Hong Kong Public Universities to Raise Non‑Local Tuition by Up to 26% for 2027‑28

Hong Kong’s public universities announced that undergraduate tuition for non‑local students will rise by up to 26 % in the 2027‑28 academic year, the steepest increase seen in recent years. The hike is linked to an expanded quota of international students and the need to cover higher operating costs. Students enrolled in the University of Hong Kong’s medicine and dentistry programmes will face the largest jump, with annual fees climbing 137 % to HK$590,000 (US$75,187) to offset the high costs of clinical training. The new rates will take effect at the start of the 2027‑28 academic year.
