My four years in the BBA in Management programme at PolyU have been a meaningful journey that has shaped both my mindset and my career direction. What I appreciate most is that the programme was never only about learning theories. It encouraged us to stay curious, step outside our comfort zones, and gradually grow into more independent individuals.

Some of my most memorable experiences came from studying abroad. My semester exchange at Nanyang Technological University exposed me to a new academic environment and a different way of learning. Joining the summer school at the University of Cambridge gave me another perspective on what it means to learn with intensity and purpose. These overseas experiences were not only exciting, they taught me how to adapt quickly, communicate across cultures, and view business problems from a more global angle.

At the same time, my internship experiences allowed me to connect what I learned in class with real workplace expectations. Handling research tasks, working with data, and meeting professional standards helped me become more detail-oriented and disciplined. It also gave me a clear understanding of what I want to pursue after graduation.

Looking back, PolyU has offered me far more than a degree. It gave me opportunities to explore, the confidence to challenge myself, and memories that I will always carry with me. I am truly grateful for the people and experiences that made my university life so fulfilling.

My time at PolyU was more than an academic journey — It gave me the confidence to explore, the freedom to grow, and a community that consistently encouraged me to step beyond the classroom.

The subjects I took in the Management Department helped me build a solid foundation of knowledge and understand how people and organisations operate. Each course gave me new ways to understand how people and businesses work. But what truly brought those concepts to life were the real-world experiences PolyU constantly encouraged us to pursue through WIE and the overseas exchange programmes.

One opportunity that stood out to me was the Mitacs Globalink research internship in Canada. Working alongside an international team, I learned how to turn ideas into research, present findings with confidence, and collaborate with people from different backgrounds. Living and working in a foreign country pushed me out of my comfort zone; I became more independent, more adaptable, and more assured of my abilities. It was a challenging yet unforgettable chapter of my university journey. PolyU trusted us to take on challenges, and every time I did, I returned a little stronger and a little wiser.

Looking back, I am grateful for the mentorship, the challenges, and the friends who walked this path with me. PolyU prepared me not just for a career, but to keep learning with an open mind and a willing heart. 

在香港理工大学BBA管理课程学习期间，我获得了扎实知识与实用技能。理大的课程设计既注重学术深度，又为同学提供丰富的实践机会，使我能够将课堂所学应用到真实的商业环境中。

理大BBA课程体系涵盖组织管理、市场营销、商业金融等领域，为我构建了完整的专业知识框架。课堂中的案例研讨与团队项目有效锻炼了我的协作能力与批判性思维。特别是通过校企协作教育（Work-Integrated Education）计划，我将课堂知识直接应用于实习工作。这既深化了我对理论的理解，也提升了专业技能与职业素养。

在校期间，理大提供的社会服务（Service-Learning）机会让我受益匪浅。我曾有幸参与成都支教项目，为留守儿童提供教育帮助。这段服务学习经历让我走出校园舒适圈，深入接触社会现实。看到孩子们对知识的渴望与进步时的喜悦，我深刻感受到教育公益的价值。这段经历不仅拓宽了我的视野，更强化了我的社会责任感。

感谢理大BBA管理课程提供的全面教育和宝贵机会。无论是实习项目，还是社会服务活动，都让我在课本之外获得了丰富的人生体验。这些经历不仅充实了大学生活，也为我未来的职业发展奠定了坚实基础。

During my marketing studies, the teaching resources and education system offered by the Management & Marketing (MM) Department enabled me to enhance my professional knowledge. Additionally, the Work Integrated Education provided internship opportunities, at companies such as Tencent and L’Oréal during my time at university. The experience of applying theoretical knowledge from the classroom to business practice gave me a deeper understanding of the marketing field, and the internships made me more confident and capable when looking for a job. 

Furthermore, my semester exchange in Taiwan enriched my university life and opened my eyes to the diversity of choices. I realised that the essence of life is to actively explore the world and face future challenges with a positive attitude and confidence.

If I had the opportunity to go back four years, I would tell myself on receiving the PolyU Marketing offer, “Set sail now, because this will show you a greater world”. I am grateful to all the friends and professors I met during my university years and to the MM Department for these four fulfilling and meaningful years. Moving forward, I will continue to work hard!

I am grateful to the university for providing me with outstanding learning opportunities that have fostered my overall growth.

As a Marketing student, I have had the opportunity to minor in Enterprise Computing and participated in courses at Fudan University, Cornell University, and the Vienna University of Economics and Business, expanding my understanding of various fields such as artificial intelligence, business analytics programming, and corporate entrepreneurship. In addition, my event planning internship in Shanghai and my market analysis internship in Jinan have enhanced my practical skills.

As part of my service learning at PolyU, I participated in the “Learning through Providing Eye Care and Vision Health to the Community” project, where I conducted vision screenings for older adults in the community. This highlighted the importance of using my knowledge to benefit others and gave me a sense of well-being from serving the community.

The PolyU’s Marketing programme, and the University’s commitment to general education, have prepared me for the challenges in my professional and personal life.

The MM programme offers students ample opportunities to apply their knowledge and skills to real-life scenarios through internships, business competitions and networking events. Students are encouraged to participate in all kinds of extracurricular activities, to step out of their comfort zones and to accept every challenge. 

My experience on the programme allowed me to focus on my personal development. Despite the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, which prevented most of us from participating in an overseas placement, I was able to take part in an online exchange provided by Fudan University. The experience broadened my horizons, as the course pooled talented students from different educational backgrounds, and further advanced my collaborative and communication skills, which are critical for the development of a future career in management and marketing. 

I will never forget the advice of our programme leader, Dr Simon Chan, to embrace lifelong learning and relish the process behind every single experience. My message to all prospective students is to enjoy your time at university because every experience counts.
