All undergraduate students must successfully complete two 3-credit English language subjects as<br />
stipulated by the <strong>University</strong> (Table 1.1.1). <strong>The</strong>se subjects are designed to suit students’ different<br />
levels of English language proficiency at entry, as determined by their HKDSE score or the<br />
English Language Centre (ELC) entry assessment (when no HKDSE score is available).<br />
Students who can demonstrate that they have achieved a level beyond that of the LCR proficient<br />
level subjects as listed in Table 1.1.2 (based on an assessment by ELC) may apply for subject<br />
exemption or credit transfer of the LCR subject or subjects concerned.<br />
