College Life

International tourism knowledge learnt from lectures, interpersonal, organisation and events management skills gained through group projects and hands-on experience through placements are essential to be a successful tour guide. During these 2 years, with the support and encouragement from my lecturers and schoolmates, I gained my confidence and improved my command of English.  I am grateful that I have made good friends and have had precious memories of my college life. 

This program not only offers the basic knowledge of tourism and events management, but also allows students to learn more through job placements, site visits, guest lectures and internships. Participating in placements enables me to understand more about the operations in the tourism industry. Besides acquiring knowledge from books, student life at HPSHCC is full of opportunities to prepare for the future. The lecturers are dedicated, the counsellors are supportive and the schoolmates are friendly. All in all, I have definitely have had a great two years here and the rewards are beyond my expectations.

It has been a great experience and training for me at HPSHCC. All the lecturers are very helpful and caring. Not only do they try their very best to assist us with our studies, they also give us valuable advice on our future prospects. Higher Diploma in Tourism and Events Management is a programme that provides theoretical knowledge as well as internships to apply what we have learnt. It enhances our industry experience and communication skills. No matter if you want to work or study further after the two-year Higher Diploma, this programme will be a great stepping stone to achieve your dreams.

In the past two years of college study, I have identified my strengths and weaknesses more accurately, and thus established my future direction more clearly. Although my academic path is sometimes rocky, I have been able to overcome barriers with the help from kind and thoughtful lecturers and consultants. I thank them so much!

I gained lots of knowledge about tourism and travel industry during these two years at PCC. I also had a lot of placement and internship experiences which let me know more about the operation of different types of exhibitions and travel agencies. Lecturers are very helpful to assist my difficulties in doing projects or making future plan. I am really glad that I met my classmates who gave me support and made my school life more blissful.

Apart from the theories and concepts learnt from text books, students can apply their knowledge in a practical way by joining different placement works and internships. Also, these placement works provide a platform for us to improve our communication skills. On the other hand, most of the students will face some teamwork which innovative ideas and the collaboration between teammates are very important. All these training that I have gone through has definitely laid a strong foundation for my future studies as well as career goal. The lecturers are very reliable and professional, their relationship with students are like friends. Not only are they pleased to help students with their works, but also eager to provide students with advices on their future studies and also career planning by share their personal experiences.

Lecturers are always supportive to provide guidance and assistance in different aspects such as assignments, projects and even further studies or future careers. Moreover, ample opportunities from different placements also gave us real-life work experiences in the industry. I have worked in a travel agency, Travel Expert Limited, during summer. This valuable experience does not only provide a chance to meet different people and strengthen my problem-solving skill, but also deepens my interest towards the industry.

Studying at the College for two years did not only build up my knowledge in tourism and event management field through participating in lots of placements, but also helped me to find my future career goal. Besides, lecturers’ sharing was so useful that provided me with an insight about the real working environment in tourism industry. For me, the most unforgettable memory in the College was cooperating with the student union and students from the entire programme in order to co-ordinate a singing contest for the College. Although there were conflicts and difficulties throughout the preparation process, it was so happy to see the event was conducted smoothly finally. If you are interested in tourism and event management, you will find this programme so useful and beneficial.

I had a memorable and unforgettable time in the College. I found my dream and targets. The College emphasises on self-learning and active learning. Apart from lectures, students were given the opportunity to participate in different placements so that we were able to meet different people and gain many practical experiences. Moreover, I have gained not only knowledge but also friendship as the lecturers and the classmates gave me full support during my study and make my life joyful. Choosing to study at the College is definitely the right choice for me.

The Higher Diploma in Tourism and Events Management programme offered by the College provided me with professional training, specialised knowledge and practical job placements that enabled me to attain proficiency in the field of my interest.

Throughout the past 2 years, I was given ample opportunities to gain hands-on experiences and broaden my horizon in different events in Hong Kong, such as Cathay Pacific International Chinese New Year Night Parade, Hong Kong East Asian Games, Brands and Products Expo etc.  My inter-personal and communication skills were enhanced.  All these valuable experiences allowed me to be familiarised with various event organisations.  Moreover, the internship experience gained in EGL Tours Company has further strengthened my knowledge and deepened my interest towards the tourism industry.

Lecturers are well equipped with professional knowledge and they would never hesitate to offer you guidance.  I was always impressed by their sharing of real-life experiences from the tourism and hospitality field, thereby attending their lectures was always worthwhile.  Besides, as English is the medium of instruction in the College, students can improve their language abilities, both written and spoken, through different activities that regularly held in the English Corner and the interactive teaching method by the native English teachers.

Studying at the College was an enjoyable experience which had really enriched my learning experience.
