Policies
The university is committed to upholding its Outsourcing Policy, which requires all units to exercise due care when considering outsourcing proposals. It is essential that proper mechanisms are in place to select and monitor the performance of contractors and to ensure that workers are treated fairly and paid justly.
Providing cross-border learning experience and work placements for students
Hong Kong and Shenzhen are key international cities in the Greater Bay Area, known for their significant advancements in global commerce, finance, and innovative technology. To cultivate outstanding talent, CUHK has collaborated with CUHK(Shenzhen) to offer a double major programme that enables students to study at both campuses. The four-year study programme allows students to arrange two years of study flexibly at each campus, providing opportunities for learning, research, and field trips. Students can also gain valuable internship experience at leading institutions in both regions.
Nurturing entrepreneurship
In 2022, CUHK nurtured 13 start-up teams through the Youth Entrepreneurship Assistant Scheme, WeVenture – ‘MAKE a DASH’ in CUHK, and assisted young CUHK entrepreneurs in establishing a presence in the Greater Bay Area and developing their businesses in Mainland China. Financially supported by the ‘Funding Scheme for Youth Entrepreneurship in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area’, the programme provides one-on-one mentor matching to help start-ups translate their innovative ideas into sustainable social or business opportunities. It also assists them in seeking investment and exploring business collaboration with industry partners.
