College Life

Some people think that a higher diploma is not professional. However, I realised how blessed I am to study the Higher Diploma programme in Medical and Health Products Management. It provides me another platform to articulate to the university and helps me recognise my goals. Throughout the 2-year programme, I learnt different aspects of knowledge, which are useful for further studies. For example, Anatomy & Physiology, Pharmacology, Drug Action and so on. Through diversified learning, I have more choices to choose from university. Furthermore, all the lecturers are helpful and nice, as friends and teachers. Not only did they answer our academic questions, but also gave useful advice about further studies. Thanks for their enthusiastic teaching in the past two years.

After the public examination, I applied to HKU SPACE Po Leung Kuk Stanley Ho Community College for the Higher Diploma programme in Medical and Health Products Management. I am glad that I have had the opportunity to study at HPSHCC. During the past two years, I acquired medical knowledge in different aspects, such as physiology and drug action. Moreover, the programme structure is well-developed; it helps me to build a solid foundation on both practical and theoretical knowledge. Moreover, lecturers are very nice. All lecturers teach with heart and they are well prepared before the lectures. Thanks to all of them who have taught and supported me in these two years.

The programme taught me basic medical knowledge such as physiology and pharmacology, which is beneficial when I study related courses in the future. In addition to ordinary lectures, I can also try experiments such as pharmacy and dispensing in the laboratory through practical classes. This helped me to understand the technical contents in the lecture notes. Furthermore, lecturers always tried their best to teach us no matter during or after classes. They helped me to solve my questions on further studies too. Although there were not many face-to-face classes in the past two years due to the pandemic, I can still feel the efforts that lecturers put into teaching through online lessons.

I was extremely frustrated and puzzled when I received my DSE results because studying in university was just a pie in the sky. Fortunately, I enrolled in the Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management at HPSHCC. This program is not only teaching academically, but also practically. It was grateful that I participated in the internship programme in a healthcare center and the two-week Taichung Chungshan Medical University study tour. The experiential learning enhanced my knowledge in radiography and the experience helped me better prepare myself to work in a real-world environment. I also want to thank all of my passionate lecturers and counselors who enable me to successfully articulate to the university at the end.

The 2-year programme, Higher Diploma programme in Medical and Health Products Management includes subjects like pathophysiology and pharmacology etc. I have acquired lots of crucial medical knowledge which is practical for my future study in university. Besides, lecturers are very kind and supportive. With their guidance and encouragement, I never felt helpless in my study journey. All in all, I undoubtedly had a great time at HPSHCC. "Hard work is a two-way street, you'll get exactly what you put in."

The Higher Diploma programme in Medical and Health Products Management is definitely amazing. Courses such as pathophysiology, pharmacology, anatomy, and physiology are very useful to me. The lecturers are professional and supportive. With their guidance, I have acquired essential medical knowledge which is practical for my future study. In retrospect, I could not pursue my study without their support and encouragement and I undoubtedly had a great time at HPSHCC. Study well, have faith, and all the hard work paid off in the end. 

I always wanted to enter the health care industry, however my DSE results failed to bring me a ticket there. This programme brought what it promised - general medical and pharmaceutical knowledge, practical experiences, an insight in different health care aspects and most importantly, a second chance to enter the university. To all of you who are still considering: If you have determined to join the health care industry, this is the right choice for you!

I gained much knowledge on pharmacology, pathophysiology and so on, which paved the way for me to study the nursing programme in the university. And there are extracurricular activities such as site visits, allowing us to better understand what we have learned from the lectures. 

HPSHCC provides lots of opportunities for us to enrich ourselves. When I was in Year 1, I participated in the college voluntary team. It helped me to improve my confidence and organization skills, and I realized the importance of empathy. Furthermore, there were plenty of resources on further studies. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have to attend the lectures online. When I encountered any problems, the lecturers were available to answer my questions with patience .

Thank you for the help from all the lecturers at HPSHCC, they always support and encourage me to pursue my goal.

I learnt about this higher diploma programme from a talk presented by the programme lecturer. The lecturer shared many successful stories of graduates who have articulated to their dream university programmes. In the past two years of studies, I learnt knowledge of medical and pharmacological sciences which helped me to catch up the fundamental healthcare courses in the university. Besides, lectures are student-oriented; I was given different opportunities in internship and voluntary work.  We are not only equipped with theories, but also experiences related to healthcare field.

Throughout the two years of study at HPSHCC, I have acquired knowledge on medical and pharmacological sciences including anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, microbiology and pharmacology. I find anatomy and physiology are most interesting as both subjects give me an opportunity to learn more about human body structure and its functions. I have also developed medication preparation technique and dispensing skills in the lab sessions. 

I have learnt much knowledge regarding the medical field and this helps me find my target. All of the learning opportunities offered by the College confirmed my dream of being a healthcare professional. 

I enjoyed studying at HPSHCC for the past two years. The MHPM programme equipped me with useful knowledge related to medical and science such as Drugs, Pathophysiology, Anatomy and Microbiology. Moreover, my technical skills of pharmacy and nursing are enhanced by practical lectures. Besides, the College staff and lecturers are very kind and helpful. Therefore, I am grateful for all their support to fulfill my dream of being a competent nurse. If your HKDSE result is far beyond satisfaction, trust yourself, everything could be possible.
