Seems CUHK's Medicine does not require Chemistry in HKDSE.

Where is the link of your info?

I attended the admission talks of CUHK and HKU Medical Schools. CUHK's link only reflects HKCEE and HKAL requirements. In the talk, students asked the requirement of HKDSE, Chemistry is compulsory.

Never assume medicine is a subject too easy to master.

A classmate of mine entered the medicine programme of CUHK through the EAS with 8A1B in HKCEE. After one year he applied for transfer to another ...

Thanks for your reminder, that's truth and don't waste the chance and cost HK$750k per student per year.

I talked to one Professor in CUHK, he said they preferred non-Jupas students especially they are graduates, they are more mature and have the passion to study medicine.

Also, relatively more EAS dropped out compared with others. I didn't follow up on the reason as no more EAS for my son's batch.

I should say Chemistry is not a must. Applicants must have taken at least one subject from Phy/Chem/Bio/Combined Science.

Although Chemistry is not a must for CUHK medicine, I don't think anyone targeting for Medicine does not take Chmistry.

Agreed. I regard Medicine as the most difficult subject to study. Law is an easy subject but only not easy to enter.

Thanks for your link, it's interesting.

For IB, still need Chemistry HL. GCE at least 3 As included Maths, Chemistry and Biology (Human).

I didn't follow NSS for a few months, so many changes. I should keep my mouth shut and or double-confirm the info.

言重了, 我也奇怪cu不繼續把Chem例作medicine的必收科.

我覺得以前係「你自己搞得掂先至好入來」
未來則是「你入左來先至幫你搞掂佢」

但抱著後者心態入讀醫科真係搵自己來搞

That's entrance requirements only. But so many bright students apply for that, Medical School has a lot of choice. No good grade in Chemistry, the chance is extremely slim........

如果揀 Physics & Chemistry 的話，大學有那學科可以報讀 ?? 煩有這方面資料提供一下 !  謝

I don't know about Law, but I don't think studying Medicine is that difficult. An above average student with good memory should be able to handle. Most of the material in undergraduate medicine is factual things. However, potential medical student should be prepare to study hard and spend much more time in the lecture room, library and ward while students from other faculty are fooling arround. Apart from that, being a medical doctor is a life long commitment and many of them has a boring life. I think that's why that Professor in CUHK preferred non-Jupas students especially they are graduates since they are more mature and have the passion to study medicine.

各位家長大家好! 我依家係一個form4學生, 我依家讀緊history geog 同bio. 我share我知既野比大家作個參考喇=]
其實間間學校既選科組合都唔同,所以我唔可以列晒所有例子出黎,而我睇過呢個post, 發現大家主要有幾個大問題想問:
1. 到底揀科跟大路為出路定係為興趣?
2. BAFS同Econ既分別?
3. M1/M2同core既maths有咩分別?
4. combined science唔同組合會有D咩分別?






1. 其實揀科為前途定為興趣的確好難取捨. 唔少人認為讀理科既出路會多同埋睇落好似冇文科咁多野背輕鬆D. 但係我發現我身邊既同學都出現左一個問題: 佢地自己讀緊phy chembio, 不過因為334課程比舊制ce深左好多, 同學們自己對果科都冇興趣, 只係單靠form3既成績同前途黎揀, 結果搞到自己讀得好辛苦時臨test exam前面臨巨大壓力, 就算溫幾耐都failed. 理科上到U的確會比文科多選擇, 但係假如讀唔黎既話, 都唔夠分仲點升U?

我自己揀科時都有為前途定興趣諗左好耐, 發現自己其實理科既成績比文科差, 何況自己既興趣係文科到, 所以雖然會讀得辛苦(因為真係好多野背), 不過我都會繼續捱落去, 因為我鐘意history同geog, 而且我亦係學校既geog好彩地拎左第一.

各位家長係子女揀科時, 不如比佢地講下自己既意見, 清楚佢地點諗先至再同佢地分析利弊, 如果唔係佢地上到form4就會讀得辛苦.


2. BAFS同econ都係商科, 不過所學既野都唔同. 之前都有家長係教育局搵到條link講解兩科所學既野. 大家可以上返去睇下.

econ呢科同舊制既econ差唔多, 主要係理論多. 而BAFS其實係由3科(business, accounting同finance) 組成. Econ理論較多, 所以基本上背晒就ok, 但係BAFS係新科, 全香港所有老師之前都只係教過account,而且要背好多format.


至於上到U先揀呢兩科讀都冇問題, 依家應該冇一間U要求要讀呢兩科先讀得商科野, 而且U既課程其實都係要讀返晒中學要讀既野然後先improve上去.








3. 大家千其唔好有一個錯既觀念, 認為讀M先至有U收. M1同M2其實當半科計, 讀唔讀都冇問題咖!!!!!! M1係統計同微積分, M2就係代數同微積分, M1比M2容易, 但係老師們都比較會建議讀商既同學讀M1, 讀physics/ 想做工程師既就讀M2. M1/2同ce年代既A. math同AL既pure math差唔多, 所以數學底子唔好既就盡量唔好讀.




4. combined science 既幾個唔同組合其實都有所唔同, 而且讀既野比只係讀一科理科既較少(類似ASL phy/ chem/ bio), 如果揀既其實讀chem+bio出路會多D, 因為chem+bio可以讀醫科, 其他既都會少一D出路. 不過如果要讀醫既我suggest都係揀返chem+bio而唔係combined science既chem+bio




假如大家仲有咩問題, 可以搵我=] 我會盡我所能解答大家既問題=]

Thanks for your detail and enlightening info and comments. I am so glad you can manage your study and plan for your future strategically.

I just add some comment on your point no. 3. Extended modules of Maths are not 100% necessary for university admission in all subjects, but need to double check with the admission requirement of individual program. Some subjects related to Finance and Economics also need M1 or M2, not necessary just Science or Engineering programs.

If student may study in UK, pls check with UCAS, without M! or M2, you only score half the points, you may lose the opportunity.

Also, some parents here always preach the standard of HKDSE similar to HKCEE and not HKAL for all subjects. But you highlight the standard more outweighed to HKAL instead of HKCEE, kids and parents need to pay special attention.

ANChan59,

I am just thinking if M1 or M2 should be chosen.
Between M1 / M2

1.  Which one is more useful for future studies? (Assume not considering to be a mathematician, but in other scientific / financial studies.)

2.  Which one requires less time?

3.  Which one is easier to get a high score?

4.  Which one is more widely accepted as an entrance requirement by universities in HK/overseas? Or all universities see M1/M2 are the same?

I would be grateful if you could give me your comments.
