PolyU-SPEED Award
BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering
After completing the Advanced Diploma in Railway Engineering at the MTR Academy (MTRA), I furthered my studies by enrolling in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering (Part-time) programme at PolyU SPEED. This learning experience provided me with a solid foundation and helped me adapt more smoothly to the learning pace at PolyU SPEED. The teaching mode at MTRA is very similar to that at PolyU SPEED, and subjects such as Mathematics, Engineering Mechanics, and Electrical Engineering at MTRA seamlessly align with the foundational subjects at PolyU SPEED. This allowed me to review and build upon my existing knowledge, gradually adapting to the higher-level learning. The reason for choosing PolyU SPEED was simple: I wanted to complete a degree programme and become a professional engineer. The Mechanical Engineering programme at PolyU SPEED is well-structured, with content that progresses from basic to advanced, enabling me to learn step by step and easing the pressure of being a part-time student. I am now working as a Senior Technical Officer. Much of the professional knowledge gained from the subjects can be directly applied to my work. For example, the inventory management skills I learned in the Design and Manufacturing subject have helped me better handle spare parts inventory at work, while the simulation and report generation functions in Solidworks have made it easier for me to review structural reports from contractors. These practical skills have allowed me to make more professional judgments and have provided strong support for my career development. Upon admission, I was awarded the Lifelong Learning Studentship by PolyU SPEED, which alleviated my financial burden. Additionally, the lecturers at PolyU SPEED left a deep impression on me. They are incredibly patient and would tirelessly answer our questions via WhatsApp, even as late as midnight. Their support made me feel truly cared for. In the future, my goal is to become a project manager. I believe that through the learning and practical experiences at PolyU SPEED, I will be able to gradually achieve this goal and attain greater success in my career. The programme at PolyU SPEED has not only equipped me with professional knowledge but has also made me more confident and competent. All of this fills me with anticipation for the future.

Coming to Hong Kong from mainland China for studies is a choice filled with both challenges and opportunities. As an international metropolis, Hong Kong not only boasts advanced educational resources and a rich cultural backdrop but also offers a learning environment that is globally connected. I chose to pursue the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering at PolyU SPEED, not only because the programme is accredited by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), ensuring high recognition of the degree, but also because it is awarded by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, a top 100 global university, highlighting the academic excellence of the programme. My lecturers were enthusiastic and responsible, providing in-depth explanations of professional knowledge. Additionally, the School frequently organised corporate lectures, helping me understand industry trends and career prospects and broaden my horizons. This learning experience has not only enhanced my professional skills and overall quality but also laid a solid foundation for my future career development. As a mainland student, I am extremely grateful for this cross-border educational experience, which has allowed me to pursue my dreams on an international platform and pave a broader path for my future.

Master of Science in Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality Management (Mixed-mode)
From Beijing to the Greater Bay Area: A Dual Leap in Career and Life at PolyU SPEED In Autumn 2025, I enrolled in the Master of Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality Management at PolyU SPEED. The year flew by, yet it was incredibly rewarding. Serving as the class monitor, I acted as a bridge between faculty and students. Despite our diverse backgrounds and ages, we bonded through study groups, supporting one another to ensure every classmate graduated successfully while forging lifelong friendships. This experience significantly honed my leadership and cross-cultural communication skills. Professionally, this journey marked a significant pivot. Previously based in Beijing, obtaining my master’s degree and Hong Kong identity through SPEED enabled me to relocate my career to the Greater Bay Area. I have since joined an overseas wealth management platform centered in Hong Kong, entering a new chapter of life. I am deeply grateful to the programme leaders and teaching team for providing such an excellent platform, facilitating both my academic growth and successful career transformation.

After 15 years in my career, I decided to pursue a Master’s degree at PolyU SPEED. As someone who had always studied in Mainland China, I was eager to follow my dream of experiencing authentic university life in Hong Kong. To fully enjoy the college life here, I maintained perfect attendance, and actively participated in various campus events, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and the employability forum. Beyond campus, I also joined study tours to Chiang Mai Thailand and Switzerland, witnessing sustainable tourism in action across different cultures. With consistent effort, I graduated with Distinction and was placed on the Dean’s List for both semesters, also receiving a scholarship from my hometown. Looking back, this master’s journey was never just about a degree. It gave me the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, see the world from new angles, and reshape my career with a fresh perspective.

I would like to summarize myself in one sentence: everything I wish for comes true. My aspiration to become a host led me to one of China’s top media schools, where I studied bilingual broadcasting. This journey included internships at Guangxi Broadcasting and Television Station and China Daily Hong Kong. My interests in linguistics and business brought me to PolyU SPEED, where I earned multiple scholarships and often took on leadership roles in group assignments. My two years at PolyU SPEED have been both fulfilling and exciting. This institution not only provides rigorous academic training but also offers opportunities to broaden my horizons and connect with friends through various campus activities. I am grateful to the teachers for their careful guidance and high standards, which have enabled me to make continuous academic progress and have laid a solid foundation for my future master's studies.
