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. Currently, PGH consists of 6 buildings (S1, S2, S3, S4, W31 partial floors and W32), offering around 3,200 bed spaces. All the rooms in PGH are fully furnished and air-conditioned (excluding personal necessities and beddings such as pillow, blanket, coverlet, bed sheet, etc.). In addition, PGH provides public facilities such as TV room, study room, small indoor sport venue, etc. Dormitory at W32 is equipped with a central cooking area, which is convenient for residents who have cooking needs.
At PGH, we strive to create a friendly and healthy living environment, to promote students’ academic, research and employment ability.
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 location and the size of the unit. Students should have sufficient financial resources to select the location and the size of the unit according to their financial abilities and needs.
