According to reports, The Chinese University of Hong Kong began recruiting students from mainland China in 1998, joined the national unified recruitment system in 2005, and was included in the early batch recruitment process in 2007. To date, it has recruited over 3,000 undergraduate students from the mainland. Applicants must achieve scores reaching the admission control threshold for first-tier undergraduate universities in the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao). Candidates only need to follow the standard application procedure for university preferences under the unified recruitment system and do not need to apply to the university separately. As The Chinese University of Hong Kong participates in the early batch recruitment in the mainland, candidates can apply to other key first-tier undergraduate universities simultaneously; if they are not admitted in the early batch, it will not affect their admission to first-tier undergraduate universities.
Last year, the university recruited 11 students in Hunan, with 7 in liberal arts and 4 in science. Among the admitted students, the highest score for liberal arts was 652 and the lowest was 627; the highest score for science was 663 and the lowest was 635. In addition, The Chinese University of Hong Kong also recognizes SAT scores (commonly known as the "American College Entrance Exam") with no deadline restrictions.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong's mainland recruitment plan is divided into four major professional categories: humanities, science, engineering, and business. The tuition fee for non-local students is 120,000 HKD per year. Accommodation fees are approximately 10,000 HKD, and other miscellaneous and living expenses are approximately 30,000 HKD per year.
