The ‘Becoming a Professional’ series features introductory courses for students aspiring to become lawyers, accountants, pharmacists, civil engineers, surveyors, architects, banking or medical professionals, or Chinese medicine practitioners.

This series gives students a taste of what it is like to study in a university which is entirely different from studying at secondary school. The series offers courses ranging from economics, to accounting and finance, and branding, marketing, advertising and promotion, to management, business communications, aviation and Chinese medicine.

Chinese language is often called the ‘paper of death’ in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE) and is a major obstacle for many university hopefuls. The School’s ‘5-Star Chinese Writing’ course, taught by Professor Tang Chiu-kay of the Centennial College, is designed to help students improve their use of words and rectify their syntax and grammatical errors. Students can also choose Korean, Japanese, English, French, German, Spanish or Italian language course to widen their horizons.

The Creativity and Culture courses are designed to help students cultivate their creativity and ability to appreciate art and culture. The courses cover music, drawing, photography, art appreciation, and urban design. As digital technology has made video an integral part of daily life, the School also offers a short film making course, covering script creation, production and editing, to help students create their own works.

The Personal Enrichment courses are designed to help students understand their own strengths and equip them with the soft skills that will be necessary in their future careers. The series aims to help students gain self-confidence through a range of courses, including digital media, adventure training, financial management, event planning, presentation and interview techniques, life coaching and table manners.
