International and Non-JUPAS Applicants

Applicants can apply for admission to CUHK Social Science (Broad-based) on the strength of a variety of qualifications (e.g. IB, GCE and SAT) without committing to a particular major programme. After exploring their interests further in year 1, students can declare one of the many Social Science major programmes that best suit their interests and capabilities and complete the relevant Bachelor of Social Science degree. Admission Scholarships are offered to outstanding applicants. To facilitate a smooth transition at the University, the Office of Student Affairs has prepared Tips for Incoming Students for non-local students.
