College Life

The two-year programme is really meaningful for me as I determined to develop  my career in the field of nursing. During my study, the programme had arranged out-of-classroom activities such as visiting a laboratory at HKU and an elderly nursing home. The experience helped me to understand more about the medical fields. Although my study path is not a direct one, I did have a  fruitful experience. I am really  thankful to the lecturers because they not only taught me about the knowledge but also gave me support and encouragement.

I did not do very well in the HKDSE exam. At that time, I felt disappointed and lost about my future. Looking back, I really appreciated what I have learned and gained at this College. The programme equipped me with knowledge of pharmacology, physiology and anatomy, which helped me to adapt to the university curriculum especially the health-related courses. Also, lecturers play an essential role in this programme. I am thankful that they were willing to teach us patiently and share with us on further study and career pathways. I wouldn’t have such an achievement without the support of lecturers and my fellow schoolmates. I wish all students a fruitful and enjoyable experience at HPSHCC.

Being a student of the Higher Diploma programme of Medical and Healthcare Products Management, I was exposed to a wide range of professional topics. Therefore, multidisciplinary and practical studies are the characteristics of this programme. Through various modes of learning, we can apply what we have learned in the daily lessons. In addition, laboratory and pharmaceutical industry visits, as well as the summer internship deepened my understanding on medical knowledge. They really broadened my horizons and I got the opportunities to put into practice. I wanted to thank the College lecturers as I had benefited much from their inspiration and encouragement.

The Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management programme equips me with a lot of basic knowledge of medical related subjects while summer internship let me gain the physical working experience in related field. Joining different activities organised by the College like study tours, IELTS preparation course and university interview techniques also broaden my other types of knowledge. Since the teaching style and studying environment at the College are similar to that of the University, I believe it can definitely help me to easily adapt to my Radiography programme in the Poly U.

I was really grateful to study at HPSHCC for the past two years. The resources, teachers and classmates of the college were great. I felt more motivated to work hard with less pressure during the studies. Some of the lecturers were experienced social workers. They shared with us many real cases that they have dealt with in the past. They usually concerned about what type of social workers students are suitable for, and discussed the prospects so that I could have a clear plan about my career path.

HPSHCC provided students with different internship and overseas exchange opportunities. Students can apply the knowledge they learned in class and broaden their horizons. Last summer, we went to China Medical University Hospital for a two-week internship. We received practical training in the Testing Department and Pharmacy Department, which helped me understand the operations of the hospital. I really felt grateful that the college provided us such a valuable opportunity which made my study life fruitful and colourful.
