College Life

This programme provided me with the basic knowledge of community health, which is useful for further studies in related discipline. I had an elated College life in the past two years as I met many new good friends, as well as those nice and patient lecturers. They provided many precious opinions on my study plan, which definitely relieved my anxiety. I would like to express my heart-felt gratitude to them. Furthermore, my leadership skills were enhanced as I participated in different leadership programmes organised by the College. Lastly, I wish all of you have a prosperous future.

The two-year Higher Diploma in Nutrition and Food Management has taught me a wide variety of knowledge related to food and nutrition. It has also given me a valuable chance to meet new friends and study with them. HPSHCC’s Student Development Resources Centre (SDRC) hosts further study seminars frequently, guiding students through the university application process. I got a lot of useful information thanks to them.

Lecturers are friendly and they care about every student very much. They always encourage and teach us a motto “attitude decides your future”. After that, my learning attitude changed. I started to work harder on my study, which my results have been greatly improved. Besides, the well-equipped facility, such as the Food and Nutritional Science Laboratory, provided an ideal place for practical classes in which my practical skills were enhanced. I had lots of valuable memories at this wonderful College.

My past 2 years learning at this College is wonderful! I learnt a lot. All classmates are friendly and willing to share their learning experiences with each other. Lecturers are extremely professional that they always provide me with the essential knowledge for further studies. Besides, I particularly appreciate the staff, especially the counsellors of this College. They give crucial advice about my further study, especially during the process of choosing the suitable programme for further articulation. Thanks this College for giving me a second chance to pursue my dream, to be a University student.

Studying at this College has benefitted me enormously. Apart from gaining food and nutritional science knowledge in lectures, we also had hands-on application, such as designing meals and cooking in the nutrition laboratory. Lecturers are friendly and encouraging; they were patient in dealing with my further study enquiries and gave me helpful suggestions when I was feeling lost. The Student Development Resources Centre (SDRC) offers various kinds of activities, like talks on further studies and career planning, mock interviews and consultations, all of which have bettered my understanding of university admission requirements and improved my interview skills. In addition, my interpersonal skills and social network have been enhanced through participating in the Students' Union and other societies. All in all, studying at HPSHCC has facilitated my all-round development.

I am glad that I enrolled in this programme after the HKDSE. Thanks for the lecturers because I have gained the fundamental knowledge and prepared myself for entering the university. They are willing to give suggestions whenever we have a question. To finish the assignments on time and to revise every week are two big tips for achieving good results at this College. Although it is a bit longer for successfully articulating to the university, it is still worth to try our best to strive for our goals.

I really enjoy the great time at the College. Not only have I built up a great friendship with my lecturers, but also I have met lots of good friends who always support me and be my comrade-in-arms. Studying in Nutrition and Food Management is fruitful and dynamic and the college has furnished us with a great deal of precious opportunities of doing laboratory experiments and cooking lessons. In these two years, I realise that even though knowledge is important, it is also vital that we need to have good interpersonal and time management skills. As a science student, we also need to learn how to handle with things in a more logical and sensible manner for better study and future career.

It is worthwhile to study the program of Higher Diploma in Nutrition and Food Management which provides me the knowledge of nutrition, the processing of food and biochemistry. Most of the courses are related to human life. Since life science is one of my interested fields, this program is definitely suitable for me. I chose this program as it is related to nursing in some aspects, such as the course of Human physiology and Anatomy. That means studying in it would be a stepping-stone and prerequisite for me to get in Bachelor of Nursing in The University of Hong Kong. I am so glad that I finally achieve my goal. It is possible to get a ticket of university if you put effort and hard work.

'We are what we eat!'This statement really impresses me a lot when I first looked at the information about this program. And now, I found that the time spent in the College is really unforgettable and I have gained a fruitful experience.  The College provides me with a comfortable environment to learn and meet friends. Students of Nutrition and Food Management do not only learn in the classroom, we have much more fun in the food laboratory! We can decide our own recipes and learn different practical skills and knowledge at the same time. Moreover, Seoul study tour broadens my horizon last year. I am glad to have been one of the students in tour studying!

Studying Nutrition and Food Management in the College was incredibly fruitful and enjoyable. It made me become all-rounded and sent me to the path to university. Not only did the program place the emphasis on theoretical knowledge, but it also stressed much more on practical aspect. Apart from academic field, the College provided students with a myriad of opportunities to broaden their horizon via other learning experience such as the trip in South Korea, which was my great experience to study the culture of another country. Also, the counsellors in Students Development Resource Centre (SDRC) were supportive to render assistance and provide professional career guidance to us.

The good learning atmosphere, the interactive teaching style, the teachers’ encouragement, the wonderful facilities and practice opportunities provided by the College made me become more mature. I was a student highly dependent on teachers in the past. However, studying at the College trained me to be more analytical and independent. Moreover, the Student Development Resources Centre in the College constantly held some talks about the university admission, such as application and interview skills, which helped me a lot in the University interviews. Finally, I get the offer from CUHK in third round interview. To conclude, the college life is hard but meaningful!

I have experienced an interesting college life and learnt deeper knowledge in nutrition at the College. The study mode here is similar to the one at universities, for example, an online platform is set for exchanging information between the College and students. The Student Development Resources Centre (SDRC) at the College also helps us to understand our career paths by providing career talks, graduate’s sharing and one-on-one consultation. The courses in programme equip my expertise in fundamental sciences and knowledge in food and nutrition.
