   First round: application in by noon Hong Kong time
   Details

   Published as "25 Nov (noon) 2026 — Submit your application for first-round evaluation"; applications after that are reviewed on a rolling basis, so missing it costs the first round and not the application. The cycle opened on 23 September 2026. Shortlisted students may be interviewed between November and January. Application fee HK$780 (2027 intake).

   First round: predicted grades typed in and documents uploaded
   Hard deadline

   Details

   For first-round applicants. HKU wants results typed into its system, not only uploaded.

   HKU's key dates add "1 Dec 2026 — Input predicted and/or actual grades and submit supporting documents" for first-round applicants. HKU wants the results typed into its application system, not only uploaded, so ask your coordinator for predicted grades before this date.

3. 25 August 2027

   Applications close at noon Hong Kong time
   Hard deadline

   Details

   Well after IB results are published on 6 July 2027, so a late application is possible. HKU also warns non-local applicants to allow four to six weeks for assessment and eight to ten weeks for a visa after an offer, which is the real reason the August date is not as generous as it looks.
