Division of Applied Science

I am grateful for having two fruitful years in CIE. I had gained in-depth understanding of nutrition and food management through well-designed class lectures, laboratory experiments and site visits. Throughout the whole learning process, I was taught by very dedicated lecturers and the harmonious learning environment had made my study most enjoyable.

Division of Business

During my time at CIE, I participated in a variety of experiential learning activities. Among which academic consultations helped me in both academic and career planning. One of the highlights of my participation in the Business Plan Competition, which inspired me to think creatively and apply my business knowledge to a mock project. These experiences equipped me with the skills and knowledge needed to articulate to HKUST. I am grateful for the well-rounded education I received at CIE, which helped me to achieve my academic and career goals.

I felt lost after the A-level examination, and it was APSS that encouraged me to reflect on myself, so that I could positively explore my talents and my goals in life. In the two years’ time of enjoyable learning in CIE, my passion for social work grew rapidly. Although I am not a registered social worker right now, what I have seen and learnt from the people and society in these few years will benefit me for life.
