The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (shortly CUHK–Shenzhen or CUHK–SZ) is a research university in Longgang, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. CUHK–Shenzhen was officially founded on 11 October 2012, and approved by the Ministry of Education of China on 16 April 2014.[2]

The Chinese University of Hong Kong, which campus is located in Sha Tin, Hong Kong, defines its relationship with CUHK-Shenzhen as "one brand, two campuses". Both are supervised by the same Senate, sharing the same academic structure and curriculum design. [3] As Chinese law prohibits foreign institutions, including those in Hong Kong, to independently establish educational institutions in Mainland China,[4] CUHK-Shenzhen is legally a joint venture between CUHK and Shenzhen University as the local partner.[5] Graduates from CUHK-Shenzhen are awarded degrees of CUHK, the same as those awarded to CUHK graduates (but denoting the Shenzhen campus in the text"),[3][6] as well as a graduation certificate approved by the Ministry of Education and conferred by CUHK-Shenzhen.

As of 2023, more than 9,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students are studying at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen.[7] Its long-term goal is to recruit 11,000 domestic and international students, 7,500 of whom will be undergraduate students and 3,500 Masters or PhD students.
