LUO Fansong Before this program, I was an undergraduate who had just graduated from the Department of Economics and Finance of Hong Kong Shue Yan University. In fact, I faced many choices at that time. I chose this program because I had developed a strong interest in psychology in my senior year. This program is the only major in Hong Kong that combines psychology with the market. Out of the love of psychology, I gladly started this one-year experience. Now, my one-year journey is ending. Looking back on this year, I have learned a lot. We have also learned many lessons this year. Some courses are more applied to work, while others are more theoretical. We have gained considerable knowledge from these lessons. Most importantly, I have learned the proper method of thinking and solving problems. This program combines working and academic knowledge, making me better understand what I want and further clarifying my future direction. |

Jenny WU The professors in this course are experts in the field and are passionate and generous to share their knowledge, real life experience, and genuine insight into marketing with us. I will miss them. Living in the university accommodations also turned out to be a very happy experience. I stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoyed a peaceful place that many of my colleagues envied. At the same time, I could run and breathe the fresh air from time to time, completely forgetting the inconveniences of the pandemic. I also learned to cook all kinds of delicious dishes in the dormitory. Shue Yan’s campus life has made me feel the beauty of life again. Sometimes apart from work, there are still many aspects we can learn and improve ourselves when we calm down and relax. Thanks to Shue Yan and this programme, I have gained many things. This is a great place to acquire knowledge, improve yourself, and realize your potential. |

Isabelle Jinadu Before coming to Shue Yan University, I had completed internships in Marketing, but had never studied the discipline in an academic setting. I found my classes extremely interesting and was sure that the skills learnt would be extremely useful for my future career. A few months in to my studies at Shue Yan, I had enjoyed studying Marketing so much that I was certain that this was the right field for me. I began applying for graduate schemes in the field of Marketing, and found that employers were extremely interested in my international perspective on Marketing, being an international student in Hong Kong. After the new year, I was offered a graduate scheme contract with a major British company, and I believe that had I not studied this course at Shue Yan, I would not have been able to secure such an opportunity. |

Teresa HUANG The MScMCP programme at Shue Yan University made me felt that I was being taught professionalism and preciseness through its attractive course design. The pandemic made learning both special and rewarding, and the learning effectiveness was high despite classes being held online. This is surely due to the University’s responsible teachers and its excellent curriculum design. |

Lisa LIU Weiqiang I studied and graduated with a degree in advertising at the Communication University of China. I had worked in a large advertisement company for a few years until I got married and moved to the United States. I remained a housewife until I met my life coach and best friend, Linda. Her passion for life and self-education moves me. She gained her MBA degree at 45 years old and Ph.D. at 65 years old. She has been an advocate for charity and humanity campaigns for many years. She made me believe that I could improve myself through education and be a good role model for my son. Thus, I chose this program (MSc MCP) to gain more advanced and cutting-edge knowledge in marketing in preparation for my future career. I believe I made a wise decision in choosing this program. The courses are well-constructed with an emphasis on theoretical and practical knowledge. Some cutting-edge topics, such as digital marketing and social media, are also covered in this program. I appreciate all teachers’ diligence in giving feedback on my assignments and guiding me through my thesis. I am happy that the teachers and the university are good and welcome Mainland students. |
