The Chinese University of Hong Kong^[b] (CUHK) is a public research university in Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong.

The institute was founded as a federation of three existing colleges—Chung Chi College, New Asia College, and United College—the oldest of which was founded in 1949.^[4] The Chinese University of Hong Kong holds deep historical roots, positioning CUHK as the most historically rich institution of higher education in Hong Kong. CUHK is now organized 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, although classes in most colleges are taught in English.

Four Nobel laureates are associated with the university, and it is the only tertiary institution in Hong Kong with recipients of the Nobel Prize, Turing Award, Fields Medal, and Veblen Prize sitting as faculty in residence.^[5]
