College Life

Lecturers at the College were very dedicated to teaching and I had benefited a lot from them. Apart from the knowledge gained from textbooks and lectures, I enjoyed various training in the medical and health products laboratory. I also had the opportunity to acquire practical work experience in a summer placement which helped me better understand the real job setting. The Higher Diploma programme is well-recognised by the local universities and I successfully articulated to a bachelor’s degree programme at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University  and went further studies afterwards. After years of hard work, I eventually obtained my Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

HPSHCC provided me with a lot of opportunities to take new challenges and broaden my horizon. The accounting programme did not only develop my knowledge in business fields like auditing and taxation, but also enhanced my interpersonal skills and presentation skills which are really practical for our future. The lecturers always paid full attention in teaching us that they create a wonderful studying environment. Besides, the fruitful of resources and facilities at the College provided me with a lot of chances and extraordinary experiences, such as internship program and study tour. During these two years, I learnt that we should never underestimate what you can accomplish.

Lecturers are always supportive to provide guidance and assistance in different aspects such as assignments, projects and even further studies or future careers. Moreover, ample opportunities from different placements also gave us real-life work experiences in the industry. I have worked in a travel agency, Travel Expert Limited, during summer. This valuable experience does not only provide a chance to meet different people and strengthen my problem-solving skill, but also deepens my interest towards the industry.

The College is a place for students to equip themselves and to fulfill their dreams. I enjoy studying here since I have made so many friends and gained lots of valuable experiences during my internship. Most importantly, lecturers are extremely nice and helpful.

Studying in the Medical and Health Products Management programme can prepare the students well for entering the university as it completed covers a wide range of areas. It provides students with various choices for the university. During my study at the College, I did not only learn the professional medical knowledge from the lectures, but also from the extracurricular activities such as pharmaceutical industry visit and seminar from the Marketing Director of Pfizer Hong Kong. It is unimaginable for me to obtain offers from two universities. Thanks for the lecturers and counsellors at the College so that I could achieve my aspiration.

Reviewing my 2-year study at the College, I would not say it is relaxing throughout all times, but I would not say it is tough either. Instead, it is one of the most memorable moments of my life. I still remember that anxious feeling I had when I first entered the College: worrying that I may not make friends, not being able to catch up with school work and was afraid my future may not go the way I want it to be. Now that I look back, I discover I did not only have buddies who can share each other’s deep feelings, lecturers who teach from their hearts and counsellors who always place student concerns as their top priority, but also knowledge and abilities that are useful in universities or even lifetime. With everyone’s support and encouragement, together with a do-my-best spirit on all assignments and presentations, my dream – entering a university that I have been longing for has come true.

The training on meeting deadlines of homework assignments and school projects has greatly improved my time management skills. I am grateful to be a part of the College where student needs are prioritised. Within these few years, I was exposed to many activities such as the singing of the College -- winning 1^st and 2^nd for duet and solo verse respectively. The opportunity gave me insight on my capabilities and was definitely one of my most unforgettable moments in my life! I am happy and proud to say that I have shared a memorable school experience with many amazing friends and College staff as well.

Studying at the College for two years did not only build up my knowledge in tourism and event management field through participating in lots of placements, but also helped me to find my future career goal. Besides, lecturers’ sharing was so useful that provided me with an insight about the real working environment in tourism industry. For me, the most unforgettable memory in the College was cooperating with the student union and students from the entire programme in order to co-ordinate a singing contest for the College. Although there were conflicts and difficulties throughout the preparation process, it was so happy to see the event was conducted smoothly finally. If you are interested in tourism and event management, you will find this programme so useful and beneficial.

It was a valuable experience for me to study in the Higher Diploma for Legal Executives programme. Throughout the programme, I did acquire legal knowledge in different areas of law, which gave me a comprehensive picture of the legal system. Taking this programme, my critical thinking and presentation skills were greatly enhanced. I really enjoyed my time at the College and appreciated for all that our lecturers have given.

I had a great time at the College over the past two years. The teaching method here is similar to University, all students are required to take initiative to learn and become independent. Life at the College is very fruitful; there are several field trips and visits in my programme. Thus, there are summer exchange programmes and also different academic projects which have broaden my horizons. Moreover, studying social sciences trains students’ critical thinking.

I had never thought of enrolling to one of the best local university, CUHK, after having unsatisfactory performance in public examinations. I am very thankful for the College lecturers who are passionate to teach and willing to give me assistance whenever I need help. In these two years, I achieved more in-depth biochemistry knowledge which prepares me to study at university. Other than that, the on-site visit to Cathay Pacific Catering Services as well as the Seoul Study Tour broadened my horizons and brought me inspirations. The College not only gives me knowledge, but also enlightenment that strengthens me to be a more intelligent, insightful and mature individual.

Because of my determination to get a place in University, I chose to study a two-year Higher Diploma programme without doubts after public exam. The College provides a great learning environment and quality lecturers. Immersed in a good learning atmosphere, not only can I gain the professional knowledge in the books, but also have great companionship for studying and striving together, my faith in entering University has hence been reinforced during these two years. I also realise that being a University student is important, but keep on learning is what we should pursue lifelong.
