College Life

I am glad that I can study this program. I was no longer confused about my further study and getting a job by the helpful advice given by teachers and well planned program. At the start of year 1, I told myself I should try my best to study this program and should not let me regret again as I had already wasted 6 years in secondary school. My effort that have made did paid. I am really happy that I can study at my favorite university and program next year.

To describe these two years in HPSHCC, I would use the word fruitful. What I have gained here not only include the related knowledge, but also the opportunities to explore and experience different kinds of activities related to the field. For example, some classmates and I were then allowed to visit a food bank after holding a food donation event in campus to collect food from schoolmates and staff. Here, you will never feel alone or helpless. All teachers and staff  are willing to help you no matter what kind of difficulties.

Studying this programme in HPSHCC is enjoyable and fruitful, not only did the lecturers teach me knowledge in the field of food and nutrition; the programme also equipped me with practical skills. Moreover, it provided me with a vast array of opportunities to participate in different events, such as the Special Olympics Hong Kong, UCN and so on. I also met friends and lecturers who are all sincere and willing to help. Although it takes a longer way to enter the university, I am grateful for the supports from friends and family, and also from the college.

During the two-year fruitful study of Higher Diploma in Nutrition and Food Management at the College, I have not only learned some fundamental science and nutrition knowledge, but also experienced many interesting practice sessions. I need to credit the lecturers of the College for inspiring me lots of insights. They are really professional and give endless help and advice to me during my study. Besides, some of the courses are similar to HKU, this definitely paved the way for my university study. On the other hand, cooking at a well-equipped nutrition laboratory and conducting practical works at HKU laboratory are all indelible experiences for me. These valuable exposures similar to the practical world really facilitated my study and enriched my knowledge. Because of all these precious moments I had at HPSHCC family with my friends, I enjoyed my study very much.

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.
