College Life

During my time at HPSHCC, I joined accounting competitions and activities, which allowed me to apply the business theoretical knowledge learnt in class. I am grateful to the College for a summer internship opportunity to be an accounting clerk at Po Leung Kuk. It enriched my CV, strengthened my confidence, as well as improved my interpersonal, organisational and numerical processing skills. It has set me up well for the future.

Studying an Associate Degree programme is not an academic failure, it is rather like a pitstop for personal growth and redefining your goal. In these two years, I have learnt to appreciate and grasp opportunities, always try to do the best we can. I am motivated to learn in progress as majority of us at the College shared the similar goal. Alongside with the support and guidance from our lecturers, specifically in the social sciences stream, I am able to understand different social situations and hence bridging the University syllabus. The College Student Counsellors have also helped me a lot in planning my future ahead.

The Higher Diploma for Legal Executives programme equipped me with comprehensive legal knowledge and practical research skills, which are necessary for a competent legal executive.

Although I have changed my career path from legal to medical field, the 2-year study at HPSHCC has prepared me well to face a much difficult challenge – studying a 6-year bachelor degree programme. I am thankful for what I have learnt from the programme which helped me to find my passion to study chinese medicine.

It has been a fantabulous journey for me to study at this College. The courses provided are practical which gear us up for our future studies as well as career development. Apart from the academic enlightenment, dedicated lecturers and supportive counsellors have continuously encouraged us to defy obstacles, inspired us to implement goals and strive for higher achievements. Nonetheless, I have a valuable chance to participate in the mentorship programme held by the College together with the renowned Australian Investment Bank – Macquarie, and I also served the College as one of the student ambassadors. These experiences definitely developed my interpersonal skills and broadened my horizons. Although I have to leave the College and started my university education, the wonderful moments shared with educators, classmates and friends at the College will always remain in my heart.

The Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management programme provides students with solid foundation in pharmacological and biological knowledge, and hence prepares me for the bachelor’s degree studying in City University, majoring in Biomedical Sciences.

This programme provided me an opportunity to gain solid fundamental knowledge in medical sciences. It also provided me a chance to enrich my life. Due to my unsatisfactory public exam results 5 years ago, I was not able to continue my Form 6 study. Fortunately, I made a wise choice to enroll in the Foundation Programme. My College life was not an easy one at the beginning. However, I started to enjoy studying a lot when I came across with courses covered the knowledge related to medical sciences, such as anatomy & physiology, microbiology, pathophysiology. My learning attitude had totally changed. Lastly, this programme provided me with a wide range of articulation pathways to purse my further studies. I am now studying Master of Medical Sciences in HKU and my supervisor is the lecturer who taught me Anatomy and Physiology at this College 4 years ago.

I had a wonderful College life. The programme covers professional knowledge in medical and pharmaceutical fields and the programme-specific laboratory, Health Products Teaching Room, provides an ideal place for us to have the practical lectures. All fundamental knowledge learnt in the past 2 years is useful for my University study. Moreover, this College organised various activities to widen our social network. Thank all lecturers, counsellors and friends for their supports very much!

Looking back on these two years of College life at HPSHCC, what I have learnt and gained is beyond my expectation. Regarding academic support, all the lecturers are tremendously professional. They do not only teach theoretical knowledge, but also supplement with interesting real-life examples. I have met a lot of good friends here and participated in different kinds of activities, such as the Shanghai Exchange Tour and drama performance. All of these have shaped me to be a better, all-rounded person. Lastly, I must say I have made the right choice to study at HPSHCC.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Having to study an associate degree does not mean failure; I have treated it as an opportunity. College education has provided me with practical knowledge and helped me to better understand the media, public relations and journalism industries. On the other hand, I have had much personal growth in these two years, becoming more confident and persevering. I hope that all HPSHCC students will strive to fulfill their dreams.

Besides the knowledge in accounting and financial planning, I have learnt the critical thinking skills through group projects and trained up my leadership skills as well. The College lecturers are professionals and experts of the industry. They know the business field well and have provided us with valuable advice.

I am glad to have studied at this college for the past 2 years. With all the supportive lecturers, learning style is interactive and interesting. Besides, I had to thank my group mates and the friends who have fought side by side with me. In addition, I had a broad understanding in different business disciplines such as management, accounting and information management. It helps me clarify my interest and find the goal of my further study. I finally choose to learn more in the area of information management.

It has been a great experience and training for me at HPSHCC. All the lecturers are very helpful and caring. Not only do they try their very best to assist us with our studies, they also give us valuable advice on our future prospects. Higher Diploma in Tourism and Events Management is a programme that provides theoretical knowledge as well as internships to apply what we have learnt. It enhances our industry experience and communication skills. No matter if you want to work or study further after the two-year Higher Diploma, this programme will be a great stepping stone to achieve your dreams.
