Not sure which route fits?
Share your study profile and a Youth Dorm education specialist will help you identify the right qualification route and English evidence.
Meeting a published minimum requirement does not guarantee admission — TWC makes the final eligibility decision. Entry requirements apply to bachelor’s degree programmes; postgraduate routes are described on the School of Nursing and School of Management pages.
Hong Kong academic calendar — when does the academic year start?
- August — programme registration
- Semester 1 — September to December
- Semester 2 — January to May
- Semester 3 — June to July (certain majors only)
Academic-year timing varies by country, and major examinations fall at different points of the year. In Hong Kong, Semester 1 starts in September. Check how your examination dates line up with the September intake, and make sure your results and English evidence will be ready in time. Each country page includes a note on the academic-year difference; a Youth Dorm representative can help you map your exam calendar to the TWC timeline.
