Note: The College requires students (admitted since AY2026/2027) in this programme to declare any records of conviction or prosecution for sex-related offences in Hong Kong or elsewhere, as well as any ongoing criminal proceedings or investigations, prior to undertaking teaching practice. The College reserves the right to deny students with such records access to the school attachment and block teaching practice - thereby preventing them from meeting graduation requirements.

  • Tung Wah College will adjust the tuition fee of its programmes based on the Composite Consumer Price Index to be announced by the Government annually.
  • Tuition fees are normally charged by two instalments per annum and are payable before the commencement of each semester.  New students are required to settle the balance of the tuition fee for the first semester (i.e. after deducting deposit) upon programme registration in August.
  • Students are required to pay additional fees for all retake/additional courses which would be charged at the rate of the normal cohort and be calculated by the number of credits to be taken. Please refer the details in the College’s Fees Regulation at https://www.twc.edu.hk/en/Administration_Units/fo/our_service/student-area.
  • This represents the programme fee after deduction of subsidy of the Non-means-tested Subsidy Scheme for Self-financing Undergraduate Studies in Hong Kong (NMTSS).  In 2025/2026 academic year, the annual subsidy is $35,120.  The annual subsidy amount may vary in each academic year subject to the decision by the Education Bureau.
  • All fees paid are non-refundable and non-transferable.
  • Following the Government's announcement on 31 July 2025 regarding the revised eligibility criteria for government-subsidised post-secondary student places and subsidies, the new arrangements will take effect from the 2027/28 academic year (with the application cycle commencing in October 2026).  Students will be required to pay the non-subsidised tuition fees if they do not meet the updated eligibility criteria for government subsidies.
