A Message from the Director of Admissions and Financial Aid

To keep you abreast with the latest developments of the University and to share with you all the exciting happenings on campus, my Office is issuing an abridged version of CUHK E-News for prospective applicants. Messages from University, sharing by CU's students, campus news and forthcoming events, etc will be the regular features of this newsletter.

CUHK is unique in that it is the only university in Hong Kong that has a college system, where its 10,000 undergraduates learn not only through a comprehensive academic curriculum but also by participating in a wide range of extracurricular activities.

For some of these activities, participation is not restricted to CU members only. You are most welcome to attend a series of public lectures, including those by renowned scholars and prominent leaders from around the world. The University Art Museum is also open to the public, and you may wish to come on a weekend to view its exhibits. A variety of arts and cultural programmes are also being presented on a regular basis at the Sir Run Run Shaw Hall.

Information on the various activities and events will be listed in each issue. We understand that some of you may be studying abroad at the moment and are unable to attend these events. However, the information provided would give you some ideas of the range of activities that are available on campus. For those of you who are here now, you are most welcome to take part in any of the listed activities that is of interest to you.

In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us should you need any information or assistance or you may visit our admissions website at www.cuhk.edu.hk/adm from time to time for the latest news.
