College Life

As a student who transitioned from the Foundation Diploma, I initially thought it would be challenging to keep up with the coursework. Fortunately, the lecturers were incredibly patient in addressing my questions and promptly responding to my emails, which helped me quickly get back on track.

Mr. Henry Leung and Mr. Victor Yeung effectively used real-life cases to explain complex concepts, stimulating my critical thinking and deepening my understanding. Throughout these two years of study, I gained a solid foundation of knowledge, which has significantly enhanced my ability to adapt to university lectures and academic life.

I was an aircraft maintenance technician for many years before entering HPSHCC. My income rapidly decreased because of COVID-19 and I started to consider if there are any alternative pathways for my career, so I decided to leave my role and chose Accounting and Financial Planning as my major.

The amplitude of programme structure, well-equipped College facilities and supportive lecturers brought me the key to the university I longed-for. Therefore, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to lecturers who  helped me to pursue my dream.

In the past two years at HPSHCC, I learned a lot about Accounting and Finance. This programme has provided me with a solid foundation in the business field. For example, the knowledge of Taxation and Business Law is really useful, enabling me to reduce tax burdens legally and protect my interests through business law. Also, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the stock market by knowing different financial ratios in the Essentials of Investments lectures. I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all the lecturers who taught me before and the Student Development Resource Centre staff. Thank you!

There is a quote that I really love: “Work with discipline, not motivation.” If you keep chasing your dream, you will succeed. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Let’s focus more on yourself and find the best version of “You”!

The College provides all-round learning support, allowing me to adapt quickly to College life. The courses cover different professional fields, allowing me to know my goal. The school exchange tours provided the opportunity for us to go abroad and explore different cultures of the world. The internships recommended by the College also consolidated my knowledge and laid a stable foundation for the future.

The College organized university interview workshops for students which I found them very useful. I sharpened my skills and gained confidence. Eventually, I received degree offers from HKUST, HKBU and PolyU. I am really thankful to the College.

In these two years, not only do I focus on my study, but I also joined many activities such as voluntary service, business competition, and internship. These have strengthened my communication and collaboration skills. The Counsellors have helped me a lot in understanding my own strengths and weaknesses. I really appreciate the things the College has done for us.
