Dear Postgraduate Students,

The present application is handled according to the “PGH Resident Rules” and the “Guidelines for Assessing the Applications for UM PGH Accommodation” (Click the hyperlink in blue for more details). Due to insufficient bedspaces in PGH, the University can only ensure accommodation for year-one postgraduate students who are in their first year of study and do not have a residence in Macao. After bedspaces are given to the afore-mentioned year-one students, remaining bedspaces are not enough to accommodate all existing students.
