Frequently asked question

What's the relationship between CUHK and CUHK-Shenzhen?

CHUK-Shenzhen and CUHK are two distinct campuses, but share the well-known, high quality CUHK brand of academic excellence. Close cooperation ensures that these parallel campuses maintain consistent, high academic standards. The graduates of CHUK-Shenzhen will get a degree certification from CUHK.

What is the difference between full-time mode and part-time mode?

Compared to the 18 month full-time programme, the duration for part-time is 24 months, and timing of classes is different. Considering that most part-time students have full-time careers, all part-time courses are offered during non-business hours. All part-time courses are taught at our Futian campus, while the full-time programme splits their time between Longgang and Futian campuses. The part-time and full-time programmes both share the same high-quality faculty and senior practitioners. However, the scholarships for full-time students do not apply to part-time students.

How do you consider the application?

The evaluation process is divided into two steps. First, we screen applicant information against our internal guidelines across several metrics: GPA, academic honors, internships, extracurricular actives, and English language skills, among other categories. Then, finalists are invited to Shenzhen, to participate in an entrance evaluation session. These sessions consist of a group interview among 7-8 people addressing a financial problem. Applicants display their team skills and ability to think “on their feet”. The discussion language is Chinese and duration here is about 30 to 40 minutes. Following this is a personal interview in English of 15-20 minutes in duration, where students present their personal qualities and answer related questions. A final requirement is an examination which includes English-language essay questions, and several statistical and calculus questions.
