CHEN Jiebin- (Guangdong Province)
2025 Graduate of Associate in Businesss
Articulated into Lingnan University Hong Kong's Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Public Management and Smart Governance
After completing the National College Entrance Examination, I felt lost and uncertain about my options for further education. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to enrol in the Associate Degree Programme at PolyU HKCC. During the two years of study, I not only improved my English skills but also gained invaluable foundational knowledge that has prepared me for the transition to undergraduate studies.
During my time at PolyU HKCC, I developed greater confidence, enabling me to participate more actively in my undergraduate studies. In the future, I aspire to continue my education by enrolling in a postgraduate programme at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, which has always been my dream.
I would like to extend my best wishes to the future students at PolyU HKCC. May you find your direction and set your goals during your time here, just as I did. Strive pursue your dreams!

ZHENG Yi- (Zhejiang Province)
2025 Graduate of Associate in Business (Finance)
Articulated into CityU’s Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing
In the face of unsatisfactory performance in the National College Entrance Examination, PolyU HKCC gave me a second chance. I can say that PolyU HKCC was an important turning point, allowing me to begin to write a new chapter in my life.
During my journey at PolyU HKCC, I connected with a group of partners who shared the same goal, and together we worked towards achieving A grades. Besides, we had a group of very dedicated teachers who took the time to answer my questions patiently, even in their spare time. They taught me many valuable lessons. I still remember one teacher telling me, "If you want to go far, it's not just about studying hard; you must also develop critical thinking skills because the real world is much more complex than what is found in books." This advice has greatly benefited me.
I believe that my time at PolyU HKCC has significantly boosted my confidence. I went from being afraid to speak on stage at the beginning to standing comfortably in front of an audience now. This transformation has empowered me to express my ideas and put them into practice. Being named to the Dean's List for four consecutive semesters over the past two years has solidified my belief that hard work pays off. I will always cherish my experiences at PolyU HKCC as they hold a special place in my memory. I plan to carry this initial passion and drive into my future endeavours.

2025 Graduate of Associate in Business (Finance)
Articulated into PolyU SPEED’s Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) in Finance
Studying for an associate degree at PolyU HKCC over these past two years has truly been one of the most invaluable periods of growth in my life. I remember feeling lost when I first entered campus, but this time taught me that every seemingly ordinary day is a foundational stone for the future. Whether it was studying hard in the library to prepare for exams, engaging in intense discussions with classmates for group projects, or stepping outside my comfort zone, every attempt has silently shaped a stronger version of myself.
