College Life

HPSHCC offers different types of internship opportunities. I was able to work as a club assistant at Disciplined Services Sports and Recreation Club where I learned the development of the industry and equipped myself with the real life experience.  Please don’t give up easily because of unsatisfactory performance on the public exam. Instead, you could re-orient, manage your time, set new goals and strive for a better and brighter future.

At first, I doubted if I should choose this programme at HPSHCC. Yet after a full year of study, I can say for sure that I made the right decision. The quality of teaching here is  of high standard. Besides, I have made a lot of new friends. I enjoyed my school life very much. I would like to thank all of the lecturers who have ever taught me. Without them, I might not achieve my goal of entering the university. I highly recommend Higher Diploma programme  in Medical and Health Products Management to those who love studying drugs and medical-related subjects.

This programme is well structured. We had opportunites to learn the basic operations of some of the professional equipment during our first year of study which gave us the general knowledge when conducting experiment and understanding the lecture materials in our second year.

Moreover, we had  visited Vegetable Marketing Oganization (VMO) and Food Marketing Organization (FMO) and learnt to set up Food Safety Management System for a company. The experience allowed  me to have a better understanding of the industry.

Lastly, I am greatly thankful to the lecturers and counselors for their encouragement and advice. 

In my first year of study at the College, I was exposed to different areas related to medical and health science. Some of the subjects, such as anatomy, physiology and microbiology, are interesting. The lecturers at the College are all dedicated and passionate in teaching. They always explain the difficult concepts clearly and answer students’ questions patiently. The well-structured programme has helped me to build solid and diverse knowledge base for further studies or career in the medical field. I am determined to be a nurse and I am confident that I can make it.

Professional lecturers, good learning environment, wonderful experiment experience, I can find them all at the College. The HD in Medical and Health Products Management programme provided me with lots of different subjects which have professional medical knowledge, such as Drug Action and Use of Medicine, Anatomy and Physiology. These subjects gave me fundamental knowledge related to nursing and helped me to be a nursing assistant during my summer holidays. Now, I have determined to develop my career in the nursing field and to contribute to the society.

I really appreciate the hard work and care of the lecturers at HPSHCC. They are professional,  patient and willing to give us useful advice on studies. They also spent time to visit students where they were working as interns. Besides, I realized that interest in the study is a great driving force to strive and to excel.  Hope all of you can find your interest, realize your potentials and achieve your goals.

After the 3-year learning at the College, I found my goal to be a registered nurse. Although the pathway to reach the goal is long and hard, finally, I can achieve it via advancing to the Master of Nursing Science programme offered by CUHK. Thanks to the College for providing me with an opportunity to further continue studying after my failure in the public exam. Moreover, I started to realise my weaknesses. Lastly, the basic knowledge of medical science, including anatomy and physiology, microbiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, did help me a lot when I am studying the Master programme.

My time at the College helped me understand that frustration in public exams doesn’t necessarily mean failure in your life. I was so inspired by the earnest lecturers. Furthermore, I am so grateful that I have gained the genuine experience in the various internship programme. I have to say, the College made me an all-rounded student and I am ready to start a new chapter, to be a pharmacist in the future.
