The Chinese University of Hong Kong, commonly referred to as CUHK, is the second oldest university in Hong Kong; it is campus-based and also the only collegiate university in the territory. The motto of the university is "博文約禮" in Chinese, meaning "to broaden one's intellectual horizon and keep within the bounds of propriety".
Despite its name, the Chinese University does not conduct its classes solely in Cantonese. In order of prominence, Cantonese, English, and Mandarin are the languages of instruction.
