College Life

Professional lecturers, good learning environment, wonderful experiment experience, I can find them all at the College. The HD in Medical and Health Products Management programme provided me with lots of different subjects which have professional medical knowledge, such as Drug Action and Use of Medicine, Anatomy and Physiology. These subjects gave me fundamental knowledge related to nursing and helped me to be a nursing assistant during my summer holidays. Now, I have determined to develop my career in the nursing field and to contribute to the society.

I really appreciate the hard work and care of the lecturers at HPSHCC. They are professional,  patient and willing to give us useful advice on studies. They also spent time to visit students where they were working as interns. Besides, I realized that interest in the study is a great driving force to strive and to excel.  Hope all of you can find your interest, realize your potentials and achieve your goals.

After the 3-year learning at the College, I found my goal to be a registered nurse. Although the pathway to reach the goal is long and hard, finally, I can achieve it via advancing to the Master of Nursing Science programme offered by CUHK. Thanks to the College for providing me with an opportunity to further continue studying after my failure in the public exam. Moreover, I started to realise my weaknesses. Lastly, the basic knowledge of medical science, including anatomy and physiology, microbiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, did help me a lot when I am studying the Master programme.

My time at the College helped me understand that frustration in public exams doesn’t necessarily mean failure in your life. I was so inspired by the earnest lecturers. Furthermore, I am so grateful that I have gained the genuine experience in the various internship programme. I have to say, the College made me an all-rounded student and I am ready to start a new chapter, to be a pharmacist in the future.

HPSHCC has provided me an opportunity to be back to school again. Before studying at HPSHCC, I worked as a clinic nurse for a few years. I used to be dependent and lacked self-confidence. The programme allowed me to develop critical thinking. Through class projects and presentations, I  became more confident. Besides, I have learnt a lot from my Programme Leader and lecturers. I believe my experience at HPSHCC and the knowledge I gained were of great benefit to my career development and further studies.

The learning atmosphere here is free and supportive, emphasising on students’ independence and initiative. The programme syllabus covers a broad range of professional topics, including biological, pharmaceutical and medical management, helping me to identify my strength and arouse my interest in studying. Through the summer internship referred by the College, I have become more responsible and down-to-earth, and started to establish my academic and career directions. Besides, the College also provided me with various kinds of learning opportunities, such as class representative programme, outdoor visits, internships and scholarships. These experiences have broadened my horizons. With such strong academic training and non-academic exposure, I am admitted to the university. I would say the College is a very good platform for students to understand themselves, and become a mature person.
