Malaysia school year starts January
Hong Kong (TWC) intake September
The academic year works differently in Malaysia and Hong Kong. Malaysian schools and pre-university programmes usually start in January — most secondary schools and STPM programmes run roughly January to November/December, and Chinese independent high schools (UEC) also follow a January-start year. In Hong Kong, Semester 1 starts in September. Plan ahead: check how your UEC or STPM/SPM exam dates line up with the September intake, and make sure your results and English evidence will be ready in time. A Youth Dorm representative can help you map your exam calendar to the TWC timeline.
