PROGRAMME STRUCTURE All students who are admitted with HKDSE results will start the programme with 3 common semesters, in which they will be provided with a foundation of the various primary activities in the fashion and textiles industry. All students, after the common semesters, will be streamed into one of five specialisms according to their individual preference. For the 2 design specialisms, Design and Knitwear Design & Technology, students have to pass a Design & Drawing Test and/or undergo an interview for admission. A student may elect to take the Design & Drawing Test and/or undergo the interview prior to admission to the Scheme or take the test and undergo the interview at the beginning of the third semester. In principle, all students are offered a free choice of specialisms. However, in view of operational considerations, a contingency procedure will be followed in the rare event that there is oversubscription of a specialism. Each specialism has a threshold student number determined by the teaching resources of the department. The contingency procedure will take effect when the threshold is reached. In the contingency procedure, students are required to declare a list of selected specialisms in their order of preference. Students who have applied to an oversubscribed specialism will be placed on a waiting list in accordance with their academic performance during the past 3 semesters. Students with less satisfactory performance will be given their second preference on their list of selected specialisms. In each subsequent semester after admission to a specialism, compulsory core subjects of each specialism will be offered, and a wide range of elective subjects will also be included to enrich the learning experience of students. Furthermore, students will undertake mandatory language and general education subjects as well as take part in the WIE to fulfil the general university requirements. Students who are admitted via senior year placement will start their specialism study at the time of admission. These students are expected to complete the programme in 2 years with a maximum registration period of 4 years.
