“The PolyU sports team is one big family. My seniors provide me with great advice when I face challenges in my academic studies or swimming. More than that, the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences is currently working with the swimming team, using innovative technology to calculate the force of each stroke and perform stroke analysis on our swimmers. The experience I’ve had at PolyU has been unique, pushing me to become better and faster!

In the future, by building upon the valuable knowledge I gained during my time at PolyU, I hope to educate young and elite athletes to prevent injuries and improve their performance with the use of technology and my knowledge on biomechanics.”

“I’ve appreciated studying various CAR (Cluster Area Requirements) subjects, which has allowed me to gain knowledge in different fields. I have taken some great classes in ancient math, thinking styles, fine art and statistics that I had not had much exposure to and this has enriched my school life by adding diversity and new perspectives to what I have learnt in my Humanities major.

My participation in diverse academic and extracurricular experiences at PolyU has motivated me to expand my interests and become a more flexible and responsive person.”

The School of Hotel and Tourism Management provides plenty of opportunities for students to get in touch with the tourism industry, from guest speakers to mentoring programmes. In this way, students can relate to the actual world of work instead of just learning abstract theories from a textbook.

In particular, the mandatory 6-month internship helped me develop the right mindset and personality as a hotelier. It enabled me to appreciate better how a hotel runs in practice and enhanced my hospitality competence. Such useful experiences provided by the University allow students to discover their potential and forge their career paths.
