The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) launched its first Virtual Information Day for Undergraduate Admissions on 10 October 2020. The online event was a success, drawing thousands of visitors, including secondary students, parents, teachers and public visitors online, looking for admissions and programmes information.

CUHK Business School organised a packed programme of events during the Virtual Information Day, including admission talks, alumni sharing, consultation sessions, and student ambassadors chatrooms, for visitors to develop a clear understanding of the nine undergraduate programmes offered by the School.

Through the well-organised activities, visitors interacted with programme directors and student ambassadors to find out details of essential topics, such as admissions requirements, programme structure and curriculum, student life, internship opportunities, global experience, enrichment activities, etc.
