JUPAS themed collection
Fiercely Contested
The most oversubscribed programmes in Hong Kong — often a dozen or more applicants per offer. Apply by all means, but know exactly where you stand and secure your backups.
Selection criteria
2025 Band A applicants-per-offer ratio in the citywide top 10% (the "Very High" competition tier); sorted by ratio, highest first.
41 programmes — all listed.
The bracketed percentage = the programme's admission median ÷ that programme's OWN full mark (theoretical maximum weighted score). Institutions publish scores on different scales, so this percentage is what makes them comparable; it is omitted where the full mark cannot be derived.
