College Life

As a mature student whose previous experience was entirely in the property management industry, this Higher Diploma programme has broadened my understanding of the surveying profession and given me a clearer picture of what it means to be a surveying professional. In this field, it is crucial to possess both technical expertise in real estate and a sound understanding of legal principles.

The lecturers are all seasoned professionals or practitioners with extensive experience in their respective fields. They have enriched our learning by sharing valuable practical knowledge and real-world industry insights. Whether you are a student who has just completed the HKDSE or a mature student seeking a new career direction, HPSHCC offers a supportive and professional environment in which to gain practical knowledge, develop new skills, and build a clear career pathway.

Studying the Higher Diploma in Surveying and Property Management has been an incredibly rewarding experience, equipping me with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the industry. My favorite subjects were Project Management for Surveying Profession and Planning and Development, as they provided hands-on insights into coordinating construction projects effectively. Learning how to change the land use terms, manage procurement, and oversee project timelines gave me a clear understanding of real-world project execution. I am grateful for the supportive lecturers and the industry-relevant curriculum, which have built a solid foundation for my future career as a professional surveyor. I highly recommend this programme to anyone pursuing a future career in surveying or property management.

Two years ago, uncertain about my career and academic path, I discovered this programme, which has been transformative.

All the lecturers are professionals with practical experience in their fields, and they willingly sharing up-to-date insights into related careers, which enriches our understanding. Through this wealth of knowledge and shared experience, I have gained a solid foundation. Therefore, I highly recommend this programme to students interested in property management or surveying.

My two years in the Higher Diploma in Surveying and Property Management have been incredibly rewarding. I gained practical skills in building maintenance, valuation, and property law, while internships provided valuable real-world industry insights. The programme’s university-style teaching, including research projects and case studies, honed my critical thinking and adaptability, preparing me well for my degree at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Don’t let setbacks define you. With hard work and determination, a Higher Diploma can be a strong stepping stone to university. I’m grateful for my lecturers’ guidance and classmates’ support — this journey has shown me that persistence opens doors.

I chose this higher diploma programme because of its practicality and the labour demand of the industry. Teachers are experienced and professional.

HPSHCC provides a quality learning environment and adequate resources on solving students’ learning difficulties. I can focus on studies and move towards my goals.

I have learned a lot of professional knowledge related to real estate such as concepts of housing studies and fundamental legal knowledge.

I believe that the way of teaching and learning at HPSHCC is similar to that of the university.  I learned to prepare well for lectures and examinations so as to achieve good results. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams.

My life at HPSHCC was memorable and fruitful. The HD equips me with knowledge and skills in property management and surveying. Lecturers were undoubtedly professional. They have shared with us their practical experience in this field and are patientin answering our questions.

Studying in HPSHCC has been a precious experience for me. HPSHCC provides an ideal place for me to study and to apply my knowledge into work during the summer internship. I was not only equipped with a wide range of professional knowledge, but also gained practical skills such as communication skills and problem solving skills. Teachers are well-prepared for the lectures and they are experts in the real estate industry. Spending my time in HPSHCC was the wisest choice I have ever made.
