College Life

I was an aircraft maintenance technician for many years before entering HPSHCC. My income rapidly decreased because of COVID-19 and I started to consider if there are any alternative pathways for my career, so I decided to leave my role and chose Accounting and Financial Planning as my major.

The amplitude of programme structure, well-equipped College facilities and supportive lecturers brought me the key to the university I longed-for. Therefore, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to lecturers who  helped me to pursue my dream.

During my two-year study journey at HPSHCC, the programme equipped me with essential knowledge and skills to be well-prepared for dealing with challenges and difficulties in the future. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Student Development Resource Centre and the College for providing the valuable resources, including experienced lecturers, comprehensive facilities, and programme resources.

I studied the two-year Higher Diploma in Applied Intelligent Technologies at the College.  With the advice and support of my lecturers, I obtained a solid foundation in computer and artificial intelligence knowledge, which was very helpful for me to enter the Computer and Data Engineering programme at the City University of Hong Kong. I am thankful to my lecturers and classmates for their selfless assistance and patient guidance over the past two years, allowing me to progress towards my goals.

I understand that new students may find themselves in a situation where they just missed out on their desired university. However, I encourage you not to give up. Remember, all roads lead to Rome! Even if your results do not meet your expectations, you do not need to panic. The opportunity is still in your hands.

Even though I didn't do well in the HKDSE examination, I got a new opportunity from my Higher Diploma programme. I have learnt various knowledge, such as: Cloud Computing, Web Programming and Database Management. Hands-on learning through internship really helped me improve. I also tried to use AI and machine learning to assist on my internship project. It was such a great time to work on group projects with my new friends. My peers and lecturers from HPSHCC made my learning journey more fun and smoother, and encouraged me to progress my undergraduate study.

Sometimes failure is a blessing in disguise.

My failure in the public examination drove me to enroll in this College. Over the past two years, I was grateful to have met patient lecturers and caring schoolmates. They gave me a wealth of new knowledge in psychology and made my learning journey less lonely. The most beautiful scenery of this College was not the tall buildings outside the windows, but the passionate teachers and the determined schoolmates. If it weren't for my past failure, I wouldn't have had the fortune of meeting them.

Here is a message for you who may be experiencing setbacks:  “Though it is too late to change the past, there is still time to shape the day to come." Regardless of the past, as long as you have the will, you can catch up with everything.

I studied for a two-year Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management at the College. With the guidance and assistance from my tutors, I gained a good foundation in biochemistry knowledge, which greatly benefited me when I entered City University of Hong Kong’s Biology programme. I am very grateful to the College and my tutors for their selfless help and patient guidance in the past two years, which helped me, despite my failure in the public examination, to pursue my favorite subject and move towards my ideal. Therefore, students need not panic even if their test scores do not meet their expectation. The College will provide you with a new opportunity.

During these two years studying at HPSHCC, I reaped abundant knowledge and skills from the Higher Diploma in Sport and Recreation Management programme. The course has provided me with professional management knowledge, which has greatly solidified the spectrum of sports recreation knowledge and further prepared my future career. Moreover, the variety of courses and materials also captivated and intrigued me greatly. It can broaden students’ horizons in the sports recreation area, like sports marketing and human resource management.

Finally, I sincerely appreciate all the college lecturers for their endeavours and dedication. Without their patience and guidance, I might not have achieved satisfactory results.

My two years at HPSHCC was unforgettable. The well-designed curriculum and progressive content helped me adapt quickly. The Internship programme allowed me to apply my knowledge into practice, and the lecturers were always willing to help students with challenges. I feel fortunate to be a part of the College, giving me confidence to face future challenges.

The road ahead will have more trials, but do not underestimate your abilities. Let’s face difficulties head-on, you definitely can unleash your unlimited potential.

In the past two years at HPSHCC, I learned a lot about Accounting and Finance. This programme has provided me with a solid foundation in the business field. For example, the knowledge of Taxation and Business Law is really useful, enabling me to reduce tax burdens legally and protect my interests through business law. Also, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the stock market by knowing different financial ratios in the Essentials of Investments lectures. I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all the lecturers who taught me before and the Student Development Resource Centre staff. Thank you!

There is a quote that I really love: “Work with discipline, not motivation.” If you keep chasing your dream, you will succeed. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Let’s focus more on yourself and find the best version of “You”!

During my time studying at HPSHCC, I acquired extensive medical knowledge in disciplines such as pharmaceutics, anatomy and physiology, as well as laboratory and research instrumentation. This comprehensive education profoundly enhanced my interest in the medical domain and established a solid foundation for my subsequent university studies. Furthermore, I am grateful for the guidance provided by the college lecturers throughout these two years. In addition to their patient instruction in class, they provided me with information and suggestions on further study, which helped me delineate clear directions and objectives for my academic and professional future.
