Latest changes in admission to police schools

Double the admission combination for police schools

In 2025, 8 police schools will recruit more than 2,300 students using three methods: directly recruiting students who have won national and international competitions according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Public Security; based on the results of the Ministry of Public Security's assessment exam combined with international foreign language certificates; considering assessment scores with high school graduation exam results.

In the final method, the admission score is the sum of the three graduation exam scores according to the combination (accounting for 40%) and the assessment test score of the Ministry of Public Security (accounting for 60%), plus priority points, regions and bonus points. This formula is similar to last year, but the number of admission combinations increases from 7 to 15.

This is to accommodate the first batch of candidates graduating from the general education program in 2018. Two new subjects appearing in the groups are Technology and Information Technology.

The list of 15 admission combinations to police schools in 2025 is as follows:

TT	Combination code	Subject
1	A00	Math, Physics, Chemistry
2	A01	Math, Physics, English
3	B00	Math, Chemistry, Biology

Adjustments in 2025

Enrollment in full-time university level at People's Public Security academies and schools in 2025 will basically remain stable as in 2024. However, there will be some adjustments to accommodate the first high school graduation exam implemented under the new general education program in 2018; the 2025 university enrollment regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training and the new organizational structure of the Ministry of Public Security.

Regarding admission methods, in 2025, the Ministry of Public Security will continue to use 3 admission methods including:

Method 1: Directly recruit excellent students who have achieved high scores in national and international excellent student competitions according to current admission regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training and regulations of the Ministry of Public Security;

Method 2: Admission combines international language certificates with the results of the Ministry of Public Security's assessment test;

Method 3: Admission combines high school graduation exam results with assessment test results of the Ministry of Public Security.

However, this year the Ministry of Public Security has made some adjustments to Method 2 and Method 3.

Specifically as follows: Adjust Method 2 (admission through international foreign language certificates) in the direction that police academies and schools do not directly admit candidates with international foreign language certificates equivalent to IELTS (Academic) with a score of 7.5 or higher as in previous years, but convert them to the equivalent of the score the candidate has obtained through the international foreign language certificate (the converted score will gradually increase corresponding to the candidate's certificate exam results).

Expanding the recruitment source for candidates with international foreign language certificates combined with the Ministry of Public Security's Assessment Test scores, the admission requirements require candidates to have an IELTS (Academic) certificate of 5.5 or higher (equivalent to level B2 according to the European Reference Framework) or other international foreign language certificates of equivalent value; academic performance in grades 10, 11, 12 is good or higher; the average foreign language score in high school years is 7.0 or higher (the certificate is recognized by the Ministry of Education and Training and does not use the Home Edition version).

In Method 3, the Ministry of Public Security adjusted the 2025 Assessment Test in accordance with the changes of the Ministry of Education and Training. The reference test of the 2025 Assessment Test of the Ministry of Public Security has been announced to be consistent with the 2018 General Education Program. In 2025, the Assessment Test of the Ministry of Public Security includes 4 test codes. The total test time is 180 minutes in the form of a written test. Candidates choose 1 of the 4 test codes to take the test according to their strengths.

The admission score is still the total score of 3 subjects in the admission combination to the Police Academy (accounting for 40%) and the assessment test score of the Ministry of Public Security converted to a 30-point scale (accounting for 60%) rounded to 2 decimal places, plus regional priority points, subject priority points according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, and bonus points according to the regulations of the Ministry of Public Security.

Candidates who have met the preliminary conditions, submitted their application to the Police Academy, participated in the assessment test of the Ministry of Public Security in 2025, registered their official admission wishes to the Police Academy as their first choice, ensuring the admission conditions according to the registration combination, admission region, ensuring the input threshold according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training and the regulations of the Ministry of Public Security.
