Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs for Hybrid Admission Model
If I apply for more than one programme, how many portfolio should I submit?
You are highly recommended to submit only one portfolio even applying for more than one SCM programme.
What is the difference between School-based Admission and Major-based Admission?
Under School-based Admission or Major-based Admission, students will be studying a 4-year bachelor's degree programme.
If you are successfully admitted to School-based admission, you will be studying a broad range of School core courses and Gateway Education (GE) courses during your first year of study. Students need to declare their majors towards the end of first year and will have a free choice of majors after completing one year of study.
Or, if you are successfully admitted to Major-based admission, you will be studying your major directly in your first-year studies.
Is there any advantage if I am admitted to School-Based Admission?
Applicants admitted to School-Based Admission will be studying with an undeclared major during their first year. They will enjoy a free choice of major after completing their first year of study at SCM. Therefore, students can explore the three SCM majors through the first-year studies and student advising before declaring their majors.

FAQs for Portfolio Submission
Any restriction on the content of the portfolio? Can I include indecent content (e.g. Category III materials according to the HK Film Classification System)?
There is no restriction on the content of the portfolio. All applicants should provide an explanation on the material they put into their portfolios.
I have many creative projects which cannot be condensed into 10 pages. What should I do?
Be selective and choose the best works that represent you. Excessive pages may not be reviewed by the panel. Please also refer to the instructions on portfolio submission for details.
How do I put my works such as video, audio, games or programming inside a PDF?
Audio/video contents must be uploaded to on-line video sharing web sites such as YouTube, Vimeo. A maximum of 5 hyperlinks are permitted in the PDF file.

My creative works e.g. screenplay/scripts, story board, video, science project, etc. are produced in Chinese (or use Cantonese for the narration). What should I do?

In case your works are in other non-English languages, you should supplement your portfolio with, whichever appropriate, English sub-title, caption, abstract, etc. to facilitate the review by SCM. Please also refer to the instructions on portfolio submission for details.
My video works are more than 5 minutes long. Can I submit the full video instead of re-edit them?

Yes. You should indicate the number of members involved in the project, the position and percentage of your workload for the project. Please also refer to the instructions on portfolio submission for details.
If I am not satisfied with my submitted portfolio, can I re-submit another one through the System?
