College Life

I particularly enjoy the study at the College, not just because of the well-equipped environment, but also having a wonderful time with the lecturers and schoolmates. The programme structure was great and suitable, for students were able to explore a broad-based knowledge of social sciences and allowed students to specialise in public relations and journalism. Lecturers engaged students to think critically and creatively. Through discussion, sharing and reflection with friends, it has given me more insight on academic study.

Entering the College gave me a new opportunity to get into university. The knowledge that was covered in the course not only helps my future studies, but also can be applied to daily life. I was given a lot of help and encouragement from the lecturers and counsellors during my study which makes my campus life enriched and joyful. I am glad that I chose to study at the College as the lecturers do worry about the future of their students a lot and try their best to make sure every student can continue their study in universities.

The well-designed programmme, Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management, provided me with a fruitful and rewarding study life I have never had. After two years study, I was equipped with biological and pharmaceutical knowledge. These knowledge indeed not only promote my further study in scientific field, but also helpthose who want to be a medical professional to fulfill their goal. Besides theoretical aspect, the programme is practical as the role play, summer internship, visiting to hospital and pharmaceutical factory are offered. The strongest impression regarding the College is the knowledgeable, enthusiastic and supportive lecturers. They pay all effort to teach students and answer students’ queries with detailed information and patience. Frankly speaking, getting advancement to university is a hard battle. However, with lecturers’ support and encouragement, I win and become a university student now. The study mode at the College prepares me to be an all-rounded student as it is similar to that in university which aims to cultivate students with independence, initiative and confidence. At last, I must send my heartfelt thanks to the College as it gives me a valuable opportunity to pursue my dream: being a scientist.

I really feel grateful for the chances and resources provided by the College in the past two years. There were not only numerous qualified lecturers sharing their life experience and useful theories, but also practical opportunities in related sports and recreation agencies were provided for me to apply what I had learned. It is of enormous benefits for both further studies and work. Having benefited from the similar learning mode of the College, I am well-equipped myself to adapt to the school-life in CUHK.

My past two-year study at the College was very fruitful and enjoyable. We did not only learn a lot the industry-related knowledge, but also got abundant lecturers’ guidance on understanding the actual situation in the industry. In addition, I gained a valuable 6-month internship experience as a Human Resources trainee in the Landmark Mandarin Oriental hotel. I believe these experiences can benefit me for my future studies and careers. Although the past two years were full of challenges, I was lucky to have my groupmates’ support, which became one of my driving forces to keep me up every time.

My major, Business Management has been providing me a fundamental but all-rounded knowledge of the contemporary business environment of Hong Kong. It broadens our career prospects since business knowledge is highly demanded today. Lecturers mostly would assist us to complete our assignments patiently; even they have done for their work for the day. Their genuine cares towards our well-beings has impressed me.

Regarding the 2-year study at the College, I have gained more than I expected. The College is not only a place to acquire knowledge or a stepping-stone to the university, but also a place turning me to be more mature to meet the requirement of the future world. Apart from providing an alternative pathway to enter the university, the College has also provided me with a variety of platforms to extend learning beyond academic studies. I was chosen as a Student Ambassador and the representative of the College joining a joint college study tour. From these precious experiences, I have widened my scope and expanded my social connection. Furthermore, I have rebuilt self-confidence in these two years. The support from lecturers and the resources provided by the College enable me to pursue excellence in my studies. The courses also allow me to study in different psychology disciplines, such as developmental psychology and abnormal psychology, which provide me with a very strong foundation to continue my studies in the degree programme and inspire my career choice.

I have learnt a lot about the hotel industry through my 2-year study at the College. I gained a lot from lecturers for rich disciplined-related academic knowledge and work experience. They always try their best to help us. The 6-month internship in Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong also enriched my knowledge and experience in the hospitality industry. The things I have learnt were not only limited to textbooks, but also practical working experience in the hotel industry. The 2-year study life at the College is definitely important for my future studies and careers.

The comfortable learning environment and the flexible learning approach made me enjoy studying at the College. Since the mode of teaching is close to that of the university, I could easily adapt to the university life. The lecturers here are friendly and passionate in answering students’ questions. Besides, the College offers many internships, exchanges as well as opportunities of joining voluntary services to students. Through these activities, I met many good friends and gained many unforgettable experiences.

From my two years of joyful study at the College, I have gained not only knowledge from various lessons, but also friendship, leadership skills and practical skills. The programme truly helped me to pave the way to university as the lectures are not only interesting but lecturers are also passionate to teach more than the students expect. I feel thankful to have been given the chance to participate in the College activities as a class representative since this responsibility allowed me to become more mature while facing society. Besides, the participation in the newsletter provided me with a great chance to apply the theories which were learnt from the daily lectures, as well as experience the job duties of journalism.

My past few years at the College have provided me with an in-depth knowledge on my specialised area. On top of that, what surprised me the most is the learning style in the College. The learning atmosphere is similar to university over here. Students are encouraged to raise questions and look for answers by themselves through books and discussions with classmates. Lecturers are also more than willing to answer all kinds of questions about the related areas. Sometimes, they will also share some of their experiences so that the lectures can be more enjoyable.

Studying at the College gave me a chance to work closely with different kinds of people that helped to generate some new and better ideas in handling schoolwork as well as problem solving, all of which enhanced my critical thinking. I believed that the knowledge and experience I have acquired here could undoubtedly help me adapt to university life more easily and I am now well-equipped to face new challenges in the future.
