Over the past four years, thanks to the BBA(Hons) in International Shipping and Transport Logistics programme, I gained a great deal of knowledge about shipping and transport. The programme is the only one of its kind among universities in Hong Kong. It provides a learning experience that is valuable because I obtained academic knowledge delivered by professors and other shipping professionals, and work experience through the Work-Integrated Education (WIE) programme.

The WIE programme provides students with many opportunities to obtain a clear understanding of shipping and logistics, such as internships, lectures given by industry professionals, career service workshops and so on. I am also grateful to have received lots of help from the professors in the programme. They gave me valuable advice on my studies and future development after graduation whenever I turned to them. Their support is one of the reasons I have made it this far. I am honoured to have been a part of PolyU and the programme.

回顾本科四年，从懵懂求知的学子到坚定打拼的职场新人，香港理工大学的全球供应链管理项目带给了我一流的就读体验。在学术上，作为本科生的我们有机会接触关于供应链及物流各个方面的知识，从运营管理原理到进阶供应链实操技能，从全球物流系统到航运金融，课程更提供海外学习交流的机会给我们，让学生在不同的商业环境下，从第一视角体验企业的运营管理机制。

此外，学系还在其它许多方面为我们提供支持，例如有丰富多彩的课外活动，我曾参加校友联谊烧烤营、数码港参观，还有海量资源，例如物流研究中心，商业智库，就业招聘信息等等。我坚信就读全球供应链管理专业的收获，会为我在未来职业发展的道路上带来长足的影响。

Studying in the GSCM programme at PolyU was definitely a rewarding experience for me.

The programme offered selection flexibility in Elective Subjects, which allowed me to specialise in the areas that interested me most. The class size was relatively small, so I got to know my classmates well. We were assigned to work on group projects for almost every subject, which sharpened my teamwork and presentation skills. All these benefits indicate the effort put into developing well-rounded business students.

The Department of Logistics and Maritime Studies was also very supportive and accessible. Professors responded to our emails quickly and we never had a problem getting appointments with them or seeking advice. The Department also provided study tours, company visits, and other meaningful activities with industry associations, offering us wonderful industry exposure.

In summary, the four-year GSCM learning experience not only equipped me with invaluable business knowledge and market insights, but also trained me to become versatile and thus competitive in the job market. I am now studying for my Master of Financial Economics degree at Oxford. I believe that what I gained from the GSCM programme will continue to play a role in my academic and professional career, and the impact will be long-lasting.
