College Life

In the past two years, I had a happy College life. Apart from learning accounting, I identified my goal and objective. Lecturers were patient and willing to teach us beyond class time. They would also provide advices on further education or career development that help students to identify their future direction. Students were required to complete different projects and assignments in group, which effectively enhanced our communication skills. Moreover, the College encouraged students to participate in extracurricular competitions, so as to practice what we have learned. These experiences laid a solid foundation for my further education or employment.

Finally, I got an offer from HKUST! All subjects of the Medical and Health Products Management programme laid a solid foundation for my future studies and careers, especially in the area of chemical engineering. Moreover, this programme does provide students who have different goals and interests with multiple articulation pathways.

In these past two years of studying at the College, the College has given me the best opportunities to further my education. Through my lecturers’ teachings, the study tours, and the scholarship opportunities, I am now able to continue my studies at university and have also made several lifelong friends and connections. I am grateful for the advice and guidance I have received during my time at the College.

The unexpected always happens, my public examination results were not satisfactory but I did not give up. I still worked hard in my study of Higher Diploma programme in Medical and Health Products Management,from which I have learned different medical knowledge such as human physiology, medical equipment, drugs and their usages. Activities such as the hospital visit, Admission Seminarfrom different universities and recruitment talk were also organized, which is important to strengthen my knowledge and information in my further study. I would also like to thank the lecturerswho are enthusiastic and well-prepared about their work.

During the past three years studying in the College, I really want to thank all the lecturers for their great support. Not only limited to their useful advices provided, they strengthened my knowledge in medical-related subjects, such as pharmacology, physiology and pathophysiology. Moreover, studying at this College, students are not only limited to studying. There are many opportunities for us to improve our communication and interpersonal skills. I participated different activities organised by the College, such as student ambassador and student helper. These activities helped broaden my horizons and further enhance my interpersonal skills.

I really enjoy the great time at the College. Not only have I built up a great friendship with my lecturers, but also I have met lots of good friends who always support me and be my comrade-in-arms. Studying in Nutrition and Food Management is fruitful and dynamic and the college has furnished us with a great deal of precious opportunities of doing laboratory experiments and cooking lessons. In these two years, I realise that even though knowledge is important, it is also vital that we need to have good interpersonal and time management skills. As a science student, we also need to learn how to handle with things in a more logical and sensible manner for better study and future career.

A two-year school life in the College was inspiring and meaningful. Apart from learning pharmacology and pathophysiology, I learnt professional skills in dispensing and patient counselling, putting theory into practice. Interacting with lecturers and group mates, lectures became fun and interesting. Besides, admission talks and student counselling held by SDRC provided a lot of information about future studies and careers. These enabled me to have a clear direction about my future.

Due to the unideal result of Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination, I could not enter the university I wanted. For my further study in the university, I chose to study a higher diploma programme provided by the College. I felt confused and worried at the very beginning of my college life. Luckily, I came across some classmates who did not only solve the problems and difficulties with me, but also shared their experiences and feelings. The encouragement and assistance from the partners are important for facilitating a successful college life. Moreover, the excellent lecturers equipped me with the subject knowledge and provided me with helpful opinions for my further study and further career, which made me be brave to face the challenges after completing practical and interesting programme.

HPSHCC has given me another chance to get into the university. In these two years, all lecturers did their best to encounter my difficulties when I needed help. Apart from the knowledge in sport and recreation industry, the College has also provided us with the internship from which practical experience we gained is beneficial for our future. Besides, the facilities at the College such as library let students focus on their studies and assignments. I believe the knowledge and skills that I have learnt from the College definitely help me to adapt to my coming university school life.

Throughout my school life in the College, I have grown to be a more mature person. Also, what I have learnt from here is fundamental for my future study. I appreciate a lot for the enthusiasm and patience from all the lecturers and counselors. Now I am ready to have a brand new and challenging university life!

Today, I am very grateful that I made a wise decision two years ago. In these two years, I have been consistently impressed with our lecturers’ rich industrial experience as well as their unconditional support and care to every student. Beyond doubt, a 6-month internship was truly a precious experience. My internship as a sales and marketing trainee at The Peninsula Hong Kong, one of the most leading and reputable hotels in the world, not only provided me with a learning opportunity to apply my knowledge and skills learnt from class, but also learned the skills of official website maintenance, online travel agent update and social media monitoring. All these golden learning opportunities help me to test and break through my limits. Having worked closely with teammates and many online travel agents within the industry enhanced my job knowledge and built a strong foundation of my future career development.

After studying for two years, my legal knowledge and professional training had equipped me for further studies. I wanted to thank my family and Student Development Resources Centre for their support and encouragement in two fruitful years of study and all the great opportunities provided by the College.
