Prof. Laurence J. LauI am most delighted that you are considering joining the 3,000 non-local undergraduate, postgraduate and exchange students at The Chinese University of Hong Kong .

Every year the University attracts an increasing number of non-local undergraduates to its campus, thanks to not only a growing global interest in China – its history, culture, society and economic development, but also an enduring fascination with Hong Kong itself – a vibrant metropolis where East meets West .

We at The Chinese University take great pride in the quality of education we offer. Here you will enjoy a comprehensive learning experience on the doorstep of one of the world’s oldest civilizations and fastest growing economies . Here you will gain new insights into the language and culture of China , and the dynamism of Hong Kong as an international business and financial centre . Our University is fully committed to excellence in teaching, and is widely recognized for our many accomplishments in research. We have also forged academic links with institutions of higher learning around the world, and reached exchange agreements with over 200 universities, including Cornell, Harvard, Peking , Yale, the Copenhagen Business School and the University of California system .

'Education without borders' is what we believe in and dedicate ourselves to. I f you are adventurous, intellectually curious, and eager to spread your wings in this part of the world , we welcome your application and will do all we can to offer you a whole new educational experience .

Lawrence J. Lau
