The Student Resources Section of the Student Affairs Office manages the Postgraduate House (hereafter referred to as “PGH”), which mainly offers on-campus accommodation and living services to UM postgraduate students. All the rooms in PGH are fully furnished and air-conditioned, excluding personal necessities and beddings (such as pillow, blanket, coverlet, bed sheet, etc.). PGH offers some of the public facilities (such as TV room, study room, small indoor sport venue, etc.), which can only be used by PGH students.
Due to insufficient bedspace in PGH, according to the “PGH Resident Rules” and the “Guidelines for Assessing the Applications for UM PGH Accommodation”, the University can only ensure accommodation for new postgraduate students of PhD and Master’s Degree Programmes (excluding other Doctoral Degree Programmes and EMBA Programme) who are in their first year of study and do not have a residence in Macao, the accommodation guaranteed period extends from the semester of initial registration to the end of the immediately following semester. Postgraduate students in the aforementioned degree programmes who exceed the accommodation guaranteed period or enter to the second year or beyond of their degree programme will unlikely be offered an accommodation. Students who were not offered a bedspace are required to arrange off-campus accommodation by themselves. For off-campus accommodation information, please refer to Student Resources Section (Student Housing) website (https://srs.sao.um.edu.mo/macau-residential-rental-information).
The monthly rental rate of two bedrooms apartment in urban area ranges from MOP6,000 to MOP15,000, depending on the area and the size of the apartment. Tenants should choose the area according to their needs and financial abilities.
In general, the application period for summer stay and the 1st semester is in March and for the 2nd semester is in November. For new students, eligible students who have accepted the offer from UM will receive email notifications from the Student Resources Section regarding the details of the PGH application.
All postgraduate students are required to submit their applications within the application period.
