Embark a new academic journey in The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 27 October 2021 – Only a forward-looking institute can
help students’ research stand ahead in the industry in this ever-changing era.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is a globally and regionally recognised research university
ranked 39^th in the World^# and 7^th in Asia^*.
As a pioneering institution, CUHK is the centre of excellence for cutting-edge,
interdisciplinary research with a global impact while making contributions to
society by transposing research findings into practical utilisation.

 

CUHK is a first-class
comprehensive research university with both a local and an international outlook,
we aim at cultivating higher degree graduates to serve the increasingly sophisticated
needs of the society and contribute to the pool of human knowledge
through top-quality research. There are around 13,000 current postgraduate
students, of whom a substantial proportion are non-local.

 

CUHK offers over 220 postgraduate programmes in a wide range of
disciplines by eight Faculties, including Arts, Business Administration,
Education, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Science, Social Science, and
Inter-Faculty leading to a variety of study options to suit the different needs
of students, ranging from the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Master of
Philosophy (MPhil) to Taught Doctoral degree, Taught Master’s degree,
Postgraduate Diploma, and Postgraduate Certificate.

 

Taking pride in its
culture of teaching quality, CUHK attaches great importance to teaching and
learning, so that students can benefit from an education of the highest
possible quality. Providing professional guidance builds students’ emerging
academic identities and wisdom. CUHK is here to help students realise their
potential, develop their skills, and find the best-suited career opportunities.

 

“Nurturing the next generation of researchers
in an increasingly volatile and uncertain world is very challenging. It carries
great social responsibilities as the graduates are likely to become the elite
learners of society. It also requires careful and responsive guidance to build
the students’ emerging academic identities, and wisdom to discern what is
doable and worthy.”

[Prof. Ching Sing CHAI, Associate Dean (Postgraduate Studies), Faculty
of Education, and Professor, Department of Curriculum and Instruction]

 

“A supervisor should provide high
standards of thesis supervision and a high-quality research environment,
communicate with students promptly and regularly in person, have a clear
project plan and offer guidance for high impact publications and international
conferences.”

[Prof. Jun YU,
Assistant Dean (Mainland Affairs), Faculty of Medicine, and Professor,
Department of Medicine and Therapeutics]
