27 Fall DDL Guide: Undergraduate and Postgraduate Deadlines

Key deadlines for 27 Fall undergraduate and postgraduate applications in Hong Kong, including early rounds and rolling admissions.

Undergraduate Deadlines

For the 27 Fall intake, Hong Kong universities have set specific deadlines for undergraduate applications. The main round typically closes in early to mid December. Some universities also offer an early round with a deadline in mid November, and a late round in early January. Admissions are on a rolling basis after the main round, but early application is recommended.

Postgraduate Deadlines

Postgraduate taught programmes have varied deadlines, often in December to March for 27 Fall entry. Some programmes have multiple rounds, with the first round closing as early as October. Research postgraduate programmes may have a priority deadline in December and a final deadline in April. It is crucial to check the specific programme’s deadline, as they differ by faculty.
