I proudly present myself as a Management student from PolyU.

The courses in this Bachelor's programme have given me great flexibility to own my learning. With the guidance and experience sharing of various teachers and practitioners via the Department, Faculty and University, I decided on my own stream in management, choosing corresponding courses. I am grateful to be taught by world-class instructors. I have learned about important topics in the field of organisational management. The Department and Faculty actively involved students in connecting and exchanging their ideas with practitioners. This grants me invaluable learning opportunities to understand the context of the workplace. Through my academic and workplace learning, I have become well equipped to compare, analyse and obtain insights. It has been rewarding to conduct research in the business field.

My experience in MM has been great so far, as it provides numerous opportunities to reach out to the world. Demonstrating substantial self-discipline, I was able to travel to Hangzhou China, Singapore and Greece for internships. Proactively spurring my whole-person development, I was able to join programmes that helped me to develop a global vision through exposure to different cultures and communities. This added a lot of value to my learning at MM. It taught me to own my learning, my career and my life.

Having the chance to study at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University was invaluable. This programme gave me opportunities to connect with different people from all around the world and broaden my international insight. Studying in Finland was a memorable experience, helping me to get along with foreign students. Please do not be discouraged by the expense associated with such experiences, because the University supports and encourages us to explore the world through various scholarships.

Loads of extra-curricular activities are available to foster our social well-being. I participated as a society committee member. This not only develops students' communication skills and critical thinking, but also prepares them for future careers in management. I urge each of you to seize the chance to join those activities; you will at least make new friends. I truly appreciate the vision of our university in providing a variety of activities to support students’ personal growth.

Last but not least, I am thankful to all our beloved teaching fellows, as they are always there when we need support for our work. There are also many supporting facilities, such as classrooms and discussion areas, as well as technical assistance. After I graduate this year, I will miss my enriching university life at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

My four years at PolyU offered a memorable and rewarding experience of learning, adapting and developing. Before gaining admission to the PolyU BBA programme, I grew without any key interests or specific career goals. However, the curriculum of the Business Management programme allowed me to gain an in-depth knowledge of business organisations and the global marketplace. PolyU also encourages practical learning experiences in workplaces by giving students opportunities to acquire internships and hands-on experience and to apply theories learned and case studies in real-life business settings in preparation for our future career development. PolyU provides an extensive and all-round curriculum that allows students to utilise their academic knowledge for both their personal and their career development.

I admire PolyU for embracing cultural diversity and for its dedication to providing students with a global outlook and international exposure. I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to participate in the Work-Integrated-Education (WIE) programme, taking up an internship in a diamond-focused jewellery company in New York City. This work experience allowed me to realise my passion, and it also acted as a turning point in my career development, leading me to pursue different career pathways suited to my passion and interests.

All of these years of study at PolyU helped me to shape directions and set goals for my future career. PolyU emphasises not only the academic aspect but also the importance of equipping students with a comprehensive skill set and experiences. 

Life is full of uncertainty and things often do not turn out as we planned or expected. However, when life gives you lemons, use them to make lemonade. Graduating from the PolyU BBA programme not only represented the completion of my learning process. Seizing every opportunity to learn and become a well-rounded individual with the right attitude is undoubtedly the key to achieving success. I learned this during the past four years.
