Lingnan University organised the Information Day for Undergraduate Admissions 2017 today (21 October).

 

In the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Asia University Rankings 2018 announced recently, Lingnan University becomes one of the top 100 Asian universities, up by 9 places from last year to the 100th.  Today’s Information Day is an ideal opportunity for secondary school students, teachers, parents and the general public to obtain latest information about the University and its programmes and admission arrangements, and experience the teaching and learning environment as well as campus life of the only liberal arts university in Hong Kong.

 

The Information Day featured a wide variety of events including programme introduction talks, exhibitions and booths organised by the University’s three faculties, namely Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Business and Faculty of Social Sciences, to showcase their programmes’ design, content and unique features in teaching and learning.  Information related to admission arrangements was provided to participants who were mostly secondary school students, and questions related to admission were addressed on the spot.  The University also introduced its new JUPAS admission arrangements in 2018.  Please refer to the supplementary information for more details of the new JUPAS admission arrangements.

 

Academic departments, teaching units and student organisations also staged a series of exciting activities including seminars, booth activities, business startup sharing, campus tours, book fair and arts exhibitions, so that the public could know more about Lingnan’s multi-cultural, diversified learning environment and interesting campus life.

 

Meanwhile, the University also hosted the 21st Jackie Chan Challenge Cup Inter-collegiate Invitation Tournament, an annual sports gala participated by athletes from different universities Hong Kong.  Final results of the Tournament are as follows:

Lingnan University’s new JUPAS admission arrangements in 2018

Lingnan University will introduce new JUPAS admission arrangements in 2018.

Within the General Entrance Requirements of 33222 whereby all candidates are required to take four core subjects (i.e. Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics Compulsory Part and Liberal Studies) plus another elective of their choice for the purpose of admission to Lingnan, the University will adopt a new “best 5 subjects” approach with subject weightings in calculating the JUPAS admission scores for entrance to Lingnan from 2018.

This approach includes Categories A and C subjects, and excludes Mathematics Extended Part and Category B Applied Learning subjects.  The final admissions decisions will be based, after factoring in the subject weightings, on the “best five subjects” that result in the highest weighted admission scores for candidates.  This new approach will provide greater flexibility for JUPAS applicants who are interested in Lingnan’s liberal arts education to plan carefully and take additional elective subjects relevant for arts, business and social sciences disciplines.

To facilitate applicants’ choice of study programmes and to enhance transparency on the calculation mechanism of admission scores, the University will also make available the exact subject weightings adopted by individual programmes in the first quarter of 2018 at the University website (www.LN.edu.hk/admissions/ug/jupas/weighting.php).
