Message from the Vice-Chancellor and President

Thank you very much for visiting the homepage of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).

Founded in 1963, CUHK distinguishes itself as a comprehensive research university with a unique mission to combine tradition with modernity and bring together China and the West. Over the years, it has evolved from a young university built on a barren, rugged hillside to a full-fledged 21st-century academic institution the scholarly output and contributions to the community of which achieve the highest standards of excellence. As the only university in Hong Kong that offers the collegiate experience, CUHK places equal emphasis on the intellectual and moral aspects of education, providing opportunities for whole-person development and global experience.

As a civic university and an active member of international academic alliances, CUHK is committed to social responsibility. Our aspiration is to go far beyond the frontiers of learning and research in different directions so that we can make continuous breakthroughs that are relevant and beneficial to the welfare of the wider community.

Thank you for interest in CUHK. As you explore these pages, I hope you will gain a deeper understanding of the University and render your support for our quest for a more sustainable future.

Dennis Lo Yuk-ming
Vice-Chancellor and President
