UK’s Entry Requirement for HKDSE

As the first year of HKDSE examinations will commence this year, many UK universities have released specific entry requirements for HKDSE. We have gathered and summarized the materials in the table below. You will be able to assess related documents in HKEAA website by clicking the icons.

Bachelor’s Degrees and Foundation Courses

Students who fulfilled the requirement are eligible to directly progress to year 1 of an undergraduate degree, while those who fall short will have to take one-year pathway programmes such as International Diplomas and University Foundation Courses.

Upon successful completion of a university foundation course, you will be able to progress to year one of an undergraduate degree, which means that it will take four years to complete the undergraduate qualification. If you obtained slightly better grades, you have the option of international diplomas, after which you can progress to year two of an undergraduate degree.
