KI is considered a H2 subject and can be considered as a contrasting subject to both Arts and Science. Students who take KI need not take a H1 content-based subject. Possible subject combinations and subjects to be counted in the University Score are given here.
A H1 subject will be counted as half of a H2 in terms of points computation.

SAT is not required for applicants presenting A-level certificates.
