CUHK held its Orientation Day for Undergraduate Admissions on 8 and 9 October, attracting some 89,000 visitors, many of them secondary school teachers, students and their parents, to our campus.
A sharing session was arranged on the morning of 8 October to kick off the event. In the sharing session Prof. Joseph J.Y. Sung, CUHK Vice-Chancellor, and some CUHK students shared what they felt about the various facets of university life on our campus, including the four-year curriculum, the college system, general education, exchange programmes and the I•CARE programme.
The three admission talks held that day for applicants with the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education qualifications drew a full house. In the talks, Prof. Hau Kit-tai, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, introduced the audience to the new four-year undergraduate curriculum, while Mrs. Chow Chan Man-yuen Grace, Director of Admissions and Financial Aid, explained the admission arrangements when the new curriculum is implemented next year. There were other admission talks and Q&A sessions delivered in Cantonese, English and Putonghua to familiarize visitors with the University’s admission requirements.
In addition to admission talks, exhibitions, demonstrations, visits to laboratories and other facilities were organized by the eight Faculties. The nine Colleges of the University organized open houses, information sessions and set up booths to give the visitors a better understanding of the characteristics of CUHK Colleges.
