In substantive terms, the validity of an overall comparison must be seriously questioned, this qualification stemming primarily but not exclusively from the diverse and characteristic aims of the two programmes. However in a significant number of areas it has proved possible on the basis of fact and judgement to make useful comparisons which should prove. of value to decision-makers.

This is The
Most students have two 'A' levels of relatively good quality in a strongly competitive situation. in excess of the stated minimum requirement. mathematical background of certain students could be questionable.
HKBC Factual
2 'A' levels are required and students usually have grades D/E in Physics and Pure (or Applied) Mathematics.
