As a non-chinese speaking (NCS\/ \u975e\u83ef\u8a9e\u5b78\u751f) student, the path to university in Hong Kong may be different from your peers. This article will hopefully aid you in understanding whether you are qualified, what resources you have, and how your NCS status might affect your JUPAS application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am I Qualified as an NCS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, who is considered an NCS? You are considered an NCS by JUPAS if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. You’ve studied chinese for less than 6 years<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. You’ve studied mainstream chinese for less than 6 years<\/strong> (i.e. you\u2019ve been studying a simplified Chinese syllabus or have been actively participating in Student Support Programs<\/strong> (SSP) with an alternate Chinese curriculum);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. You speak primarily english\/ other mother-tongues at home (check with your career teachers to learn more).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    The specified circumstances are: The applicants have learnt Chinese language for less than 6 years<\/span><\/strong> while receiving primary and secondary education.  This caters specifically to applicants who have a late start in the learning of Chinese language (e.g.<\/em> due to their settlement in Hong Kong well past the entry level) or who have been educated in Hong Kong sporadically; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    or <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The applicants have learnt Chinese language for 6 years or more in schools, but have been taught an adapted and simpler Chinese language curriculum <\/span>not normally applicable to the majority of applicants in local schools.<\/p>\nJUPAS: Alternative Qualifications for Chinese Language; https:\/\/www.jupas.edu.hk\/en\/page\/detail\/547\/#note<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    If you relate to any of the above three, then you can be considered an NCS with JUPAS. For further clarification, you may discuss with the teachers at school. There are many programs available to aid you in your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
