Notes:
(1) In the admission process, some programmes may have additional requirements (such as specifying subject requirements, assigning heavier weighting to specific subjects,
etc.) which are not reflected in the Total Reference Scores above. For the latest admission information, please visit http://admission.cuhk.edu.hk/jupas/download.html

(2) Programmes admitting less than 5 students are excluded.
