香港中文大學（深圳）是由香港中文大學與深圳大學，根據《中外合作辦學條例》而組建的從事高等教育研究的機構。

我們創辦香港中文大學（深圳）的目的有兩個方面，一方面，我們希望移植香港中文大學幾十年來成功的辦學模式到祖國內地，這里包括優秀的辦學理念，成熟的管理機制和嚴格的學術體系；另一方面，我們希望能為祖國內地包括珠三角地區培養一批有國際視野的，有社會擔當的，新一代創新型專業人才。為國家和地區的經濟社會發展作出貢獻，為國家的高等教育改革作出貢獻，也為珠三角和香港地區的長期穩定發展作出貢獻。

香港中文大學（深圳）實行理事會領導下的校長負責制。民主管理學校，充分尊重學術自由。繼承香港中文大學的學術傳統，結合傳統與現代，融合中國與西方，實行中英雙語教學，書院制和通識教學，培養學生的跨領域，跨文化的創新型國際專業人才。

CUHK seeks to enhance the well-being of citizens of Hong Kong, China as a whole, and the wider world community through teaching, research and public service.

The establishment of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen [CUHK(SZ)] is an initiative to take this further by extending the CUHK core educational philosophy and values beyond Hong Kong, in order to contribute to higher education across the nation and to groom future generations of university graduates who are international in outlook, learned in the disciplines they follow, upright character, and committed to serving the needs of society. It is an endeavour that will have a profound impact on the training of top talents and on the educational reform in China, and to contribute to the long-term prosperity of Shenzhen, Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region.

CUHK(SZ) was set up with staunch support from the Shenzhen Municipal Government, and with the participation of Shenzhen University as collaborative partner, as required by the State Regulations for Sino-foreign Co-operation in Running Schools.

CUHK Degrees will be conferred on CUHK(SZ) students who have fulfilled the requirements of the respective academic programmes. In addition, Graduation Certificates will also be awarded to students who have completed their studies and met the graduation requirements stipulated by the State Ministry of Education (MoE).
