JUPAS admission for 2005
CityU has performed well in this year's Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS) Admissions Exercise. The average admission score of new students recruited through the main round JUPAS offer has hit a record high of 10.34, representing a rise of 4.66% over that of last year and 13.37% over that of 2001. About 80% of the entrants admitted to CityU's UGC-funded bachelor's degree programmes placed our programmes in their Band A choices. The encouraging results show that CityU's focus on professional, quality education is being recognized.
