Welcome to The Chinese University of Hong Kong!

 

As you are about to embark on a new journey at CUHK, making plans ahead at this stage of transition would have a significant impact on the fruitfulness of your university life in Hong Kong.

 

Joining the orientation programme organised by the University, Colleges, as well as Faculties/ Departments would definitely give you a head start – helping you to familiarize yourself with the campus, understand your studies and build friendships. There are also virtual meetings arranged by the Learning Enhancement Officers (LEOs) to facilitate your better adjustment to your studies at CUHK and life in Hong Kong.

 

Various online resources are available for you to become better equipped for the potential challenges ahead. Meanwhile, you may check out the Compass for Non-local Students (coming soon) prepared by LEOs for non-local newcomers, which briefs you on the important documents that you need to apply for, along with useful information relating to the campus facilities, local transportation and Hong Kong culture.

 

From July forward, further information will be made available on this webpage, giving you complete and practical materials for a seamless transition to the new life. Please visit this website regularly for updates.
