To help students better understand CityU’s subject characteristics, faculty advantages and admissions policies, CityU held the Shanghai-Nanjing Admissions Roadshow for the academic year 2025/2026 in Shanghai and Nanjing from November 8th to 9th. This campaign was led by Rector Jun Liu and Pro-Rector Robert Chan Chon Pat, as well as deans and program coordinators of top ten faculties. It attracted the enthusiastic participation of nearly 300 students and their parents.

He emphasized that universities were not only academic palaces, but also active participants and contributors to national and regional development. He further pointed out that, in the face of future opportunities and challenges, CityU would leverage its data science discipline to promote the development of cutting-edge interdisciplinary disciplines, using innovation as a driving force to nurture a new generation of pragmatic and application-oriented talents.
Rector Liu presented CityU’s development outline in five major areas including data science, fintech, health and wellness, applied linguistics and intercultural communication as well as city development and tourism, providing students with rich academic resources and practical opportunities, allowing students to master advanced knowledge and skills in the context of globalization, and laying a solid foundation for future careers.

Rector Liu extended a warm welcome to future students and expressed his hope that they would achieve both their dreams and social value through the enriching academic environment at CityU.

Zhu Tianqing, associate dean of Faculty of Data Science, spoke as a teacher representative. She noted that, like many other outstanding scholars who graduated from prestigious universities around the world, she was drawn by CityU’s forward-looking teaching philosophy and development vision.
In recent years, CityU’s scientific research achievements and academic level have significantly improved. Professor Zhu emphasized that the University provided students with a broad academic platform along with abundant scientific research and hands-on opportunities. She concluded that the Honors Class at the undergraduate level and the Academician Fang Binxing Experimental Class at the master’s and doctoral levels, with their unique training models, are gradually becoming important factors in attracting many students to apply.
