Admission Talks Provide Useful Information

CUHK will organise several admission talks and Q&A sessions which will introduce different ways to get admitted into CUHK to suit the needs of students from different backgrounds.  The talks will include the JUPAS and Non-JUPAS schemes, for applicants with sub-degree or overseas qualifications and for applicants from the mainland, to be conducted in Cantonese, English and Putonghua. The first admission talk will be held at 10 am in the Sir Run Run Shaw Hall focusing on the latest admission arrangement this year.

Independent Enrollment of Biomedical Engineering in 2018

Jointly provided by the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Medicine, the Department of Biomedical Engineering will begin independent enrollment in 2018-19 via JUPAS. Admission talks will introduce the programme details.  Over the past 20 years, biomedical engineering has developed rapidly. Advanced medical technologies, such as robots and nano medical instruments and products, big data analysis on precision medicine, as well as biomaterials for regenerative medicine, have an important impact on global human health.  Set against the ageing population worldwide, the local and global demand for biomedical engineering professionals will become increasingly ardent. The Department will shoulder a most important mission to nurture professionals for the future to carry out new scientific research projects and transformation technology which will improve the quality and effectiveness of medical services.
