Today, CUHK is sorted out into nine constituent schools and eight scholarly personnel. Despite the fact that the first explanation in the sanction of the University stipulates Chinese as the foremost language,[4] English is presently the fundamental dialect of guideline in many classes, with Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese being held just by a minority of schools and scholastic departments.[5] As of 2013, four Nobel laureates are connected with the University, making it the main tertiary organization in the domain with beneficiaries of the Nobel Prize, Turing Award, Fields Medal and Veblen Prize as employees in residence.

The main of these, New Asia College, was secured in 1949 by hostile to Communist Confucian researchers from Mainland China in the midst of the upheaval there. Among the originators were Ch'ien Mu, Tang Junyi, and Tchang Pi-kai. Educational program concentrated especially on Chinese legacy and social concerns. The early years of this school were tumultuous, with the grounds migrating a few times between leased premises around Kowloon. Scholastics there were frequently self-ousted from the terrain and they battled monetarily, with understudies some of the time thinking about roofs and instructors prior pay to manage the school. Stores were step by step raised and the school moved to another grounds in Kau Pui Lung, manufactured with the backing of the Ford Foundation, in 1956. Taking after the Communist upset and the breakdown in relations in the middle of China and the United States at the 1950 flare-up of the Korean War, all Christian universities and colleges in the People's Republic of China were closed down.[8] Chung Chi College was established in 1951 by Protestant places of worship in Hong Kong to proceed with the religious training of territory temples and schools. The 63 understudies of its first year working were taught in different church and leased premises on Hong Kong Island. The school moved to its available area in Ma Liu Shui (i.e., the present CUHK grounds) in 1956.[9] By 1962, a year prior to the establishing of CUHK, Chung Chi had 531 understudies in 10 offices taught by a full-time employees of 40, barring tutors. United College was established in 1956 with the consolidating of five private universities in Guangdong region: Canton Overseas, Kwang Hsia, Wah Kiu, Wen Hua, and Ping Jing College of Accountancy.

These three schools (alongside a few others made amid this period) helped fill a void in the post-auxiliary training choices accessible to Hong Kong Chinese understudies. Before 1949, such understudies could go to a college in the territory. In any case with this choice ruined by the changes in China, understudies were not able to further their learns at a college unless their English capability was sufficient to select at the University of Hong Kong, then the main college in the region. In 1957, New Asia College, Chung Chi College, and United College met up to create the Chinese Colleges Joint Council. Foundation In June 1959, the Hong Kong government communicated its plan to secure another college with a medium of direction of Chinese. That year the Post-Secondary Colleges Ordinance was reported to give government financing and authority distinguishment to New Asia, Chung Chi and United universities with the expectation that the cash would "empower them to raise their models to a level at which they may meet all requirements for college status, likely on an elected basis".[10] The mandate was ordered on 19 May 1960. The Chinese University Preparatory Committee was created in June 1961 to prompt the administration on conceivable destinations for the new college. The accompanying May, the Fulton Commission was framed to evaluate the suitability of the three legislature supported Post-Secondary Colleges to wind up constituent schools of the new college. The commission, headed by Vice-Chancellor John Fulton of the recently settled University of Sussex, went by Hong Kong over the mid year and delivered a break report prescribing the foundation of the government college including the three colleges. The Fulton Commission report was tabled in the Legislative Council in June 1963, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong Ordinance was passed in September of that year. The school was authoritatively initiated in a function at City Hall on 17 October 1963, directed by the establishing chancellor, Sir Robert Brown Black. The following year Dr. Li Choh-ming was selected the first Vice-Chancellor of the college. The college initially included the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science and Faculty of Social Science.
