Applicants holding alternative qualifications with outstanding academic result and good interview performance may be given a conditional offer of guaranteed admission into a programme of their choice (from Year 2 to Year 4). This will be conducted on a case-by-case basis. Other than ‘guaranteed’ admission cases, priority of programme choice from Year 2 to Year 4 will be based on students’ GPA of all discipline-specific requirement subjects and CBS1903 Introduction to AI and Data Analytics for Language Professionals at the end of their first year studies.
Applicants to the BScST programme should be able to communicate verbally in both Cantonese and English effectively.
The option of a Secondary Major in AI and Data Analysis is available to the students in the BA (Hons) in Linguistics and Translation and BSc (Hons) in Language Sciences and Analytics programmes.

The BA(Hons) / BSc(Hons) Scheme in Language Sciences, Translation, and Speech Therapy offers the following degrees: BA (Hons) in Linguistics and Translation; BSc (Hons) in Language Sciences and Analytics; and BSc (Hons) in Speech Therapy.

Students admitted to the Scheme study a common Year 1 curriculum and complete their respective programme (one of the three listed above) in the following 3 years. Students rank their choices of major programme, from the most preferred to the least preferred by the end of Semester 2 of their Year 1 study for CBS’ consideration and approval. The decision to admit a student to a major programme is made by CBS based on the student’s choice and their GPA of DSR Common subjects. An intake quota may apply.

Applicants to BScST should be able to communicate verbally in both Cantonese and English effectively; proficiency in Mandarin (Putonghua) is preferred.
