MUST is accepting applications from September 12, 2023 to January 31, 2024 for fall admission to its Master's and Doctoral degree programs for the 2024/2025 academic year.
The application cycle for postgraduate and doctoral programs in Macau is much shorter than that of Hong Kong, so take your time! The good thing is that there are more bilingual programs and more Chinese-taught programs in Macau than in Hong Kong!
Knockout!
Same thing: independent enrollment on a first-come, first-served, merit-based basis
