Prospective Students

Undergraduate programme

Established in 1965, the Music Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong was the first degree-granting music institution in Hong Kong.  Its graduates, widely recognized for the excellence of their training, have gone on to assume leadership roles in the field of music both regionally and internationally.  The Department is committed to maintaining the high quality of its graduating students not only through rigorous instruction in both Western and Chinese musical traditions but also by equipping them with the critical skills and acumen they will need to succeed in an increasingly globalized society.  The Department believes that the best undergraduate music education consists of a well-chosen balance between a performing-oriented approach and the scholarly study of music.
