Young Scientist Scheme (YSS)
for Outstanding Science Students
As a strong, research-oriented faculty, we are committed to
providing our students with the best science education and
be a nursery for future scientists. YSS provides
outstanding students with ample early research
experience.
Young Scientist Scheme (YSS)
for Outstanding Science Students
Objective:
Young Scientist Scheme (YSS)
for Outstanding Science Students
JUPAS students admitted to 6901 BSc programme with a total
score of 31 or above in their best 5 HKDSE subjects
(Category A subjects. M1 or M2 is also regarded as a
regular Category A subject) are automatically accepted to
YSS. No interview is needed.
