College Life

As I have unsatisfied results in the HKDSE, I finished a Foundation Diploma and was admitted to the Higher Diploma in Nutrition and Food Management in HPSHCC. During my two-year study, I recognised the joy of study thanks to the patient guidance of the lecturers, the unwavering support from fellow classmates and the good learning atmosphere of the College. Last but not least, chances are reserved for those who strive for the best, so I finally achieved my goal to start studying in the University.

I chose to study at HPSHCC as my path to enter university after receiving the result of HKDSE. The lecturers from Higher Diploma in Nutritional and Food Management are very helpful and kind. Moreover, counsellors from SDRC gave students practical advice when choosing our future pathway. They also provided a lot of information about different universities and gave us a lot of support.

Being a mature student among my fellow school mates, my study at the College has equipped me with professional knowledge and skills in the field of nutrition and food science. The College allows me to achieve my learning and career aspirations, and I am exhilarated to continue my undergraduate study at CUHK in the coming September.

I am glad to be part of HPSHCC and happy to receive an offer from my desired university programme. Life of post-secondary education is vibrant and fun. If you are outgoing, you can make a lot of new friends. If you are an introverted person like me, don't worry, you can focus on studies. When you are understressed, you can do something you like to relax. Don’t be shy to seek help and advice from the lecturers when you have a problem. They are always willing to help.

Big thanks to all lecturers and student counsellors of HPSHCC. Throughout the past 2 years, we did not have much chance to meet in-person owing to pandemic; lecturers still paid much effort on online teaching and reviewing our learning progress. We were given enough time to finish our assignments. We built a solid foundation and I am confident to continue my journey in the university. 

Having the chance to study food and nutrition management in HPSHCC during these 2 years was fruitful and challenging, as I am really interested in this area.  I am grateful to have met good teachers here, who taught me useful knowledge of nutrition. Through joining study tours, site visits to local food manufacturers and voluntary services, I could learn more about the industrial practices other than knowledge from books, which gave me a clearer goal towards my future.  In these 2 years, I experienced that determination and hard work are the foundation of success, you can also pursue your dreams.

In the past 2 years, the lecturers were highly concerned about students' learning progress.  They held consultation sessions regularly, helping us to revise what we have learnt in class. 

The 2-year study at HPSHCC was not easy. I have encountered difficulties about my studies. Fortunately, our College Lecturers  offered me help to go through the difficult times. Also, counselors from Student Development and Resource Centre provided useful information about Non-JUPAS. That really helped me to prepare well for admission interviews. I am truly grateful that I chose HPSHCC for it provided me with a supportive, caring environment for learning.
