Introduction of Harmonia College
The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen adopts a collegiate system. All students are attached to different colleges so that students with different academic and cultural backgrounds may mingle to form closer relationships with their teachers and peers. We stress the importance of whole-person education, providing a multitude of alternative education opportunities to supplement the programmes offered by Schools. We launch a variety of events to build up students' self-confidence, cultivate their artistic tastes, train their interpersonal skills and raise their awareness of social responsibility.
