College Life

As a mature student whose previous experience was entirely in the property management industry, this Higher Diploma programme has broadened my understanding of the surveying profession and given me a clearer picture of what it means to be a surveying professional. In this field, it is crucial to possess both technical expertise in real estate and a sound understanding of legal principles.

The lecturers are all seasoned professionals or practitioners with extensive experience in their respective fields. They have enriched our learning by sharing valuable practical knowledge and real-world industry insights. Whether you are a student who has just completed the HKDSE or a mature student seeking a new career direction, HPSHCC offers a supportive and professional environment in which to gain practical knowledge, develop new skills, and build a clear career pathway.

The comprehensive curriculum and hands-on learning experiences have prepared me for my future in healthcare. I was thrilled to receive offers from both my dream programmes — Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy —thanks to the solid foundation that I built during my studies.

The course has offered invaluable job exposure through placements, outreach activities in various health sectors, and access to advanced healthcare technologies. I have gained practical skills such as using walking aids, mastering bed transfer techniques, and providing patient care. These experiences have not only enhanced my technical competence but also deepened my passion for rehabilitation care. The supportive lecturers and practical training have paved the way for my academic and professional aspirations, and I am excited to continue pursuing my dream career in healthcare.

With profound gratitude to my lecturers, it's my pleasure to share what I have gained from studying this programme at HPSHCC.

Alongside fundamental healthcare knowledge, I have gained various learning opportunities beyond classroom, such as developing practical pharmaceutical skills through laboratory activities, and gaining a deeper understanding of how healthcare services operate through seminars and overseas visits. For instance, I learned about China's healthcare system during an exchange programme with Shenzhen University, which broadened my perspective and inspired me to pursue a bright future.

Once again, I would like to extend my indebtedness to my lecturers. Guiding us from career prospects to university applications and interview preparation, their persistent tutelage and boundless belief in us will yield another generation of outstanding medical professionals. Their support has been instrumental in shaping my career path and preparing me for the challenges ahead. To prospective students, I wish you every success in building your future and encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunities this programme offers.

The greatest reward of studying at HPSHCC is knowing that “no risk, no story” and that it is never too late to chase your dreams. The College provides a good opportunity to learn more about the industry through the internship programme, which has clarified my future career path. Lastly, I would like to thank all the supporters I have met at HPSHCC: I made it! See you at PolyU!

Knowledge and effort won’t betray you.

My journey as a Higher Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality Management student at HPSHCC has been incredibly rewarding. Over the past two years, I have gained in-depth knowledge of hotel operations through both coursework and practical training.

One of the most valuable experiences was my internship, where I had the opportunity to apply my classroom learning in a real-world hospitality environment. Through this hands-on training, I significantly improved my communication skills by interacting with guests from diverse backgrounds, handling inquiries, and resolving service issues. Additionally, I honed my problem-solving abilities by managing unexpected challenges and strengthened my teamwork by collaborating with colleagues to ensure smooth operations. This internship not only enhanced my professional skills but also solidified my vision for my future career path. I am grateful to HPSHCC for providing such practical learning opportunities and look forward to further developing my expertise in the hospitality industry.

Over the past two years, I have acquired invaluable knowledge about the hospitality industry. This journey has been enriched by the unwavering support of my College lecturers, who guided me in navigating the complexities of the field. The College also facilitated internships that allowed me to apply what I had learned in real-world settings. While the internship presented its challenges, it significantly strengthened my practical skills and provided me with deeper insights into the hospitality sector.

Beyond academics, the College provided a vibrant array of activities, including cocktail workshops, volunteer programmes like V-circle, and the Student Ambassador Programme. I was honoured to be a student ambassador, an opportunity that not only broadened my social network but also left me with countless cherished memories.

To my fellow schoolmates, I encourage you to fully embrace College life and make the most of the opportunities available. May you create your own unforgettable moments during your time at the College!
