personal statement交上報讀院校的學系。有人指出Personal Statement不太重要，大學都會主要看重成績，又有人指出如果Personal Statement寫得不好會影響interview 機會，今日就讓 Tutor Circle尋補  和大家一起探討一下Personal Statement的重要性和撰寫技巧。  

Personal Statement是什麼？

1. Introduction

首先，萬事起頭難，但偏偏Introduction就是整篇Personal Statement的的關鍵！如果不能夠吸引到學系教授有興趣繼續閱讀下去，就是篇失敗的Personal Statement。各位申請者，記得要在最開頭就開宗明義表示你的專長和成就啦！

其次，GPA 是申請時必須遞交的部份，有部份學科有對 GPA 的最低要求，如果不能達標就有可能喪失 interview 機會，不過即使 GPA 未夠理想，如能在後半段解釋自己 GPA 較低的原因，絕對是能大大提升申請機會的。

3. 學術／非學術成就

除此之外，如果自己是一個在課餘時間適逢活躍參加不同活動的人，將自己的獎項、活動經驗、活動項目等學術或非學術的成就寫在P ersonal Statement 也能更有效的展現自己的長處。

然後，跟搵工一樣，如果要說服學系教授接受自己為其中一份子，也需要清楚讓對方去了解自己的個性以及生涯目標，可將你的計劃分為短期和長期，詳細地解釋自己為何會選擇這樣計劃，令人感覺到你是一個有遠見、有抱負的學校。

5. 對於學系／科目的認識，以及相關技能 

最後，P ersonal Statement 也要清楚解釋自己對於該學系或科目的認識。同學可預先做定功課，了解該學系的課程有何特別，以及與其他學院的相似課程有什麼不一樣的地方。

如果自己有與學系相關的技能，例如報讀設計係，曾經有設計相關的經驗和技能，也可以寫在P ersonal Statement 中，絕對能為你加分。

Personal Statement範本

在了解 personal statement 的基本內容後，同學可能會在寫作的時候有點無從入手，感到有點難以掌握寫作的節奏或語調，可參考以下的personal statement sample，再根據自己內容進行調節。

會計和金融學系 Personal Statement Sample 教育學系 Personal Statement Sample 工程學系 Personal Statement Sample 酒店管理學系 Personal Statement Sample 護理學學系 Personal Statement Sample 社會工作學系 Personal Statement Sample 其他學系  

大學看重Personal Statement嗎？

怎樣才能寫好personal statement？.

• Introduction用一至兩句概括全文重點，Conclusion再進行首尾呼應
• 預先計劃文章結構，平均分佈字數
• Simple English is the best English：文句精簡通順，切忌長篇大論，寫多錯多
• 用關於自己的故事/經驗帶出自己的優點
• 拋書包：引用名人經驗/金句等
• 指出所申請學系的好處，再帶出自己想申請的原因

總而言之，Personal Statement就是一篇向大學解釋「你為何要收我？」的文章，也是你向心儀科系推薦自己長處的大好機會，如果不想浪費自己先前苦讀幾個學期的努力，一擊即中，入讀自己心儀的院校和科目，Personal Statement真的非常重要，不能不交，也是一定要寫好的。

Kindly note that non-local applicants are those who: require a student visa/entry permit to study in Hong Kong; OR are holders of a visa/entry permit under the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG); OR are holders of a dependant visa/entry permit who were 18 years old or above when they were issued with such visa/entry permit by the Director of Immigration.

Students may apply for double major in their final year of study, subject to fulfilment of the GPA and unit requirements.

The tuition fee for 2024-25 is yet to be confirmed. For your reference, the tuition fee for 2023-24 is HK$42,100 per annum.

Applicants admitted to a full-time undergraduate programme can apply for financial aid. For further information, please visit the Financial Aid page.

Applicants admitted to a full-time undergraduate programme will automatically be considered for admission scholarships. There is no need for you to submit a separate application for the scholarship. For further information, please visit the Scholarships page .

CUHK is the only university that offers a college experience. Each undergraduate is assigned to one of the constituent Colleges, Chung Chi, New Asia, United, Shaw, Morningside, S.H. Ho, CW Chu, Wu Yee Sun and Lee Woo Sing. The Colleges complement the formal curricula to deliver whole-person education and pastoral care. The college system encourages interaction among teachers, students and alumni.

Applicants admitted to a full-time undergraduate programme will be asked to indicate their preferences for college affiliation.

In assigning new students to different Colleges, it is desirable that each College would have students from different faculties/ departments to facilitate interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and ideas and to widen the students’ intellectual perspective. The system for assigning new students to Colleges takes into consideration the preferences of students, their study programmes and admission scores. Priority is given to a new student to be assigned to his/her first-preference College if either of his/her parent is an alumnus of the College.

While students will be assigned college affiliation based on their preferences as far as possible, they may not be assigned to their most preferred College owing to limitation of places available.

Applicants admitted to a full-time undergraduate programme can apply for hostel accommodation. Their applications will be considered by the respective Colleges. The University has the largest number of hostel places among UGC-funded institutions.

Admission Requirements

Yes. International qualifications such as GCE AL/ International AL, International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, SAT/ ACT/ AP, OSSD/ BC, etc. would be considered. Please visit the Requirements page for more details.

Note that applicants must also satisfy the University’s general languages requirements, minimum required scores or grades for some of the more common acceptable examinations could be found on the webpage above.

Prospective students may refer to reference scores for major international qualifications here .

Please note that admission is not based on public examination results alone, and the overall scores of students admitted to each programme vary from year to year, the information provided is for reference only and should not be used to predict the chance of admission to any programme in subsequent years.

Non-JUPAS applicants who have pursued a curriculum leading to a recognised non-local qualification at secondary or above level prior to admission may be granted, at the discretion of the Faculty Deans concerned, waiver of the Chinese language requirement for admission.

There is no need for applicants to apply for the waiver. If selected for admission, eligible applicants will automatically be considered for the waiver.

Applicants who have successfully completed courses at undergraduate level prior to admission may apply for course and unit exemption after they have registered as a student of the University. Such applications will be considered on individual merits case-by-case. For further information, please visit Registration and Examinations Section, Registry website here .

A "Personal Statement" is an important vehicle through which you introduce yourself to a third party for a specific purpose - enrolling in a graduate school, applying for a scholarship, seeking an internship opportunity, or applying for a job. To write a good Personal Statement, the skills required are as delicate as creating Coffee Art - and practice makes perfect! The following sections will introduce key qualities of good Personal Statements. The recommended links provide both practical and user-friendly tips, samples/templates, and textbook resources on writing Personal Statements (i) for Academic Purposes; and (ii) for Career Purposes.

Essentials for Personal Statements

Effective Personal Statements can open the door to an interview, selection for admission to graduate schools, or even help you to secure a scholarship – but just remember "COFFEE ART"

Personal Statement Coaching

HK Personal Statement Coaching

Hong kong personal statement coaching.

Each student applying to universities in Hong Kong via the non-JUPAS route is required to submit a personal statement. The personal statement is a crucial part of the admissions process, and an opportunity for students to highlight their strengths, passion for the subject, and relevant experiences to the admissions officers.

At CANA, our consultants guide each student individually for the personal statement, from providing recommended resources based on the student’s interest, having in-depth discussions about the student’s experiences, to giving detailed feedback and suggestions for each draft.

When to start writing the Personal Statement?

Generally, we recommend students to buffer 2 months to write the statement, as it takes time to read about the subject and reflect on your learnings.

Another recommendation is for students to work on the statement during the summer before the final school year - that would allow them to focus on the writing before the new term starts in September.

What to include in the Personal Statement?

For personal statements, we advise students to reflect on their personal journeys and why they are inspired to choose certain programs.

It is equally important to demonstrate your academic interest through discussing subject-related experiences or readings. For example, if you are applying for medical-related subjects, you can describe your observations from a shadowing experience or hospital internship. For reading-focused subjects, such as law, you can centre on further readings in the subject area, as well as your analysis and key takeaways from the texts.

Finally, you can emphasize your strengths and interests by detailing your extra-curricular activities to show the admissions officers why you are suitable for the programs you are applying for.

(for 2024 intake).

Engineering with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is another school-based admission choice for students.  In other words, there are 2 school-based choices offered by the HKUST School of Engineering –  

• Engineering
• Engineering with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence ( See details at the  Extended Major  website.)

Similar to Engineering , students applying for Engineering with an Extended Major in AI are admitted to the School of Engineering instead of a particular major program, and they declare a major at the end of Year 1.   This group of students are guaranteed studies in AI subjects, which will be incorporated into the curriculum of their engineering major program.   The normative period of this program remains 4 years.  Students are expected to take an additional course per term on average throughout the 4 years.

There is no fixed quota between JUPAS and Non-JUPAS students.  Offers are made based on the academic standing of applicants.  As long as an application presents a good profile, we’ll consider it.

The School of Engineering offers 2 admission programs for high school leavers: Engineering , and Engineering with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence .  Candidates who apply for Engineering with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence only but do not receive an offer for it may be given an Alternative Offer in Engineering if they reach the admission cut-off for Engineering.  This Alternative Offer mechanism also applies to candidates who apply for admission to engineering programs on strength of a local associate degree or higher diploma program (please see more on this in Q.41 below).

All students will be notified by our University’s undergraduate admissions office.  For better coordination, you are advised to contact them at  [email protected]  on all matters related to your application. 

Whatever documents or information you feel can support your application are welcome.  You can upload them onto our online admission system after you start your application process.  We consider all applicants and select the outstanding ones for offer.  Successful candidates will receive a notification from our online system.

The deposit paid will be refunded only if you fail to meet the admission conditions specified in the admission offer letter.  You need to produce proof for it.  For more details, please contact our University's undergraduate admissions office at [email protected] .

Classification is based on definition determined by the HKSAR Government, and is not at discretion of applicants or HKUST.  If you are holding a HKID card and you have the right to abode / land in Hong Kong, you will be regarded as a local student.  Some students holding a dependent visa and meet the HKSAR Government’s definition for local students will also be given the status of a local student, if admitted.  For enquiries related to your status in Hong Kong, please contact the Education Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government.

The University has approved a credit transfer framework for students (depending on their basis of admission) admitted to our bachelor’s degree programs. Students may be granted up to 30 transfer credits which will count towards the minimum graduation requirement of 120 credits.

There are 3 categories of credit transfer for new students:

• University Common Core credits – up to 6 credits (only applicable to students admitted on basis of IBDP and GCE A-Level / International A-Level results), and 6 unassigned free credits
• University Common Core English Communication credits – students must reach the required level of proficiency in specified examinations. 
• Course by course mapping – credits are granted for specific subjects taken in specified exams on condition that students have obtained the required grade / mark.

While the actual numbers of transfer credits granted vary from students to students depending on the admission basis, the subjects that have been taken, and the level of attainment, our experience shows that most students with GCEAL / IAL / IBDP / AP are granted more than 20 credits.

We don’t have preference for any of these qualifications. Applicants have to declare which qualification they are using for seeking admission right at the beginning.  Students holding 2 complete sets of qualifications can choose either one of them as basis of admission, while the other will be treated as supplementary information to support their applications.

Math is a must.  The other subject should be engineering-related, e.g. physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, etc. 

Admission to engineering programs is not restricted to students taking Physics. Students taking physics, chemistry, biology or computer science will all be considered.  In the first year of study, students will be advised to take the appropriate fundamental courses. These courses aim at bridging the gap between their secondary school education and the coursework at HKUST so that they can proceed smoothly to the subsequent years.

It’s difficult to tell as applicants’ quality varies from year to year.  Interested students may refer to our University's undergraduate admissions website .

Yes, you have to submit official English test scores. We accept a wide range of English tests – you can find it on our University's undergraduate admissions website  (go to “Requirements” ).

We don’t really waive it for the JUPAS students.  All JUPAS students are required to obtain Level 3 in the HKDSE English exam.  

The interviews to be held in late 2023 are only for JUPAS candidates. For non-JUPAS students, we will review the applications first.  If we find interview helpful, we’ll contact you to set up an interview.  For 2024 intake, exact details of interview arrangements will be announced by the University in due course.  Applicants will be contacted by our University’s undergraduate admissions office if they are shortlisted.

Whatever documents or information you feel can support your application are welcome.  You can upload them onto our admission system after you start your application process.

We’ll look at the information and it helps us to understand you better.  Do let us know of your MAJOR interest and achievements, but be selective in your entry. 

Anything about yourself that will enable us to understand you better, e.g. why you are interested in engineering. 

Academic reference is an important source of information to enable our School to understand your strengths and interest.  Therefore it is an important document to support your application.  Normally 2 would be sufficient. 

Of course you should apply.  We will give students who do not yet have final results a conditional offer.  The conditions will be specified very clearly on the admission offer letter.  If you accept our offer, you pay the deposit and the place will be kept for you.  When your final results are released, and you meet our conditions, the offer will be automatically converted into a firm offer.  On the contrary, if you fail to meet the conditions, the offer will be withdrawn but the deposit will be refunded.

In general, no application is required for scholarships based on academic merits.  We consider all applicants and select the outstanding ones for award.  If you are selected for a scholarship, you will be notified at the same time when you receive an admission offer from us. 

However, there are a few non-academic scholarships that are not based on academic merit, e.g.  Student Athletes Admissions Scholarship (SAAS) , Beyond Academic Admissions Scholarship (BAAS) , etc.  These scholarships are open for applications.  Students who meet the eligibility requirements need to submit an application to HKUST .  For more details of these scholarships, please visit the  University's undergraduate admissions website. 

IBDP (International Baccalaureate  Diploma Program ) 

For admission to engineering programs, we accept any one of the following IBDP Math subjects:

• Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (HL)
• Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (SL)
• Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation (HL)

No, we accept any science or engineering-related subjects, including but not limited to chemistry, biology, and computer science.  Also please see Q.11 above.

No, we accept both higher level and standard level for all science subjects – physics, chemistry, biology, etc.

SAT / AP are not required if you apply on strength of IBDP. But if you do well in the tests, you can supply the scores to us as supplementary information to support your application.

Basically, we need a full IB diploma for admission.  But we can consider IB certificate on a case basis.  If you do not have a full IB diploma, but have some other public exam results (such as SAT/AP, GCE A-Level), do send them in with your applications, and we will review it on a case basis.

HKUST has a scholarship for holders of IB Diploma program, up to full tuition plus living allowance of HK$60,000, tenable for the normal duration of the study program at HKUST.  For details, please visit the University's undergraduate admissions website.

Applicants may receive top-up scholarship from the School of Engineering based on academic merit. 

Scholarship offers are issued at the same time when admission offers are issued.

GCE A-Level (GCEAL) / International A-Level (IAL) 

Sorry, we require at least 3 subjects at Advanced Level. Subjects at the Cambridge Pre-U Program are also acceptable.

We require Math at Advanced Level since good mathematical skills and solid preparation are essential to engineering studies.  While Further Math is not required, it can nevertheless be accepted as equivalent to Math or Pure Math in meeting our admission requirement.

Basically 3 subjects would be good enough if they are science and engineering-related subjects. 

Yes, HKUST has a scholarship for students who obtain outstanding results in GCE A-Level or International A-Level exams, up to full tuition, tenable for the normal duration of the study program at HKUST. 

For details, please visit the University’s undergraduate admissions website.  

Scholarship offers are issued at the same time when admission offers are issued. 

Sorry, HKUST requires at least 3 SAT subjects or 3 AP subjects in addition to the SAT Test.  However, if you hold other qualifications which you can use to apply for admission, you may use your SAT Test scores as a supplementary qualification on top of your admission basis. 

Applications with either SAT Subjects and AP subjects will both be considered.  However, as AP subjects are more advanced, candidates may obtain transfer credits for certain subjects if they reach the level of attainment required.  There is no credit transfer for SAT subjects. 

Yes, you can apply, though Math at a more advanced level is strongly preferred.  We will review the overall profile of an application. 

Cal AB is acceptable.  We don’t have preference between AB and BC. 

No, we don’t have any preference. 

The University has no scheme for SAT / AP, but the School of Engineering does offer scholarships to individual applicants on grounds of academic merit. 

Sub-degree and Other Post-secondary Qualifications Holders 

Students who will have finished only the first year of an associate degree or higher diploma program by the end of the 2022-23 academic year should apply to the School for admission to Year 1.  Those who will have finished the entire associate degree program or higher diploma program by the end of the 2022-23 academic year should apply to Programs, and admission is normally to Year 2.  However, students who wish to explore other engineering areas (which is different from the associate degree/higher diploma program that they have completed) can also apply for admission to the School.

• Associate Degree/Higher Diploma Program Year 1 students à apply for Year 1 entry to:

        - School of Engineering ( Engineering or Engineering with an Extended Major in Artificial  Intelligence )

• Associate Degree/Higher Diploma Program Year 2 students à apply to:

         - School of Engineering ( Engineering or Engineering with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence ) (for Year 1 entry only), or

        - Other specific Engineering Programs (for Year 2 entry)

You can choose to apply through either route, but can’t take both routes at the same time.  If you decide to apply through direct admission, make sure that you provide information of your associate degree program in your on-line application. This also applies to students who are enrolled in higher diploma programs. 

No, for students who are already in an associate degree program (or higher diploma program), no matter whether they are in the first year or second year of study.  They don’t have to present results in Chinese when applying for admission to HKUST if they apply to HKUST directly.  However, if they apply through JUPAS again, then a minimum of Level 3 in Chinese Language is needed.

The School of Engineering adopts the Alternative Offer mechanism.  Candidates who do not receive an offer from our engineering programs but reach the admission cut-off for admission to Engineering have the chance of receiving an Alternative Offer in Engineering .  Students admitted to Engineering will start their study at HKUST from Year 1.  They will go through major selection at the end of Year 1, which determines their major programs to be pursued from Year 2 onwards.  Courses that students have completed in the associate degree or higher diploma program may be recognized and transferred if the courses are deemed equivalent to the HKUST courses after a course-by-course mapping evaluation by relevant Departments.  However, the credit transfer arrangements for holders of Local Post-secondary Awards in relation to common core and unassigned free credits will NOT  apply to this group of students.

Associate Degree / Higher Diploma holders (i.e. students who will have completed the entire associate degree/higher diploma program prior to admission to HKUST) admitted directly to a program (i.e. not School-based admission) may be granted credit transfer up to 60 credits, which is equivalent to 2 years. Therefore, if the credits earned at the post-secondary institute fit really well to the requirements of the HKUST programs that students are admitted to, it is possible that these students can graduate in 2 years.  However, please understand that the requirements vary from programs to programs.  The exact number of credits to be transferred will be reviewed at the point of admission.  You should discuss with the Department to which you are admitted regarding your study pathway after admission offer is received.
