College Life

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. 

At the time of confusion and despair with my unsatisfactory DSE results, the Higher Diploma programme in Medical and Health Products Management (MHPM) of HPSHCC accepted me and showed me the way to a prosperous future. Despite the tight study schedule  of the programme, the College lecturers patiently taught us with methods and knowledge, such as anatomy & pathophysiology, pharmaceutics and microbiology, in the settings of university-type learning. The overseas and summer internship opportunities at Shenzhen University and Chung Shan Medical University in Taichung, provided us with a great insight in different health-related fields, such as nursing, occupational therapy, radiography therapy, paving the paths for students to prepare well for their future careers.  Other than studying, various outside classroom activities are available to allow us a rich and diverse learning experience. I am graceful that I joined V-circle Voluntary Service Team and Student Ambassador. Being a member in both teams pushed me out of the comfort zone, resulting in lots of interactions with people and involvements in college and community works. 

To me, the college life at HPSHCC is a memorable experience for I have gained a lot during the studies. Lecturers try their best to inculcate students with love and knowledge; they are willing to help us anytime. Also, the student counsellors of SDRC are professional and they have provided us with guidance in career and studies. Some students may think that studying a sub-degree programme is a waste of time and effort, and they are less competitive than the others who are studying in the university. I don't see it this way. Everyone has his or her potential. We should not underestimate ourselves.  Find the right path, make the right decision and do your best to reach the goal.

I always have an interest in the study of nursing and biology. Although my DSE result was not good enough to enter the university, I was admitted to the Higher Diploma programme in Medical and Health Products Management. This programme provided me with knowledge of medical and pharmacological sciences, and helped me build a good foundation for my further studies in Nursing.
Furthermore, the lecturers are helpful to answer my questions about study, so that I could equip myself for the university studies. Furthermore, the College arranged different intern opportunities for students. For example, I had a 2-week internship in a hospital in Taichung where I could practise and apply the knowledge. The experience was valuable.

The experiences of my two years of college life helped me find out the directions and goals in my career. Apart from the academic skills and knowledge, the College provided different extra-curricular activities, such as overseas exchange and internships, which enriched our exposure. I am sincerely grateful for the teachers, counselors and my fellow classmates for the opportunities and support in these two years.

I am so glad that I received numerous supports from my classmates and lecturers. They helped me a lot whenever I had difficulties. In addition, the learning environment in HPSHCC is really positive and encouraging. Some people may think that students who failed to get good grades in DSE are losers, I beg to differ. As long as you don't give up and keep doing the best that you can, I believe you will achieve your goal.
