Hong Kong City University

Since its establishment in 1984, CityU has been endeavouring to provide quality education to the Hong Kong community and meet the needs of our knowledge-based society. During the past 20 years, it has grown from a small institution, housed in temporary premises, offering 9 academic programmes to less than 1,000 students, to a major University with an international reputation for teaching and scholarship, enrolled over 20,000 students on programmes of all levels from associate degree to postgraduate research. Dynamic and upward moving, CityU ranks among the best 200 universities worldwide and its social sciences departments/programs have been ranked 61st of the top 100 in the world by the Times Higher Education Supplement in UK, signifying the growing international standing of the University. CityU is committed to fostering talented youth with a holistic development and an international vision, and preparing students for the workplace and to learn and adapt to changes in the real world.
