Full of vitality and creativity, City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has advanced rapidly to be ranked #48 in the world in QS rankings. 

We want our best students to get the recognition they deserve, which is why we’re revamping our system for classifying undergraduate degrees starting from 2020/21. 

Under our new system, the top 15% of graduating students in each department/school (based on CGPA ranking) will receive the following degree classifications:

●    summa cum laude     (highest distinction)     
●    magna cum laude     (high distinction)         
●    cum laude         (distinction)             

Reflecting our innovative identity, CityU’s bold move represents a significant step forward for higher education in Hong Kong. As the #1 Most International University, according to Times Higher Education, we are now aligned among the world’s elite.
