REQUIREMENTS

We set out to recruit the most capable all-round students, who not only have excellent academic abilities and keen interest in the medical discipline, but also with leadership potentials, ability to work in a team, good communication skills, and more importantly, high ethical standards and a strong desire to care for people. We offer 265 places in 2019-20 and we do not set specific quota for JUPAS and non-JUPAS places. We select students who rank around top 1% or higher in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) or equivalent standards for non-JUPAS categories, as well as having a good performance at the admission interview. Given the unique circumstance in Hong Kong, only permanent residents with right of abode in Hong Kong are eligible for application (except for a few students from mainland China under a specific Mainland scheme).
