Students and Alumni from HKMU

We give you abundant opportunities to develop your potentials and we provide you with a professional education that leads to career success. Check out what our students and alumni say.

The internship at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council gave me a chance to hone my communication skills. I also learned about the importance of attention to detail and the stringent standards essential for professional event organisers to ensure the delivery of well-run events.

I worked as an intern at a quality management company while studying accounting and became its full-time employee after graduation. Later, I started my own business. Whether as an employee or entrepreneur, I believe communication is crucial. My advice to fellow alumni is: more listening, putting yourself in others' shoes; and learning from experience.

I rarely interacted with local students, and I was worried about getting along with my classmates when I started studying in the University. I soon found that HKMU students were very welcoming and eager to befriend me. Not only did the teachers care about my learning needs, but they also encouraged me to promote HKMU in public events as a student ambassador.

Interpersonal skill is very important in a DJ (disc jockey)'s toolkit. The leadership roles I played in organising extra-curricular activities during my time at the University helped me a great deal in my work. Reminiscing about the past, I can recall the days of working hard and playing hard with my fellow classmates and friends. Even now, our bond remains like family.

With a strong thirst for knowledge, I will dig up answers when facing up to something I don't understand. If I am in the dark, I will jot down questions and consult lecturers. The lecturers are so nice that they get back to me very fast. I am also thankful to HKMU for giving me various opportunities to try things out.

The University equipped me with the computing skills and knowledge needed for launching a start-up and developing products. In addition, I built business knowledge through active participation in activities of the University's student society, Enactus, and visits to various social enterprises.
