AbstractCUHK is privileged to be the only university in Hong Kong offering credit bearing Required Physical Education (RPE) Programme with quality courses that cover 19 sports items. Boasting a wide spectrum of Sports for All activities, the PE of CUHK aims to enhance the holistic health and well-being of students, as well as the citizens of Hong Kong, China and beyond.
