2. Can I apply for direct entry to Year 2 or 3?
There is no direct entry to Year 2 or 3 for the BEd&BSc programme.
3. I am a current student of a bachelor’s degree programme at another university. Can I apply for a transfer?
If you would like to transfer to the University, you shall apply through our “International / Non JUPAS Admissions Scheme” for Year 1 entry. You should clearly state on the application any courses you have completed for your current bachelor’s degree and indicate that you wish to apply for transfer of credits. Request for credit transfer will be considered by the Faculty after you have been admitted to the University. Bachelor’s degree students studying programmes funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC) in local tertiary institutions may wish to note that inter-institutional transfer is generally discouraged unless there are exceptional circumstances and such transfer has been specially approved by the University on the basis of over-enrolment.
4. I am a JUPAS applicant. Do I need to put the Programme in Band A choice?
Normally only Band A applicants will be considered favourably in admissions. Applicants should put our programmes in Band A to increase chances of admissions.

Candidates may be invited to attend interviews. However, being invited to an interview is not an indicator of the chance of admissions.
