College Life

I am honored and excited to receive an offer at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Studying at HPSHCC has provided me with a strong academic foundation and valuable learning experiences that have prepared me for this next step.

Throughout my time at the College, I developed a deeper understanding of hospitality, customer service, and teamwork, while also enhancing my communication and problem-solving skills. I am truly grateful to my lecturers and classmates for their support and encouragement along the way.

Joining the Hong Kong Polytechnic University is an important milestone in my academic journey, and I look forward to expanding my knowledge and pursuing my passion in the hospitality and tourism industry.

HPSHCC has helped me a lot in developing my academic skills.

Over the past two years, I have studied diligently at HPSHCC and am grateful to have completed the Higher Diploma in Applied Intelligent Technologies with a perfect GPA of 4.0. The programme has helped me build a solid foundation in areas such as Cloud Computing and Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning, which further inspired my interest in the IT field.

Looking back on this valuable learning journey, the programme not only equipped me with relevant technological knowledge, but also provided valuable internship opportunities. Beyond academics, I had the opportunity to serve as a class representative, join the Student Union, work as an advertisement model, and complete an internship at Hong Kong Telecom.

These experiences allowed me to learn both inside and outside the classroom. I am sincerely grateful to the lecturers and the College for their guidance and support, which have helped me better understand the skills required in the technology industry. This journey has given me greater confidence to pursue further studies, as well as the courage and ability to explore future opportunities in the IT industry.

My journey at HPSHCC has been a meaningful turning point in my life. During my first year, I felt very lost and uncertain about my future, so my academic performance was not ideal. However, in my second year, I gradually discovered the path I truly wanted to pursue and became more motivated to work towards my goals.

Throughout this journey, the lecturers at HPSHCC were very supportive, positive, and always willing to share their experiences and advice with us. Their encouragement gave me greater confidence in myself. I also met a group of great classmates who supported one another like teammates, making the learning journey less stressful and more memorable. I am truly grateful for the growth and experiences I gained during my time at HPSHCC.

During my two years in the Higher Diploma in Applied Health and Rehabilitation Care, the integration of theoretical learning and clinical practice enabled me to build a solid foundation in healthcare knowledge and nursing skills, laying strong groundwork for my academic advancement.

Facing various challenges in both academic and clinical settings not only strengthened my problem-solving abilities but also boosted my confidence as I overcame them. These valuable experiences, accumulated step by step, have fostered my personal growth and well prepared me for my future academic journey.

After completing the HKDSE, I knew my results were not strong enough for direct entry to university, but I remained determined to pursue a career in healthcare. That is why I chose the Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management at HPSHCC. During my three years of study, I learnt subjects such as anatomy, physiology, pharmaceutics, and pathophysiology, all of which laid a solid foundation for my future studies.

Admittedly, the programme involved many tests and examinations. However, the lecturers were highly effective in explaining complex medical concepts in a simple and accessible way, which made the learning process much less daunting than I had expected.

In addition, summer internships and hospital visits gave me valuable exposure to different healthcare fields. Group projects also allowed me to build friendships and strengthen my teamwork skills, preparing me well for both university life and the workplace.

Thanks to this programme, I received a bachelor's degree offer from a university. I truly believe that the programme was a turning point in my academic journey. As I prepare to graduate, I am filled with wonderful memories and feel deeply grateful for all that I have gained at HPSHCC. I sincerely hope that every student will receive the offers they aspire to and leave HPSHCC with valuable knowledge, meaningful experiences, and a clear path ahead.

I was once a university student who felt frustrated and uncertain about my chosen major, which led me to pause and reconsider my path. During that period of confusion, I discovered the Associate of Social Sciences in Youth and Social Services at HPSHCC. This programme broadened my perspective and helped me rethink my future career direction. Although I developed a strong interest in social work, I also realised the importance of building a solid foundation in social sciences first.

I am grateful to have met like-minded peers who share similar aspirations, which made this journey even more meaningful. The two years of associate degree study were not easy, yet every step contributed to my personal growth. With the dedicated guidance of lecturers and the strong support of the Student Development Resource Centre (SDRC), I was able to build a solid academic and personal foundation. These experiences have enabled me to progress to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and move one step closer to my future goals.

During my two years of studying in the Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management, I was truly grateful to meet a group of passionate and dedicated lecturers. They not only explained the course content patiently but also took the time to discuss further study options with us, helping me find my direction during moments of uncertainty and successfully gain admission to my desired bachelor's degree programme.

In addition to teaching us fundamental medical knowledge, the College also provides a simulated pharmacy, which allowed me to experience the work of a dispensary assistant before starting my internship. Last summer, I had the opportunity to undertake an internship at a local pharmacy management centre, where I was able to apply what I had learnt in class to real-life practice. This valuable experience has been highly beneficial to my future studies and career development.

Lastly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the College for providing a comfortable learning environment and valuable learning opportunities over the past two years, which have fully prepared me for university life ahead.

“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal.” Studying Social Work at CUHK has always been a dream that I have worked hard to pursue. Looking back on who I was two years ago, I once thought this goal was beyond my reach, which led me to take a different path in the hope of giving myself a second chance. When I first joined HPSHCC, I was determined to give it my very best. As the saying goes, “You reap what you sow,” and my academic results helped me regain confidence in my ability to learn and grow.

As I gradually adapted to the rhythm of College life, I actively took part in different College societies and internships to broaden my horizons and turn each experience into nourishment for personal growth. Although the journey was full of challenges, it was through perseverance and reflection that I was able to move closer to my goal step by step and eventually gain admission to my desired bachelor degree programme. This experience has made me firmly believe that with a clear direction and consistent effort, dreams can truly come true.

Lastly, I am deeply grateful to my friends, lecturers, and staff at HPSHCC, who walked alongside me throughout this journey and helped me find hope during moments of uncertainty. I also sincerely wish every student the courage to keep striving and to move confidently towards their own future.
