UM starts accepting undergraduate applications from mainland students on 3 May

The University of Macau (UM) starts accepting applications for its undergraduate programmes from mainland students (Gaokao candidates) from 31 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions across the country on 3 May. Eligible applicants can submit their applications through UM’s official website. The deadline for applications is 5:00pm on 26 June.

Approved by the Ministry of Education, UM’s admissions for mainland students are not included in the nationwide college admissions scheme in the mainland. Therefore, applying for UM’s undergraduate programmes will not affect students’ applications to mainland universities. In addition, UM does not entrust any institutions or intermediaries to process student admissions and applications. All applicants must complete the application procedures on the official website of UM.

Eligible applicants must have taken the national college entrance exam (Gaokao) in 2024 and achieved the scores required for admissions to key universities in China, as well as a score of 110 or above for the English subject. UM offers full scholarships (waiver of tuition and accommodation fees) to applicants with excellent Gaokao results. In addition, the university offers special scholarships for students from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Applicants who will take the Gaokao in Beijing, Guangdong, and Zhuhai, as well as those residing and studying in Hengqin, will also receive additional scores.

UM also admits mainland students who have completed an international curriculum or attained international examination results instead of Gaokao results. Applicants must be recent secondary school graduates. Eligible applicants can submit their applications through UM’s official website between 8 May to 22 May.
