The Chinese University of Hong Kong[b] (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,[5] it is Hong Kong's second-oldest university.

CUHK is now 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, though classes 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.[6]

Alumni Affairs Office, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. 1 August 2006. Archived from the original on 14 August 2014. Dr Choh-Ming Li, the first Vice-Chancellor of the University, elaborated on the name[.] [...] He said: "Another common interpretation given to the name of the University is that the word Chinese means Chinese culture, hence implying that the University is a university of Chinese culture. Of course no university can be separated from its national setting.["] [...] Dr. Li further pointed out that "all universities established in China or by Chinese overseas are Chinese universities, ours is The Chinese University, with a capital T, in order to put into sharp focus the special mission of this University".
