The Mainland Higher Education Expo 2027/28, jointly organised by the Office of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs and the Department of College Students Affairs of the Ministry of Education (MoE), as well as the Education Bureau (EDB), will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai from 5 to 6 December 2026 (Saturday and Sunday).  The Expo aims to provide students aspiring to pursue further studies on the Chinese Mainland, and their parents, with information on the arrangements of the Scheme for Admission of Hong Kong Students to Mainland Higher Education Institutions (Admission Scheme) for the academic year, as well as on students' progression of study.

Focus of the Expo
A total of 169 Mainland higher education institutions from 21 provinces/municipalities and two autonomous regions of the Chinese Mainland are participating in the Admission Scheme.  These institutions will set up exhibition booths to provide information on various aspects, including faculties and subjects, admission criteria, and the number of student places.  Representatives from the MoE will also be present on-site to explain the application procedures and admission arrangements of the Admission Scheme.

A number of sharing sessions will be held during the Expo, covering topics such as an introduction by representatives of Mainland institutions to individual programmes, discussions of study experiences shared by Hong Kong students who graduated from Chinese Mainland institutions, and analyses of career prospects provided by guest speakers.  The Expo also features an Online Platform, where all participating Mainland higher education institutions will set up virtual exhibition booths.

Handbook on the Scheme for Admission of Hong Kong Students to Mainland Higher Education Institutions
In addition, EDB has collaborated with the China Education Exchange (Hong Kong and Macao) Centre and Hok Yau Club to compile the Handbook on the Scheme for Admission of Hong Kong Students to Mainland Higher Education Institutions 2027/28.  This handbook provides comprehensive information on the Admission Scheme and further studies on the Chinese Mainland.  It will be distributed free of charge at the Expo on a first-come, first-served basis, while stocks last.

Details of the Expo and the Admission Scheme are available on the scheme’s website.
