According to the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), the relationship between its campus in Sha Tin, Hong Kong and CUHK–Shenzhen is "one brand, two campuses". Both campuses are supervised by the same Senate and share the same academic structure and curriculum design.[2] Graduates from CUHK–Shenzhen are awarded degrees of CUHK, the same as those awarded to CUHK graduates (but denoting "Shenzhen" in the main text),[2][3] as well as a graduation certificate conferred by CUHK–Shenzhen.
As of 2024[update], more than 10,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students are studying at CUHK-Shenzhen.[4]
History
editOn 21 March 2014, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China officially sent a letter to the People's Government of Guangdong Province, agreeing to approve the establishment of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen.[5] The university was established under a partnership between the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Shenzhen University.[6]
Upon the establishment of the new institution, some Chinese University of Hong Kong alumni in Hong Kong criticized the similarity between the CUHK and CUHK–Shenzhen graduation certificates. A CUHK alumni concern group stated that the certificate should include the word Shenzhen in the title, and should mention Shenzhen University. A spokeswoman for CUHK stated that "As [the] CUHK–Shenzhen degree is conferred by CUHK, the format of the certificate follows that of CUHK's", and that the layout of the certificate was officially approved by the CUHK Senate in 2015.[7]
Academics
editThe language of instruction is all in English, except for physical education and Chinese language courses, which are bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese.[8][9]
CUHK degrees will be conferred to students of CUHK–Shenzhen who meet the requirements of their degree programs.[10] A graduation certificate will also be conferred by CUHK-Shenzhen.[11]
There are three "Nobel laureate research labs" in CUHK-Shenzhen led by the Nobel laureates Arieh Warshel, Brian Kobilka and Aaron Ciechanover.[12]
CUHK–Shenzhen participated in the signing ceremony for the jointly initiated "Shenzhen International Friendship City University League", which was initiated by Southern University of Science and Technology, on 9 July 2014.[13]
On 30 April 2015, the fifth annual Presidents Forum of Worldwide Universities Network convened at the campus.[14]
