With the collective efforts of the University community, including its staff, students and alumni, milestones were achieved on many fronts, and the University was making remarkable progress in the course of developing into a leading institution of higher learning in the region. Magnet for Top Students The Chinese University continued to be the preferred tertiary institution for top-quality students in Hong Kong and in the region. In 2007–08, we admitted 182 outstanding Secondary Six students through the Early Admissions Scheme, taking the largest share among the three participating local institutions for three consecutive years. Of the top 1,000 Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS) entrants, 478 were admitted to CUHK. The variety of our student talents was enhanced with the admission of other young people of great potential in leadership, the arts and the sports, through channels such as the School Principal’s Nomination Scheme, the Self Recommendation Scheme and the Sports Scholarship Scheme. We also admitted 251 mainland students from 25 provinces and municipalities through the National Unified Universities and Colleges Entrance Examination System, about 30 of whom were ranked among the top ten in their respective provinces and municipalities. The mix of our student population was further enriched by the presence of young recruits from Canada, Finland, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Mauritius, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, and the US, making ours a truly international campus epitomizing the philosophy of ‘education without borders’. Quality education CUHK was the first local tertiary institution to have been audited for its education quality by the Quality Assurance Council (QAC) of the University Grants Committee (UGC). The QAC released the Report of a Quality Audit of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in September 2008, which confirmed that ‘ CUHK is providing a high quality student learning experience that reflects its mission and role statement, underpinned by good quality assurance
