The Mainland Higher Education Expo 2023-24 will be held online from December 3 to 9.

Jointly organised by the Ministry of Education and the Education Bureau, the expo will enable students aspiring to pursue further studies on the Mainland to gain a better understanding on the Scheme for Admission of Hong Kong Students to Mainland Higher Education Institutions for the 2023-24 academic year.

The 132 Mainland higher education institutions participating in the admission scheme will set up virtual exhibition booths to provide information on aspects such as faculties and subjects, admission criteria, the number of student places and tuition fees.

Ministry of Education representatives will explain the scheme’s application procedures and admission arrangements via live webcast.

As part of the sharing sessions that will be held during the expo, representatives of Mainland institutions will discuss topics on the characteristics of individual programmes, while guest speakers will provide career prospects analysis.

There will also be a discussion of study experience by Hong Kong students who graduated from Mainland institutions.

These sharing sessions will be broadcast live on December 3 and 4 from 10am to 5.30pm. Playback will be available online thereafter.

Additionally, a handbook on the scheme, compiled by the bureau together with the China Education Exchange (Hong Kong) Centre and the Hok Yau Club, will be delivered through schools to all Secondary 6 students in January 2023.
