Senior Year Places / Top-up Degree

To open up more study pathways for sub-degree graduates, from the 2015/16 academic year and in the triennium that follows, the intake of senior year undergraduate places in UGC-funded institutions will progressively increase by a total of 1 000 places, i.e. from 4 000 to 5 000 per annum.  In other words, 5 000 meritorious sub-degree graduates will be able to articulate to subsidised degree programmes each year starting from the 2018/19 academic year. As for self-financing top-up degree programmes, the number of intake places has been increased from around 3 000 in the 2010/11 academic year to about 9 000 in the 2023/24 academic year to provide even more opportunities for sub-degree graduates to pursue further studies.
