HKSYU welcomes applications for undergraduate admissions of Year 3 entry from eligible students. Students with the following qualifications can apply:
| Types of Applicants | Minimum Entry Requirements |
|---|---|
| Sub-degree Applicants | Applicants should have completed a locally accredited Associate Degree / Higher Diploma programme in relevant discipline offered by the higher institutions in Hong Kong with a total GPA of 2.5 or above (3.0 or above for Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Applied Data Science Programme).

Applicants with other local or overseas academic or professional qualifications should apply for qualification assessment by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) in advance.

Remarks
a) Non-local applicants and mature students may be required to attend the written test/interview.
b) The University has adopted the Common Block Credit Transfer (CBCT) arrangement for the admission of sub-degree graduates articulating to Year 3 of most SYU programmes. The CBCT framework for Year 3 Entry is as follows:
1. Students admitted directly to Year 3 must complete at least 50% of the total number of credits required for the award of the degree at HKSYU
2. CBCT will be granted to an eligible sub-degree graduate who is designated as a Year 3 student upon admission. The maximum number of BCT for Year 3 Entry is 50% of the total credits required for completion of a programme.
3. Students must complete language required courses*, Departmental required core and elective courses, and other required electives before graduation to fulfill the programme credit requirements.
4. Students will be exempted from taking the General Education requirement.
5. Some SYU degree programmes specify a list of foundation courses in the first two years in the major discipline that form the basis of the courses in the senior years. The relevant departments may design a Year 3 Entry Scheme for students admitted directly into Year 3. The Programme may comprise departmental core and elective courses.
*Students will be required to complete CHI102 First Year Chinese II (4 credits) and ENG212 English Writing II (3 credits) in
- Summer term prior to the commencement of Year 3 (offered in intensive mode); or
- Second semester of Year 3; or
- Summer term prior to the commencement of Year 4 (offered in intensive mode).
c) CBCT is not applicable to the following programmes which lead to professional recognition. Respective departments will assess the academic qualifications of individual applicants. Students may need to take one or two additional courses to fulfil the qualification requirements of the professional bodies:
- -Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) in Accounting
- -Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Psychology
