Student Sharings
"I might not the typical student who will enter the finance industry, but I was still fortunate to be a Quantitative Finance major. The programme offers me a high degree of flexibility to explore courses in different majors, and I can also balance my school work and extra-curricular activities to search for my real interests and passions.
I believe most young people love travelling. To me, volunteering overseas is an alternative way to understand the lives of others, the exposure to new environment is also a challenge for me to become more independent and adaptable. In Costa Rica, Together with 8 other volunteers, we travelled by truck to reach the hills where we visited Cabecar, one of the indigenous communities. There, we spent an evening around a campfire with them.
I also did a bridge-building service trip with Wuzhiqiao (無止橋) to Yunnan in China for 9 days and a humanitarian field training trip to Nepal for 7 days.Through planning educational activities for our audience and doing weekend travels, I was able to practice my leadership skills and different ways of communicating and solving problems with other foreign volunteers.

"I was very pleased to be one of the representatives of CUHK joining this meaningful programme. In the programme, I paid visits to government bodies and financial regulators in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Through this, I got a better understanding of the differences in market operation and regulatory standards in these two places. I had the chance to spend five weeks working in a Chinese enterprise. This was a fresh experience for me since the working culture in Chinese enterprises is quite different from those in Hong Kong. In Chinese enterprises, the importance of seniority is significant and highlighted while local companies put more emphasis on the interaction among different levels of the company. And most importantly, in this tour, I made friends with students from other universities. Exchanging ideas with them was inspiring and made the tour very enjoyable."
