The Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS) announced the main round offer results today. Five top scorers and \u201csuper\u201d top scorers chose to study at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)\u2019s Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine). In 2024\/25, the intake quota of each medical school in Hong Kong is 295. CU Medicine admitted 212 Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (DSE) students, accounting for 72% of the CU Medicine\u2019s total intake this year. This also marks the seventh consecutive year in which students admitted through JUPAS account for 70% or more of the total intake. The Global Physician-Leadership Stream (GPS) continues to be the top programme with the highest median admission score among all universities in the territory for the eleventh consecutive year.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Half of the top 100 DSE students choose CU Medicine<\/strong>, while the i<\/strong>ntake via JUPAS<\/strong> is >70% for the 7th consecutive year<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Starting from this year\u2019s DSE, Citizenship and Social Development replaced Liberal Studies and is only graded into \u201cattained\u201d or \u201cunattained\u201d. For this reason, admission scores are calculated based on six subjects instead of seven.<\/p>\r\n

Five out of eight DSE top scorers (6 subjects or above obtained perfect scores of 5**) who want to study medicine in Hong Kong chose CU Medicine. For those who have obtained 5** in at least 4 subjects and pursue medical studies, 70% joined CU Medicine\u2019s GPS programme.\u00a0 Figures show that CU Medicine admitted almost half of the top 100 DSE students this year. Details are as follows:<\/p>\r\n

Professor<\/strong> Philip Chiu<\/strong>, CU Medicine\u2019s Dean, said: \u201cWe are very pleased that we continue to attract the majority of students with excellent academic performance and aspire to study medicine in Hong Kong, while maintaining a 70% intake of DSE students. This reflects the continued recognition and popularity of the teaching and research quality at CU Medicine among the academic community, parents, and society.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Professor <\/strong>Chiu<\/strong> added: \u201cOur world ranking reached record high in the 2024 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) international ranking. We rank 28th<\/sup> among the top medical schools in the world, first in Hong Kong and second in Asia. In the recently released \u2018Best Global Universities Subject rankings 2024-25\u2019 by U.S. News and World Report, we rank 3rd<\/sup> globally in Gastroenterology and Hepatology for two consecutive years and hold the top spot in Asia along with multiple subjects. These reflect the high regard and recognition for our healthcare education, research, graduate performance, and international connections.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cCU Medicine will continue to advance our medical education facilities and optimise our curriculum to equip students with the most advanced medical knowledge, the highest standards of professionalism, empathy, responsibility, as well as interpersonal and communication skills. Our goal is to instil in them the mindset of always putting patients first and safeguarding the well-being of the community in the new era.\u201d<\/p>","show_as_achievement":false,"achievement_category":[],"show_as_clarification":false,"show_as_announcement":false,"photos":[{"photo":205293,"caption":"CU Medicine"}],"attachments":null,"video_source":"","video_file":"","add_play_button":false,"video_caption":"","show_migration":false,"original_id":0,"photos_original":null,"attachments_original":null},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press\/205289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/press"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press\/205289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":205321,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press\/205289\/revisions\/205321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
