Division of Communication
Creative 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.
