I was inspired by the sustainable concepts that I learnt from the MSc in Sustainable Urban Development. With the encouragement of my classmates and professors at PolyU, I founded my own company, Farm66, in an old industrial building in Kwun Tong. Since I graduated, I have engaged in agriculture research, combining aquaponics and wavelength technologies. The indoor farming system has already been patented and led to a new business model with a focus on health foods. Studying at PolyU has given me new opportunities for my future. Tam Chi Ho |  |
 | As one of the Entry Scholarship students for the Postgraduate Scheme in Construction and Environment offered by the Faculty of Construction and Environment, I was impressed by the free and open exchange of ideas between teachers and students in class. I advise students to make good use of the library to enrich themselves. My future plan is to get some work experience. Wang Qingzi |
