College Life

I felt grateful for I have studied my higher diploma programme at HPSHCC. I wanted to thank all of myteachers, student counsellors and friends for their advice and assistance. The HD in MHPM programme covers many subjects such as Sciences, Drugs, Anatomy and Physiology. Lecturers also give us advice on pathway of study or work. Besides studying, we can participate in different internship progarmmes or activities.I have joined ActiveCarePharmacy Limited as a student intern and V-circle to do voluntary community works. All of these experiences gave me a memorable school life.

I was not a hard working student in secondary school; consequently, I did not do well in the public examination. Thus studying in the university seemed like an unattainable goal. Fortunately, I enrolled in the Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Products Management at HPSHCC. The programme curriculum is practical and the lectures are interesting which has greatly aroused my interest in studying. Moreover, I have made a lot of good friends in the College. We always help and encourage one another in studying. After two years of hard work, I finally achieved my goal. I really treasured my time and memory at HPSHCC.

This programme provides the basic knowledge of nutrition which let me prepare and develop my future goal. Through different field trips, it let me know more about the Food Industry in Hong Kong and the volunteer work strengthened my communication and collaboration skills. I appreciate the college has  given a lot of valuable opportunities to me.

To work in the hospitality industry is always my dream, so I decided to study this course after getting  unsatisfactory DSE results. The college lecturers provide us with abundent support and information during the study. The programme also provides a precious chance for me to work as a trainee in the Peninsula Hotel to experience the real hotel operations for 6 months.

Due to teaching with great care by each lecturer, I will be able to continue my studies in the coming years. Of course, the programme curriculum helped me a lot. It improved and consolidated my language foundation, and provided professional knowledge which has helped me pursue my career goals. 

The programme offers professional knowledge and skills in tourism and event industry. 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. 

After I finished my high school diploma, I felt very confused and frustrated, because my DSE results could not reach university requirements. Also, the lack of education level made it difficult to find a job too. Therefore, I randomly chose this subject to study in the beginning. Before starting this program, I experienced failure in learning, and lost confidence in learning. But while studying, I found it is more interesting than I thought; I learned medical knowledge and instrument operation knowledge. This is specific knowledge that others may not know. At the same time, the program teaches interesting knowledge in biology, such as pathophysiology, anatomy and pharmacy, which are more professional. Other than knowledge, lecturers are also enthusiastic in teaching too. If we ask questions, pay attention in class and diligently review, we will be able to get good grades; so I regained my interest in learning now. Although this course is very interesting and useful, however, if the case that we want to have further studies in university, language is a very important factor, so students may need to put much effort and study the language to fulfill the basic requirements of getting into university.
