College Life

HPSHCC offers different types of internship opportunities. I was able to work as a club assistant at Disciplined Services Sports and Recreation Club where I learned the development of the industry and equipped myself with the real life experience.  Please don’t give up easily because of unsatisfactory performance on the public exam. Instead, you could re-orient, manage your time, set new goals and strive for a better and brighter future.

Please don't care too much whether you are a sub-degree programme student or your unsatisfactory DSE results. In fact, studying at HPSHCC was the second opportunity for us to restart. Your DSE score was just a number that cannot define the kind of person you are. Found some like-minded friends to form a study group and worked together. Time will pass so quickly particularly when everyone shares a common goal.

Other degree offers received:

• Bachelor of Science in Community Health Practice, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (2-year programme)
• Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Management, City University of Hong Kong (Senior year entry)

I am glad to have lecturers who love teaching and are patient to students. They  inspired me to  purse my studies in the field of food safety.

HPSHCC provides a well-equipped nutrition laboratory for students to conduct different experiments on food safety.  We have learned a lot from the laboratory works and class presentations. In addition, visits to food factories enabled us to learn about the daily operations of the industry. All of these experiences  prepared us for future career.

After two years of hard work , I successfully articulated to the Hotel Management at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I have learned a lot from the lecturers. The course also provided a half-year internship for all students.  I was arranged to work in InterContinental Hong Kong. We were given choices to work at different departments  such as the Housekeeping, Catering, and Front Desk so that I can understand more about the operations of the hotel industry.

I really appreciate the hard work and care of the lecturers at HPSHCC. They are professional,  patient and willing to give us useful advice on studies. They also spent time to visit students where they were working as interns. Besides, I realized that interest in the study is a great driving force to strive and to excel.  Hope all of you can find your interest, realize your potentials and achieve your goals.

After two years of hard work, I am admitted to the Nursing programme of HKU. The MHPM programme of HPSHCC is well-designed. It covers a lot of useful pharmaceutical science knowledge like Anatomy and Pathophysiology which equipped me as a health-related student for the future pathway.  More importantly, lecturers are  professional and prepared well for lectures. They always provide useful advice for students to improve. A lot of outside classroom activities are also arranged such as visit to nursing homes and internship opportunities. Those are very precious experiences that I could not gain from the secondary school life. 

During my two years of study at HPSHCC, I am thankful to have caring lecturers who always give me useful advice on studies. With their encouragement, I have changed much, from a person who was indifferent to many things to someone who is eager to learn.

Many people may think that students of sub-degree studies are of less capabilities  when comparing with those who entered the university from the direct path. I do not agree. I believe that if we work hard on our target, our abilities will be recognised.
