2017 Mainland Higher Education Expo to be held on December 2 and 3
******************************************************************
     The 2017 Mainland Higher Education Expo, jointly organised by the Ministry of Education and the Education Bureau (EDB), will be held on December 2 and 3 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wanchai. The Expo will enable students aspiring to pursue further studies on the Mainland to gain better understanding of the Scheme for Admission of Hong Kong Students to Mainland Higher Education Institutions (Admission Scheme) in 2018, and also provide information on the participating institutions and their programmes.
 
     According to the latest information from the Mainland authorities, there will be 102 Mainland higher education institutions participating in the 2018 Admission Scheme. These institutions will set up exhibition booths and organise talks to provide information on aspects such as faculties and subjects, admission criteria, the number of places available and tuition fees. During the event, there will be talks by representatives from the Ministry of Education on details of the application procedures and admission arrangements under the Admission Scheme.
 
     Briefing sessions will be conducted by representatives from the institutions on the characteristics and career prospects of individual programmes. Some Hong Kong graduates from Mainland institutions will talk about their study life on the Mainland at sharing sessions. In addition, representatives from the education and business sectors will give talks on the career prospects of students after their graduation from Mainland higher education institutions.
 
     The EDB and the Hok Yau Club have jointly compiled the "Handbook on the Scheme for the Admission of Hong Kong Students to Mainland Higher Education Institutions". The handbook provides comprehensive information on the scheme and further study on the Mainland. It will be distributed free of charge at the Expo.
 
     The Expo will be open to the public on December 2 (Saturday) from 10am to 7pm and on December 3 (Sunday) from 10am to 6pm at Hall 3C of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wanchai. Admission is free.
