2012–13 Year 1, Higher Diploma in Nutrition and Food Management View New Programme
2013 Bachelor of Science, The University of Hong Kong
I enjoyed my time studying at the College. HD in Nutrition and Food Management is a well-designed programme which focuses on both theoretical and practical aspects. Not only can we learn theories about nutritional science and food service systems, but also practically design and cook a balanced diet ourselves. It is an ideal place for us to flourish our interest in nutritional science. Also, lecturers at the College are friendly and passionate in teaching. They have taught us many useful things aside from theories such as studying skills in tertiary education.

Studying the HD in Nutrition and Food Management programme has equipped me with both a strong foundation of theories such as biochemistry and food chemistry, as well as practical knowledge, for example: food service operation and the skills of report writing. Site visits to Cathy Pacific Catering Services in Tung Chung was a good opportunity to experience the working environment in food industry. At the College, l had met a lot of friends and we shared a lot of unforgettable memories, from practical cooking to food marketing presentations. There are good facilities to help students build up excellent study atmosphere. The College also provides good support such as counselling and talks from professionals in industry, and as a result, I have found my direction during these past two years of college life. Self-initiative and effective learning are the two most important things I have learnt and it will definitely help my study at university.
