CityU Undergraduate Programme Catalogue (Part 2): College of Science, Veterinary Medicine, Creative Media, Energy & Environment, Law, and Double Degrees

Admissions ~9,455 characters · 20 min read Updated

This page continues from the Undergraduate Programme Catalogue (Part 1), which explains the 8.5‑point conversion scale and covers programmes offered by the College of Biomedical Sciences, College of Business, College of Computing, College of Engineering, and CLASS. This Part 2 sets out the JUPAS codes, score formulae, and 2025 admissions scores for programmes offered by the College of Science, the Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences (Veterinary Medicine), the School of Creative Media, the School of Energy and Environment, the School of Law, and four cross-college double‑degree programmes.

Data basis: 2026 Entry. The figures are taken from the Admissions Office’s official document, Admission Score Formula and Admissions Scores for 2026 JUPAS (version dated 7 January 2026). The admissions scores shown are the actual scores of students admitted in 2025 entry and are for reference only. The University makes clear that “because the weighting applied to each programme is different, the scores cannot be compared across programmes or across cohorts.”


7. College of Science

JS Code Programme (English) Score Formula Median Lower Quartile
JS1200 Global Research Enrichment and Technopreneurship (GREAT; majors include BSc Chemistry / BSc Computing Mathematics / BSc Physics + GREAT) Best 4; Chem/M2/Physics ×2.5, Eng/Maths/M1 ×2, Bio/Econ ×1.5 37 36.5
JS1202 BSc Chemistry (streams: Comprehensive Chemistry, Cosmetic Chemistry, Forensic Chemistry, or GREAT pathway) Best 4; Eng/Chem ×2, Maths ×1.5 27.5 27
JS1206 BSc Computing Mathematics (streams: Enrichment Mathematics, Financial Mathematics, or GREAT pathway) Best 4 (including Maths); Maths ×2.5, Eng/M1M2 ×2, Bio/Chem/Physics ×1.5 37 36
JS1208 BSc Physics (streams: Classical Physics, Modern Physics, Experimental and Computational Physics, Medical Physics, or Condensed Matter Physics) Best 4 (including Maths); Eng/Physics ×2, M1M2 ×1.5, Maths ×1.25 28 27

8. Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences

JS Code Programme (English) Score Formula Median Lower Quartile
JS1801 Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (BVM; One Health / Animal Health and Welfare / Public Health / dual accreditation) Best 5 (must include Eng, Maths, Bio, Chem); equal weighting 33.5 32

JS1801 Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine (BVM) is the only undergraduate veterinary programme in Hong Kong (offered by CityU in partnership with Cornell University in the United States). Although the median JUPAS admissions score is not the highest at the University, the programme has mandatory prerequisites in Biology and Chemistry, and the tuition fee is substantially higher than that of most other programmes (see Tuition and Scholarships). An interview is also part of the admissions process; mainland Chinese students admitted through the national unified entrance-exam channel are likewise required to attend an interview (see Non-local, Mainland and International Students).


9. School of Creative Media (SCM)

JS Code Programme (English) Score Formula Median Lower Quartile
JS1040 Creative Arts and Technology Excellence (CREATE; majors include School-based BSc Creative Media / BA Creative Media / BSc Creative Media / BAS New Media) Best 5 (including Eng); Eng ×2 28 24.5
JS1041 Creative Media (majors include BA Creative Media / BSc Creative Media / BAS New Media) Best 5 (including Eng); Eng ×2 25.5 25
JS1042 BA Creative Media (streams: Animation, Film and Photography, Critical Theory, Games, New Media Art, Sound Art) Best 5 (including Eng); Eng ×2 27.5 27
JS1043 BSc Creative Media (combines creative media and computer science) Best 5 (including Eng, Maths); Eng ×2, Maths ×1.5 26.5 25.5
JS1044 BAS New Media (streams: Media Arts, Robotics and AI, Art and Technology, Digital Fabrication) Best 5 (including Eng); Eng ×2 24 24

CityU’s School of Creative Media is one of the pioneers of creative-media education at tertiary level in Asia, bridging arts and technology. Its undergraduate programmes recognise certain Category B Applied Learning subjects as elective scores for admissions purposes (see Note 1 in the official PDF).


10. School of Energy and Environment (SEE)

JS Code Programme (English) Score Formula Median Lower Quartile
JS1050 International Sustainability Programme for Innovation, Research & Entrepreneurship (INSPIRE; majors include BEng Energy Science and Engineering / BEng Environmental Science and Engineering + global perspectives) Best 5 (including Eng, Maths, and one of Bio/Chem/Physics); first elective Bio/Chem/Physics ×2.5, Maths ×2.5 38 36.5
JS1051 Energy and Environment (majors include BEng Energy Science and Engineering / BEng Environmental Science and Engineering) Best 5 (including Eng, Maths, and one of Bio/Chem/Physics); Maths ×2.5, first elective science subject ×2.5, Eng ×2 40.5 40
JS1053 BSc Environment and Sustainable Business (environmental science / business sustainability / ESG) Best 5 (including Eng, Maths, and one science subject); Maths/Science/Econ or BAFS ×2.5, Eng ×2 40 39.5

Because SEE programmes have heavy weighting (Mathematics and science subjects at ×2.5), the nominal admissions scores are generally high (JS1051 median 40.5) and are not directly comparable with “absolute” grades.


11. School of Law

JS Code Programme (English) Score Formula Median Lower Quartile
JS1061 Bachelor of Laws (LLB) Best 5 (including Eng); equal weighting 23 21.5

The CityU School of Law is one of three providers of the common-law LLB in Hong Kong. The research/second-degree Juris Doctor (JD) programme does not admit students through JUPAS and therefore has no JS code. The law programme sets a higher English-language threshold for mainland Chinese students admitted via the Gaokao (English score must be ≥135). For details see Non-local, Mainland and International Students.


12. Double Degree Programmes

CityU offers several JUPAS double-degree programmes spanning different colleges; graduates receive two degrees.

JS Code Programme (English) Score Formula Median Lower Quartile
JS1052 BEng Environmental Science and Engineering and BBA Finance (ESG / green finance) Best 5 (including Eng, Maths, and one science subject); Maths/Science ×2.5, Eng ×2 40 39.5
JS1062 Bachelor of Laws and BBA Accountancy (Law + Accounting) Best 5 (including Eng); Eng ×1.5 29 25
JS1123 BSocSc Crime Science and Bachelor of Laws (Crime Science + Law) Best 5 (including Eng); equal weighting 24.5 23
JS1221 BSc Computer Science and BSc Computational Finance and Financial Technology (Computer Science + Computational Finance and FinTech) Best 5; equal weighting 23 22

Data gaps and explanations

  • Parts 1 and 2 together provide complete coverage of every JS1xxx programme listed in CityU’s official document 2026 JUPAS Admission Score Formula and Admissions Scores, spanning 11 colleges/schools and 4 double degrees.
  • JS1300 (Bio3, see Part 1) is a new programme for 2026 entry. The official document marks it as “New Programme in 2026 JUPAS”, so no 2025 admissions scores are available.
  • The admissions scores are statistics for 2025‑entry admits. CityU explicitly states that they are “for reference only, cannot be compared across programmes or across cohorts, and cannot be used to predict admission probability.”
  • Non‑JUPAS (IB/A‑Level/SAT), mainland Chinese, and international admissions fall outside the scope of this catalogue; see Undergraduate Admissions and Non-local, Mainland and International Students.

Criteria for subsequent updates

This page and Part 1 together carry the full programme catalogue, spun off from Undergraduate Admissions. Future updates will be incorporated into the main body using only three categories of material: first, primary sources such as the University’s official website, annual reports, college/department pages, and publications by regulatory or ranking bodies; second, verifiable facts from reliable media, student media, or publicly archived records; and third, public timelines that explain systemic rule changes. Unsubstantiated screenshots, undated rumours, ranking slogans, or personal assessments that cannot be traced to a source may only be treated as uncorroborated leads and must never be written up as established fact. Each year, when the new edition of admissions scores is officially released, the figures can be updated college by college.
