Bulletin Spring‧Summer 1993

Graduate School, w i th the introduction of the first Ph.D. programme. The degree of Doctor of Medicine was introduced in 1985-86. New Thrusts since 1990 The government's initiativ e in 1990—91 to more than double the number of research students in four years precipitated a review of admission policies and procedures and stimulated the introduction of new research programmes. By 1992-93, the Graduate School has grown to 33 divisions, offering a total of 27 programmes at the doctoral level, 46 at the master's level, and two diploma programmes. Three new programmes have already been approved for introduction in 1993—94 ， and proposals for other new programmes have been submitted. In January 1993 the total number of postgraduate students was 1,928, nearly 60 times that of 1966. Part of this increase can be attributed to the significant growth in enrolment i n postgraduate research programmes over the past few years, and this trend is expected to continue in response to the rapidly developing strength in research at CUHK , and to the government policy of boosting postgraduate research programmes. • Postgraduate En r o lment at 21st Janua r y 1993 Faculty Division M F Total Arts Chinese Language and Literature 24 13 37 English 10 22 32 Fine Arts 6 3 9 History 22 3 25 Music 7 8 15 Philosophy 13 5 18 Religion and Theology 8 6 14 Translation 15 35 50 Total 105 95 200 Business Administration Business Administration 152 105 257 Education Education 467 391 858 Engineering Computer Science 51 5 56 Electronic Engineering 45 4 49 Information Engineering 21 4 25 Systems Engineering 13 1 14 Total 130 14 144 Medicine Basic Medical Sciences 10 6 16 Clinical and Pathological Sciences 43 38 81 Nursing 0 9 9 Total 53 53 106 Science Biochemistry 29 6 35 Biology 13 13 26 Chemistry 39 9 48 Mathematics 24 0 24 Physics 28 1 29 Statistics 14 2 16 Total 147 31 178 Social Science Anthropology 6 5 11 Clinical Psychology 3 6 9 Communication 5 10 15 Economics 16 5 21 Geography 16 3 19 Government and Public Administration 16 10 26 Psychology 2 4 6 Sociology 24 9 33 Social Work 15 30 45 Total 103 82 185 Grand Total 1,157 771 1,928 GRADUATE SCHOOL 8
