Looking back on my time here as a Marketing student, I believe that everything starts with a dream. PolyU offers a variety of opportunities for students to develop a global perspective and gain real-world business experience. I was selected to be one of the student ambassadors for the International Research Society at the Public Management Conference and the 7th PRME Asia Forum. I was also lucky enough to be appointed as one of the Google student helpers involved in organizing the Empowering Young Entrepreneurs Programme Gala Event. Marketing is a diverse industry to work in. Ranging from advertising and promotion to brand management, there are various jobs you can take and companies you can work for. Thanks to the recommendations of the Faculty of Business and Department of Management and Marketing, I was able to work for a sizeable organization, namely Microsoft, as the Microsoft Student Partner and Marketing Intern. Working for one of the world’s largest technology companies was amazing. I had the chance to plan and execute large-scale marketing campaigns and was offered freedom in creating promotional materials. This is undoubtedly the most incredible internship experience I have ever had. Yu Tsz Yin , Joyce |  |
 | 在圖書館，你可以看到很多藏書，然而作為一個大學生，要令自己懂得與時俱進的新知，總不可能再局限於吸收課本上的知識吧？我相信那些在中學曾修讀商科的同學，在大學一年級要他們應付本學系一般的學科絕對不成問題，市場學要訓練的是學員對身邊事物的觸覺，以及與人交往的溝通能力。通過撰寫不同的課題報告，學系是要我們學習與不同的人分工合作和從中鍛煉個人的溝通和表達技巧；學校為同學提供大量的工作實習機會，鼓勵我們不斷增益人生經歷，勇於嘗試；不斷批判吸收，積極學習。讓理論能夠在現實生活得以實踐，同時可讓同學作全人發展。這既是理大的一貫理念，也是我理想中的大學生活的真實寫照。 徐玉珊 |
能夠在理工大學就讀市場系(榮譽)工商管理學士學位使我感到很自豪！學生上課學習的內容不僅是純粹理論性質的東西，與此同時，教授也會用他們累積的經驗幫助我們切切實實地透過大學生商業挑戰比賽、實習、課題研習把個人所學的應用出來！ 每當觸及新的市場策略研究題目時，很多時我都會從中遇到不少挑戰和困難，但教授適時的引導和鼓勵卻往往會成為我迎難而上的推動力！當我們見到自己一組同學所完成的研習報告成果時，縱使它不是完美無瑕的，但我們的努力和教授的肯定都會驅使各人更勇於接受挑戰和學習更多新的事物！ 此外，我也學會了不單把學習到的理論應用在工作上，更可把它應用在待人處事上。今天我能夠建立具自信和獨特的個性，並對前面的人生道路滿懷期盼，對前景和方向看得更加清晰明確，可說是我在自我提升層面上一個很大的進步。 鄧詠欣 |  |
 | 香港是國際金融中心，市場瞬息萬變、競爭激烈。理大市場學系的課程緊貼社會市場現況，學生在學習理論知識的時候，除了能夠理解、掌握，還要懂得應用這些理論於實際例子，以刺激思考，從而提升個人在職場上的競爭力。
在全人發展的教育理念下，理大為學生提供了豐富的資源，讓我們能參與不同的課外活動、交流及實習計劃。在這四年中，我善用學校的資源，除了參與課程的實習計劃，還與同學組隊參加商業比賽，獲得不少寶貴的經驗。透過理大的學生交流計劃，我更獲得到海外交流的機會，得以體驗外國文化、擴闊國際視野。感謝理大，讓我能與知己朋友相遇，豐富個人閱歷，並在愉快、濃厚的學習氣氛下成長。 Chau Shuk Man |
