College Life

The school life at HPSHCC was fruitful, where I have acquired industry-specific knowledge and practical skills. My two years of study are valuable and full of eye-opening experiences, including a remarkable internship opportunity in The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel. It has inspired me how to show visitors Hong Kong’s attractiveness and our heartwarming hospitality.

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.

HPSHCC’s Higher Diploma programme in Hotel Management has given me opportunities to learn about hotel management. Apart from subject theories, I have also learned some interesting knowledge about the industry. Although teaching was conducted online most of the time due to the pandemic, I still gained a lot over the two years, including team work experience. Great thanks to all lecturers who gave me advice and support so that I could find the right direction for my future career development.

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."

I want to say "thank you" to all of the lecturers who have taught me in these two years . As the President of 2019-2020 Students' Union at HPSHCC, I learnt a lot and I was glad to provide services to all students. I also wanted to thank the counsellors of Student Development Resource Centre; they gave me useful advice and support all the time.

Time flies. Two years of school life at HPSHCC has passed. I am glad to be a student ambassador in helping the promotion of the College. Affected by the pandemic, online teaching was adapted. However, this did not change my passion in the tourism and hospitality industry. Many thanks to all the lecturers who encouraged me to pursue my education goals.

Studying at HPSHCC for the past two years has been a turning point in my life as I have the second opportunity to get into university. People always say, ‘play hard, work hard’, which fully describes my study life. The programme curriculum covered tourism industry and events management. I had a deeper understanding about planning and managing events, which can prepare myself to further acquire knowledge in the events industry as my future career.
 
At HPSHCC, there are lots of extra-curricular activities that allow students to learn outside the classroom, and I also had a chance to make friends. I am also thankful to the lecturers and counsellors of SDRC who always gave me useful advice and support on achieving my goal.

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. 

This all-rounded programme equipped students with professional skills and knowledge, such as marketing and human resources management, which allowed us to pursue further studies in different fields. I would like to express my sincerest thanks to all of the lecturers and classmates who gave assistance to me in the past two years.
