College Life

Time flies when you enjoy yourself

The Higher Diploma in Tourism and Events Management programme offered by the College provided me with professional training, specialised knowledge and practical job placements that enabled me to attain proficiency in the field of my interest.

Throughout the past 2 years, I was given ample opportunities to gain hands-on experiences and broaden my horizon in different events in Hong Kong, such as Cathay Pacific International Chinese New Year Night Parade, Hong Kong East Asian Games, Brands and Products Expo etc.  My inter-personal and communication skills were enhanced.  All these valuable experiences allowed me to be familiarised with various event organisations.  Moreover, the internship experience gained in EGL Tours Company has further strengthened my knowledge and deepened my interest towards the tourism industry.

Lecturers are well equipped with professional knowledge and they would never hesitate to offer you guidance.  I was always impressed by their sharing of real-life experiences from the tourism and hospitality field, thereby attending their lectures was always worthwhile.  Besides, as English is the medium of instruction in the College, students can improve their language abilities, both written and spoken, through different activities that regularly held in the English Corner and the interactive teaching method by the native English teachers.

Studying at the College was an enjoyable experience which had really enriched my learning experience. 

Having finished my A-level in UK, I decided to continue my study in Hong Kong. However, I didn’t receive any offers from any local Universities last year. I didn’t give up and I had joined the College. After a year of study here, it was definitely not a regrettable decision joining here because I have learnt a lot throughout this year. The Higher Diploma in Nutrition and Food Management Programme in the College equipped me with indispensable knowledge in Biology, Nutrition and Food Chemistry. Besides, other courses such as Multimedia and Sociology provided me extra knowledge apart from sciences. Moreover, laboratory practices and some interesting field trips like visiting the Yakult Factory had further enriched my knowledge and interest in Food and Nutrition. I greatly enjoyed studying in the College this year and I sincerely appreciate all the professors and lecturers with their patient and kindness toward my study.

Human Resource Management" makes no difference to the "General Management".  However, upon completing this programme at the College, I came to realise that “Human Resource Management

The past 2-year experience in the College had broadened my exposure and I had found my goal as well.  I used to be passive, dependent and too timid to express my opinions in front of people.  The learning mode in the College, with numbers of presentations and group projects in each semester, encouraged us to learn proactively, albeit this learning approach did give me a hard time at the beginning.  

Now, I have already got used to this learning method.  My friends, schoolmates, the Programme Leader, Dr. Chan or even my family all said that I had changed a lot -- becoming more outgoing and mature.  Last but not least, the time in the College helped me adapt to the university life quickly.  I would say the knowledge learnt from textbooks and all soft skills like time management, communication skills is of great usefulness throughout my life. 

課程內容非常實用！講師授課時除注重理論外，亦會以他們的親身經驗作教材，令我們更清楚業界的運作。整個課程所教的知識十分實用，而實習時更會參與許多不同類型的活動，更有機會負責各大型活動中某一部份節目的籌劃工作。實習時，曾遇到一個刁難的客人，我便用上課堂上所學的理論和講師分享的實際經驗來處理，不但順利解決問題，還獲上司讚賞。

高考前已想修讀旅遊及酒店課程，相信『出路』會較理想，將來投身社會找工作時也不用擔心出路。另外，由於酒店有許多不同部門，讓我有機會參與不同的工作，可以學到更多不同範疇的知識。修讀期間，最大的得著可算是在課程的安排下到四季酒店的酒廊實習，期間所學所聞可謂獲益良多。除了實務經驗，同時也學會了人際溝通的技巧，了解到如何滿足不同客人的需要。畢業後希望可以繼續從事酒店前線的的工作，不斷增加自己在這行業內不同範疇的知識。
