Disclaimer: not for IIM (IIM plan on their own)

16-18 credit Fall:

HMAW1905B [1]
One of
- MATH1012 [4] if HKDSE M2 < 3
- MATH1013 [3] if HKDSE M2 >= 3
- MATH1023 [3] if and only if you love proofs or aiming for MATH double major
- can do MATH1003 [3] if you only aim for EVMT
One of (E-Comm)
- WIP: To be revamp in 2024-25
One of (NOT for DSCT/RMBI/EVMT)
- PHYS1112 [3] safe choice — can act as a required course for all majors
- PHYS1312 [3] if and only if you are a PHYS god
- another Science Intro course in the same “OR” group for your aimed major [3]
First engineering introduction course: One of
- COMP1021 [3] (required for all majors)
- C placement test + COMP2011 [4] (no C placement test then does not count, and you can file course deviation for COMP1021)
- C placement test + COMP2012H [5] (no C placement test then does not count, and you can file course deviation for COMP1021)
Engineering Intro or Major Headstart [3-4]

17-20 credit Spring:

HMAW1905B [2]
One of (NOT for EVMT)
- MATH1014 [3]
- MATH1024 [3] if and only if you love proofs or aiming for MATH double major
One of
- LANG1403 [3] if you did LANG1402 in Fall
- LANG2030H [3] if you did LANG1404 in Fall or obtained A+ in LANG1403 (NOT for RMBI/EVMT)
  - Remark: not recommended if you hate LANG courses or CLE
- Another Engineering Intro or Major Headstart or Common Core for LANG1403 non-A+ [3-4]
Engineering intro or major headstart [3-4]
Non-LANG good grade Common Core that you are motivated to study or Major Headstart [3-4]
Non-LANG good grade Common Core that you are motivated to study or Major Headstart [3-4]

IMPORTANT

For best-24 credits in Major Selection Exercise, you must have at least 2 engineering intro courses or else F grade(s) will be counted. One of them is COMP1021.
Pick another from (in order of USTSpace ratings, from best to worst, source):

Course Code	Course Title	Credits	Grade Points (Best to Worst, 4.3 to 0.0)
COMP1021	Introduction to Computer Science	3	3.6

ISDN1001	Introduction to Integrative Systems and Design	3	2
ISDN1006	Human-Centered Innovation	3	1.5
CIVL1210	Fundamentals of Green Buildings	3	3

If you’re not aiming for COMP/CPEG/DSCT/RMBI/EVMT, please choose your aimed major’s introduction course first to not waste credits. Only plan major headstarts after picking your second engineering intro course!!!
