Undergraduate Admissions

AIS adopts two models of undergraduate admission: [School-based](https://ais.hkust.edu.hk/programs/undergraduate/admission/school-based-admission) and [Program-based](https://ais.hkust.edu.hk/programs/undergraduate/admission/program-based-admission), to provide flexibility and give choices to applicants who are clear about their academic and career interests and opt for Program-based Admission, as well as those who prefer more time to explore their interests after admission and opt for School-based Admission. The number of students admitted via School-based Admission would be at least equal to the number of students admitted via Program-based Admission.

Students with international qualifications can apply via [join.hkust.edu.hk](https://join.hkust.edu.hk/admissions/international-qualifications).

The following programs are currently offered under AIS:

| Program Name | Target Enrollment | School-based Admission | Program-based Admission |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [BEng / BSc and BBA Dual Degree Program in Technology and Management (T&M-DDP)](https://techmgmt.hkust.edu.hk/) | 40 | YES | YES |

Program-based Admission

Prospective students select AIS programs they wish to join at the admission stage. Upon successful admission, they will enroll into the interdisciplinary program starting from the first year of study.

Local mainstream secondary school students should apply via the Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS). Local students with non-HKDSE qualifications, as well as non-local students should apply via Direct Entry Admission. Please visit [join.hkust.edu.hk](https://join.hkust.edu.hk/) for information about application procedure, admission requirements and important dates.
