Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Initial Application
Applications open annually through the UWC Hong Kong National Committee (for Hong Kong residents) or the UWC Global Selection Programme (for overseas applicants). Candidates must complete an online form, provide transcripts, and submit written responses about motivation and community involvement.
2. Assessment Stage
Applicants shortlisted by the Hong Kong National Committee attend interviews and group activities that assess values aligned with the UWC mission, interpersonal skills, and cultural awareness. For international applicants, assessments follow the same principles but are coordinated by the global UWC system.
3. Selection and Nomination
Successful applicants are nominated to LPCUWC by their National Committee or through the Global Selection Programme. The College then confirms placement based on available spaces and scholarship allocations.
4. Offer and Enrolment
Offers include information about fees, scholarship awards (if applicable), and enrolment procedures. Admitted students and their families are guided through visa applications (if needed), health documentation, and arrival planning.
5. Orientation and Induction
All students attend a compulsory orientation programme upon arrival, covering academic expectations, pastoral support, and the school’s community living guidelines.
The school does not publicly specify the use of a waitlist or pool system.
LPCUWC provides need-based scholarships to ensure access regardless of family income. Awards are granted primarily through the UWC Hong Kong Committee or UWC International Office, depending on the application route. Scholarships can cover full or partial tuition, boarding, and associated expenses. The selection process considers financial need, merit, and alignment with UWC values. All applicants are automatically considered for scholarships during admissions; there is no separate application form.
