Alumni Sharing
Since 2000, CIE has nurtured thousands of local and non-local students. They are now fulfilling their dreams of either furthering education or serving different parts of the community. Some graduates whom you may know would like to share their words with you.
Division of Applied Science

During my time at CIE, I engaged in both experiential and service-learning projects, including the mental health training programme. This initiative taught me about mental first aid and allowed me to design and conduct an online workshop on student mental health awareness, which developed my critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills. The well-designed lectures, experiments, and mentorship I received from CIE's lecturers in the area of nutrition and food management also provided me with a thorough understanding of this field, which is beneficial for my future development.

Division of Arts and Languages

We were not alone in the two years at CIE. The lecturers took an important role in assisting us to learn. Whenever we encountered difficulties in learning, we would consult with our lecturers. They would offer help instantly. I was grateful to study at CIE and the people gave me an unforgettable memory.

Division of Business

Studying Business Administration at CIE has given me two of the best years of my life. It not only equipped me with all-round business knowledge and skills, but also allowed me to meet many schoolmates and lecturers who had become close friends and mentors. Apart from regular lessons in the college, there were various practical extra-curricular training programmes, company visits and competitions. I cultivated my interest in accounting and found my career direction through studies.

Division of Communication

As a mainland student, CIE provided me with many opportunities to participate in student activities. During my study, I participated in the Europe study tour and successfully received the ROA scholarship. The study tour experience was very helpful for my further studies. In addition, I also participated in the Communication Student Union and co-organized student activities, including orientations and guest lectures. As a student who was not good at Cantonese at the time, these were all good opportunities to practise my language skills. The experiences in joining CIE activities have greatly influenced my future career in Hong Kong, which made me involve more in local life and engage better in a Cantonese-speaking environment.
