Due to resource constraints many popular subjects have quotas imposed on them. It is important that students with firm preferences in terms of the subjects they wish to study should direct inquiries to the relevant faculty office for first-year quotas (except for psychology) and the relevant department for first-year psychology, second and third-year quotas. Quota selection is based on academic merit of students and/or candidature in a designated course and is administered by the relevant faculty or department.
Subjects where demand for places usually exceeds supply are: ANT2011/ANT2022, BCH2011/BCH2022, GEN2011/GEN2022, IMM3011/IMM3022, MIC2011/MIC2022, PHA3011/PHA3022 and PHY2011/PHY2022.
It should be noted that financial constraints may make it necessary to reduce the number of subjects and optional units being offered, although the faculty would only withdraw the offering of any listed subjects in exceptional circumstances.
