Billing Arrangements for Research Postgraduates

The HKSAR Government has announced the tuition fee levels for UGC-funded research postgraduate programmes for the 2025/26 to 2027/28 academic years:

All eligible students in a particular academic year shall be subject to the tuition fee at the prevailing rate of the academic year concerned, rather than being locked at the rate of the academic year of admission.

Tuition fees for research postgraduate students are collected in advance at 6-month intervals throughout the study period. If the tuition fee covered by a debit note spans both the current and the next academic years, the tuition fee adjustment applicable to the new academic year (commencing on 1 August) will be incorporated on a pro-rata basis:

Tuition Fee:

Continuation Fee (all course(s) taken are with zero billing factor *):

Continuation Fee (course(s) taken without zero billing factor *):

* Please refer to the “Course Attribute” under “Course Catalog” in the Chinese University Student Information System (CUSIS) for courses with zero billing factor.

Please refer to the following illustrative examples for reference.

Example 1 (Normal Admission)

Date of admission:                 1 Aug 2025

Normative study end date:  31 Jul 2027

Graduation Date:                    31 Jul 2028

(All course(s) taken are with zero billing factor beyond normative study period)

Example 2 (Deferred Admission)

Date of admission:                1 Oct 2025

Normative study end date:  30 Sep 2027

Graduation Date:                    31 Mar 2028

(Course(s) taken without zero billing factor beyond normative study period)

Example 3 (Deferred Admission & No-pay Leave Taken)

Date of admission:                                    1 Oct 2025

Original normative study end date:        30 Sep 2027

Period of no-pay leave taken:                  1 Jan 2027 – 31 Jan 2027            

Revised normative study end date:        31 Oct 2027

Graduation Date:                                       30 Apr 2028

(All course(s) taken are with zero billing factor beyond normative study period)

* In the above example, since the student takes one-month no-pay leave in Jan 2027, the debit note issuing month originally scheduled in Apr 2027 will be deferred to May 2027.
