Sabrina Wins a Full Scholarship to CUHK

Sabrina Wins a Full Scholarship to CUHK, Top 18 University with a Double Degree in Japan

Congratulations to Sabrina on securing a full scholarship to The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), ranked #18 in the world and #2 in Hong Kong by QS. What makes her admission even more remarkable is the program itself: a 2+2 double degree in Global Studies, offered jointly by CUHK and Waseda University in Japan.

The Scholarship and the Program

Sabrina's full scholarship covers her studies at one of Asia's most prestigious universities. The 2+2 joint program means she will spend two years studying at CUHK in Hong Kong and two years at Waseda University, one of Japan's most internationally recognized private universities. Upon completion, she earns a double degree from both institutions, an outcome that very few undergraduate students anywhere in the world can claim.

For a student with global ambitions, this structure offers something genuinely rare: two top-ranked Asian university credentials, two distinct cultural and academic environments, and a network that spans both Hong Kong and Tokyo.

About CUHK

The Chinese University of Hong Kong is ranked #18 globally by QS, placing it firmly among the world's elite research universities. It is known for its bilingual education model, strong research output, and a campus that blends Eastern and Western academic traditions. Its Global Studies program draws students who are serious about international affairs, cross-cultural communication, and building careers that cross borders, and pairing it with Waseda makes it one of the most distinctive undergraduate offerings in all of Asia.

A Graduate of Nukus Presidential School

Sabrina graduated from Nukus Presidential School, part of Uzbekistan's network of highly selective Presidential Schools that produce some of the country's strongest academic profiles. Her admission to CUHK, Waseda, and several other top universities across three countries reflects both the quality of her education and the strength of the application she built.

A Remarkable Set of Offers

Sabrina's CUHK offer came alongside admissions from an impressive group of institutions across Asia and Europe. In South Korea, she received offers from Sungkyunkwan University (QS #108) and Yonsei University (QS #42), one of Korea's SKY universities and one of the most competitive destinations for international students in the region. Globstudy has placed multiple students at both universities, including Sugdiyona's full scholarship to SKKU for Nano Engineering. Read that story here: Full Scholarship to SKKU.

In Europe, she received an offer from Esade Barcelona, consistently ranked among the top business schools in the world and one of the most selective institutions in Spain. Receiving an offer from Esade alongside top Asian universities places Sabrina in an exceptionally small group of internationally competitive applicants.

Choosing CUHK and its Waseda double degree over Yonsei, SKKU, and Esade is a deliberate and well-reasoned decision.

What This Achievement Represents

Sabrina's outcome is one of the strongest undergraduate results Globstudy has reported. A full scholarship to a top-18 world university, a double degree spanning Hong Kong and Japan, and offers from Yonsei, SKKU, and Esade as alternatives reflect years of consistent academic effort and a well-executed, multi-country application strategy.

It also adds to a growing track record of Globstudy students gaining entry to Hong Kong and East Asian universities. In 2026, China and Hong Kong combined were the second most popular region for our students, with placements at C9 universities, international campuses, and now CUHK at the global top 20.

Interested in Top Universities in Hong Kong, Japan, or South Korea?

Hong Kong's universities, including CUHK, HKU, and HKUST, are among the most underappreciated destinations for students from Uzbekistan. They combine world-class rankings with English-taught programs, generous scholarship packages, and a strategic position between East and West that few other cities offer. Japan and South Korea add further options for students willing to think beyond the US and Europe.
