University is a place not only for pursuing knowledge and excellence but also for defining your lifelong goals, learning to be independent and responsible, and expanding your social circles. In the process, you may feel lost and defeated, but hang in there, for there will be a way out. You may also encounter people who are very different from you, but don’t run away from them. Bear with them, listen patiently, and speak slowly, so that everyone is uplifted.
May I wish you all a fruitful university life!

Welcome on board!
Welcome to join the big family of The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
CUHK is a world-class institution that is committed to encouraging our students to pursue their personal and academic growth. Our teachers, who are experts and leaders in their fields, put great emphasis on creating an inclusive learning environment where students from diverse backgrounds and cultures and with different perspectives and views can appreciate and learn from one another.
A journey of knowledge and self-discovery that is challenging yet exhilarating and rewarding awaits you. May you gain not only knowledge but also precious memories at CUHK.
It is my real pleasure to welcome you to the Faculty of Science!
“The path from dreams to success does exist. May you have the vision to find it, the courage to get on to it, and the perseverance to follow it” by Kalpana Chawla, an American Astronaut, is one of my favourite quotes.
The Faculty of Science believes that “Science Empowers Your Dreams” and “Learn Science to Make the World Better”. We encourage you to dream, think big and believe in yourself to realise your full potential through education in science at CUHK.
May you dream of the unattainable dreams; overcome the invincible enemy; dare go where the brave dare not go before; gallop headlong toward the unknown territories; gather strength and courage after a turbulent time and reach out to the unreachable stars! (Jonathan Livingstone Seagull)
As you pursue your dreams, I'd like to share a quote from Stephen Hawking with you: "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at." It reminds us that no matter what obstacles we encounter, we have the strength to overcome them. Never give up on your dreams as you navigate university life's challenges. Upon embarking on your new journey, the Office of Student Affairs is here to assist you every step of the way. Keep a positive attitude, study hard, and believe in yourself. We take pride in your success. Please don't hesitate to contact us whenever you need assistance or guidance.
