The Faculty of Science is equipped with world-class facilities, and is committed to research of both breadth and depth. Our teachers are dedicated and determined researchers whose success can be reflected by the number of quality research papers published and the many competitive grants, prizes and awards that they have won as individuals or as part of a team. The University Grants Committee (UGC) has selected 24 Areas of Excellence (AoE) projects from eight tertiary institutions in Hong Kong, and FOUR of them are led by members of CUHK Science Faculty.
