College Life

I learnt a lot of professional knowledge from my programme, such as the concept of communication and news writing skills. During these two years in HPSHCC, I can find my own goal clearly. The College also provided us with adequate resources to when we have troubles in applying universities. I hope all of you can find your dreams in HPSHCC.

As I did not perform satisfactorily in HKDSE, I was puzzled and frustrated as going to the university was the ultimate goal that I have been striving hard for throughout my secondary school life. After talking to my friends and teachers in my school, I applied for the Higher Diploma programme in Tourism and Hospitality Management offered by HPSHCC. The two years of studies in HPSHCC enriched my academic knowledge as well as work experience.  I really appreciated the lecturers who gave us a helping hand whenever we faced a problem, academically or any other issues. It is definitely a life-changing experience studying in HPSHCC.

This two-year programme allowed me to learn practical skills and meet many good friends. All the skills that I learned are useful for my future career and further studies. This programme also provided us with many study tours to widen our horizon. Apart from studying, the College has organized many after class activities.  I really enjoyed a wonderful college life in HPSHCC.

The programme not only helped me to learn about tourism industry, but it also provided a 6-month internship for us to practise the skills and gain experience in the workplace. This is a great opportunity for us to grow and we benefited a lot from it. I am pleased to study at HPSHCC where I met excellent lecturers and classmates who encouraged me whenever I encountered difficulties.

Having received an university offer is a reward and a confirmation of my hard work. To most of the students, entering the university after HKDSE is the most straight forward way. To me, studying for an associate degree suits me more. Throughout the two years of study at HPSHCC, I met lecturers who are passionate to teach, student counsellors who gave useful  advice to students, and friends who fought alongside with me. All of them gave me the motivation to learn and work hard. I was surrounded by supportive people. 

I am glad that I can study at HPSHCC. The lecturers are helpful and kind, they always answer my questions and help me whenever I have difficulties. Also, after participating in an internship in a luxury hotel, I had a deeper understanding of hotel operations.

I was completely astonished when I received the Radiography degree offer from the PolyU. However, the offer is a bonus; what I have experienced at HPSHCC is a reward in itself. The programme has provided us various opportunities to accumulate experience and apply what we have learnt. Professional lecturers taught us medical knowledge in a comprehensive manner. College counsellors spared no effort in offering assistance and support. The College campus is pleasant and comfortable. All of these have made it time well spent and I have established a concrete foundation for my future. Most importantly, I have realised the true nature of learning and my own interest. The experience at HPSHCC will be the powerful driving force of years to come.

Aside from acquiring medical science knowledge such as anatomy and microbiology, HPSHCC had provided me with various learning opportunities, from overseas study tours, local site visits to internship opportunity at the Department of Psychiatry in the University of Hong Kong. Through such experiences, I was able to enhance my knowledge of the medical field. Moreover, the programme is well structured and lecturers are really helpful and supportive. 

HPSHCC is where I met classmates and lecturers from different countries. I would like to thank them for helping me out in difficult situations throughout the year. I would also like to thank the SDRC team in refining my personal statement and guiding me on how to apply for universities.
