Joint Admission Examination

The Joint Admission Examination for Macao Four Higher Education Institutions , commonly referred to as the Joint Admission Examination, is a standardized test jointly organized by four higher education institutions in Macau: the University of Macau, Macao Polytechnic University, Macao Institute for [Tourism Studies], and Macau [University of Science and Technology]. It evaluates candidates' abilities in four subjects: Chinese, Portuguese, English, and mathematics. The exam is not the sole criterion for admission, as each institution considers additional factors based on its unique requirements during the evaluation process.
Additional subjects and interviews are organized and announced separately by each institution. The JAE does not set passing or failing standards, instead providing scores for candidates' reference. The exam is typically held in late March or early April each year.

Eligibility

Candidates must meet one of the following criteria:

Have completed senior secondary education and obtained graduation qualifications, or
Be currently enrolled in senior secondary education, or
Be at least 23 years old and possess exceptional talents or conditions despite not meeting the above qualifications.
