CW Chu College

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is a public research university in Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong. Established in 1963 as a federation of three colleges – Chung Chi College, New Asia College, and United College, it is Hong Kong's second-oldest university, with the first being the Uni

versity of Hong Kong. Predecessors of the university included St. John's University, Lingnan University and Yenching University, alongside 10 other Christian universities in China. The university is organised into nine constituent colleges and eight academic faculties, and remains the only collegiate university in Hong Kong. The university operates in both English and Chinese. CUHK's affiliated faculty members and researchers include one Nobel Prize laureate and one Dan David Prize winner. It is the only university in Hong Kong that appears in the Nobel Prize Laureates and Research Affiliations list published by the Nobel Prize organisation. This recognition is attributed to Professor Charles Kuen Kao, who was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics and was affiliated with CUHK at the time of the award.
