Applicants seeking admission based on their Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) results should apply through the "Joint University Programmes Admissions System" (JUPAS).

From 2025 intake onwards, the School of Engineering adopts the Dual Track Admissions Framework:

(1) Department-based Admission (JUPAS code: JS5212)

Students who already have confirmed passion for computer engineering may consider applying for direct admission through department-based admission.

(2) School-based Admission (JUPAS code: JS5282)

For students who would like to explore different engineering disciplines before deciding on a major. Limited quota for major selection of CPEG. Please visit HKUST School of Engineering (seng.hkust.edu.hk) and HKUST Undergraduate Admission (join.hkust.edu.hk) for more information.
