Alumni Sharing
“The higher diploma programme provided a variety of choices for students’ selection. The knowledge and skills gained from the programme made a solid foundation for my articulation and career prospect. More than what was covered in the books, students were encouraged to apply their learning from other sources. Moreover, teachers were passionate and motivated students to try new things, strive for self-improvement and pursue their desired path.”

“During my study at the HKBU SCE Higher Diploma Programme, the coverage of the courses helped my study journey progression and broadened my knowledge of the job market. The generous help from teachers was tremendous. They provided support not only in classes and academic knowledge but also in the articulation pathways. Thank you for your patience and recommendations. I am also grateful for the resources and opportunities offered by the school.”

“2020 – 2021 was a challenging two years for me; it wasn’t easy to pick up 10 years of lost study time and adapt to learning in English on top of the Covid-19 pandemic. During the academic year, there were many complications, and the school promptly introduced various measures to support students in solving their learning difficulties by changing the learning mode from face-to-face to online. I am thankful for the teachers’ dedication to preparing PowerPoint and short videos to aid students’ comprehension of the learning materials. Moreover, teachers were willing to answer my issues in their private time. I believe that to achieve something; you would have to give up another. You might feel lost and painful initially, but if you persist, the best is yet to come. Once you have decided to study and to pay an effort, the school and teachers will support you wholeheartedly. At last, I am very proud to graduate from HKBU SCE Higher Diploma Programme. I am currently studying Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Physical Education & Recreation Management at Hong Kong Baptist University to deepen my knowledge in sports and pursue my dream.”
