College Life

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the counsellors of conducting the university interview workshops. Without their assistances and efforts, I would not able to obtain the offers from the local universities. I think the workshop helped me a lot, especially my presentation skills. From the workshop, I learned how to write a self-introduction and to answer interview questions properly. Moreover, the Counsellors taught us various interview techniques, as well as understanding the problems from a different point of view. Participants of the workshop also supported each other, we had a wonderful time.

The Higher Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality Management programme combines theories, practical knowledge, skills and experience. I have learnt to be a professional service operator by acquiring more industry knowledge via the placement in the real market situation. The programme offers a job placement to every student to develop the career perspective. I enjoy this valuable opportunity, in which the working experience has improved my communication and problem-solving skills. Furthermore, the ideal study atmosphere and the professional lecturers are the key elements for me to achieve my goal.

Time flies, after two years’ studying of the Associate Degree programme at this College, I am well-equipped with the elementary knowledge in the fields of Communication, Public Relations and Journalism. With the patient and professional lecturers, I have learnt lots of useful concepts and theories, which greatly aroused my interest in the area of Journalism. Studying at this College is an important path for me to articulate to the University in order to accomplish my goal to be a professional journalist.

The Higher Diploma in Business (Accounting) programme has broaden my horizons and I could apply the knowledge that I have learnt after graduation. As a committee member of the College’s Accounting and Business Society, we organised a lot of activities, such as war games and company visits, which my organisation and presentation skills were enhanced.  I am very glad that soon after graduation, I find a job. In the coming academic year, I will attend an accounting degree programme jointly organised by HKU SPACE and the Curtin University (Australia).

Through studying this programme, I was able to gain knowledge in both Social Sciences and Business disciplines, and to understand the importance of psychology in business management. I have developed my interest and study with fruitful knowledge learnt in the diversified curriculum. Moreover, lecturers are knowledgeable and supportive. They are willing to help whenever we encounter problems in learning. I believe that the knowledge and experience gained in the college will be beneficial to my further study in business management, as well as my career in the future.

The best word used to describe my College life would be “unexpected”. I enrolled in this College and the programme without any plan. I could not imagine of being able to meet a number of people, such as classmates, lecturers and counsellors, who are the ones really support and care about every student. Undoubtedly, all the experiences I got at the College, not only led to my own all-round development like being a Student Ambassador, but also promote others’ betterments like participating in the Cambodia study and service tour. Now, my dream of getting a place in the HKU comes true!

In the past two years, I have leant the skills and knowledge in medical and health products management, which is useful for me to pursue my future career in drugs or nursing industries. This programme also provided me with an internship opportunity of which I can apply and strengthen the knowledge and skills. Thanks to the all-rounded training of the programme. I have received degree offers from different universities and can fulfill my dream in this field.

Before enrolling in the Higher Diploma programme, my goal is to be admitted by the local university but after the past one year’s wonderful time at the College, what I have gained is far more than what I predict. Firstly, I met a group of good friends, which we learn and grow together. We worked hardly, even until mid-night, on the projects and exams. Secondly, through participating in the College’s mentorship programme, I could experience those mentors’ strong passions. Thirdly, lecturers are responsible and patient in teaching us. Last but not least, as the way of learning is totally different from that in the secondary school, my learning attitude changed. I am now more proactive in learning … Time flies and I am now more mature, with confident to strive for my dream, to be a registered nurse.

I did not have a dream in the past but now, I have my goals and targets. I appreciate and thanks all people I met in this College, especially the lecturers and counsellors. They did not only provide me with academic knowledge, but also cared about my future plan and development. Lecturers are friendly, nice and patient. They are willing to help me to overcome many difficulties about my study. Counsellors also took the most important role in assisting me to pave my way for my future. They helped me in all aspects, ranging from university choices, future careers, university interviews, to all daily problems. I feel lucky to be one of the students at this College.

The College is a place that gives you courage and motivation to move forward. With the full support from lecturers and schoolmates, I have the boldness and energy to study hard and set goals for my life. I will always appreciate what I have gained from HPSHCC.

Higher Diploma in Business (Management and Psychology) equips students with both business and social sciences knowledge. Students will be able to apply them in their workplace in  future. The theories of psychology are interesting and useful especially when dealing with interpersonal relationships in the business world. Students studying at the College will be provided with lots of opportunities to join study tours, internship programmes and volunteer services. We can learn more about the society and enhance  our communication skills after meeting different people at the College.

The Higher Diploma in Medical and Health Product Management programme offers a variety of courses to students. From microbiology to pharmacology, all subjects equip me with the fundamental concepts and knowledge of medical sciences. Lecturers are caring as they always answer our questions and give suggestions about our future plan. With their helping hands, I find my interest about sciences and able to continue my study in related subject in the University.
