City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) will host its annual JUPAS Consultation Day on 17 May 2025 (Saturday) from 1 to 5pm on the CityUHK campus. Themed “Effective Admission and Programme Reprioritisation Strategies”, the event is tailored to help JUPAS applicants make informed decisions before the reprioritisation deadline. 

The event will begin with an admission talk delivered by Professor Alan Wan, Associate Provost (Academic Affairs) and Dr CM Lam, Director of the Admissions Office, who will present the latest updates on JUPAS admission arrangements and application strategies. Participants will gain valuable insights into programme requirements and receive practical tips on how to effectively reprioritise their JUPAS programme choices. Throughout the day, one-on-one admissions consultation sessions will be available for students and parents seeking tailored advice. 

The Consultation Day will feature a wide range of activities, and attendees can capture memorable moments walking through the University’s new campus landmark: the “Tunnel of Future Innovations”. 

Interactive activities for comprehensive engagement

The Consultation Day will feature a diverse range of over 50 activities, including 33 admissions talks hosted by CityUHK’s academic units and the Admissions Office, 11 consultation sessions, campus and facilities tours, and sharing sessions by current students and alumni. These activities are designed to offer attendees a well-rounded understanding of CityUHK’s academic programmes, campus life and dynamic learning environment.

New campus landmark: The Tunnel of Future Innovations

The participants will also have a chance to explore the newly unveiled Tunnel of Future Innovations, located at the Festival Walk entrance. More than just a physical passage connecting the University and the community, this revitalised space serves as a dynamic digital platform offering immersive and interactive experiences. It provides CityUHK faculty, students and visitors with an engaging glimpse into the University’s strong academic programmes and impactful research, reinforcing its identity as a forward-thinking institution.

The University has seen robust development in recent years, continually growing in global influence and excelling in the global rankings. CityUHK was named the “Most International University in the World” by Times Higher Education (THE) in 2024 and 2025 and retained its top 20 ranking in the THE Asia University Rankings 2025. Additionally, in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) 2025 Asia University Rankings, CityUHK was ranked 10th in Asia and 3rd in Hong Kong.

Committed to fostering an international learning environment and expanding global connections, CityUHK has formed partnerships with elite universities worldwide in China, Asia, Europe and countries along the "Belt and Road" initiative.
