United College of Hong Kong

United College of Hong Kong

The United College of Hong Kong (Chinese: 聯合書院) is one of the four constituent colleges of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), and one of the three original colleges when CUHK was founded in 1963. It was founded in June 1956 by the amalgamation of five colleges: Wah Kiu, Canton Overseas, Wen Hua, Kwang Hsia and Ping Jing, members of a group of post-secondary colleges or former private universities based in Kwangtung (Guangdong).

It is now one of the four colleges of the Chinese University of Hong Kong along with Chung Chi College, New Asia College and Shaw College.

Professor Fung Kwok-pui is the current college head of United College.

Motto

The motto of the United College is "Ming De Xin Min" (明德新民), meaning "make one's virtues shine and renew the people". It is modified from a passage in the old classic "The Great Learning" (大學).
