Academic Excellence

As a top university in Hong Kong and Asia, CUHK aims to nurture students with both specialised knowledge and wisdom for life. The education experience here is distinguished by bilingualism and multiculturalism. As of 2013, four Nobel laureates are associated with the University, making it the only tertiary institution in the territory with recipients of the Nobel Prize, Turing Award, Fields Medal and Veblen Prize as faculty in residence.

Research Achievements

CUHK undertakes a wide range of research programmes in many subject areas, and strives to provide scope for all academic staff to undertake consultancy and collaborative projects with industry. The University’s insistence on the highest standards of research has won it an enviable research reputation. The University also has an excellent record of published research, both in discipline-specific journals and in more high-profile publications such as Science, Nature, and The Lancet.

Global Institute with Strong China Connection

CUHK set up the Shenzhen Research Institute in 2007 to help address that educational and training need in Shenzhen and the Pearl River Delta. Students and alumni could leverage resources and facilities in the institute, such as the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Hub, to seek for start-up support in the Greater Bay Area.
