Published by the University of Hong Kong, 2026 Over 28,000 non-local undergraduate applications Of which, the number of applications for international undergraduates increased from the previous year 77% 。 At the same time, it was pointed out that approximately 1,800 non-local undergraduate students were enrolled in the current school year and remained within the policy quota ceiling.
We need to separate the number of applications from the number of admissions.
The official HKU campus report confirmed an increase of 28,000 applications compared to 77 per cent. The Standard in Hong Kong also reported that some 1,800 non-local undergraduate students were enrolled in the school year. The two figures, which represent the number of applications and the actual number of admissions, cannot be translated directly into individual admission rates, as the composition of applications, the selection of courses and the repetition of applications are not fully known.
According to the school, the geopolitical environment has made it possible for more overseas students to consider Hong Kong, and in the future there is still a desire to enrol more highly qualified international students, but the admission is maintained on the basis of the applicant ' s conditions.
Impact on applicants in Taiwan
The large increase in the number of applications represents a simultaneous increase in competition and choice. Taiwan students should prepare for academic achievement, language certification, activity experience and interviews in accordance with the actual requirements of the respective faculties, and do not consider the overall expansion of the quota as a personal acceptance guarantee; Non-native school fees should also be compared with the cost of accommodation.
