After completing my higher diploma studies, I was so fortunate to be admitted to the senior year programme of engineering at PolyU, with which I have been equipped the most cutting-edge knowledge both in theory and practical applications in the field. There are also sufficient opportunities to broaden students’ horizons and acquire genuine global scope and perspective, for instance, by offering exchange programmes with the most internationally prestigious universities. I was so privileged to have the golden chance to study at the world-renowned Imperial College London, which not only has given me the enjoyable experience of studying abroad but also the exposure to a different culture, particularly in terms of pedagogy, which is especially beneficial to the study of engineering.
After completing a Higher Diploma in Civil Engineering, I was promoted to the second year of the Bachelor’s degree programme at PolyU. During my period of study, I gained sufficient fundamental knowledge to prepare me for life as a competent professional engineer. PolyU gives students numerous chances to expand their experience and interests. Overseas summer training provided me with a chance to dabble in research under the guidance of a world-renowned research institute. I enjoyed a period of exchange study at a prestigious college in the UK, and am now motivated to think for myself and explore possibilities in all areas; in other words, to "think outside the box". These experiences have taught me independence and given me the realisation that with effort, I can overcome all of the difficulties that I encounter.
