Our graduates securing admission at prestigious universities
畢業生升讀中外著名學府
|
We had our first cohort of graduates last summer. With over 90% of them pursuing further studies, some were admitted to local higher education institutions, including the Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong (THEi), the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and City University of Hong Kong, while some were admitted to world-renowned overseas universities such as Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and the University of Leeds. Both graduates in the photos are the awardees of the Wu Ho Loo Ning Scholarship, receiving around HK$140,000 to articulate to degree studies at THEi. 首屆工程及設計專業的畢業生超過九成選擇繼續升學，當中包括升讀本地及海外學府，例如香港高等教育科技學院、香港理工大學、香港城巿大學、英國中央聖馬丁藝術與設計學院（Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design）及英國列斯大學（University of Leeds）。 照片中兩位畢業生皆為伍何露寧獎學金獲獎者，獲資助約十四萬港元升讀高科院學士學位課程。 |

CHEUNG Ho Sam Hosea 張浩森 Class of 2021 (Design) 2021年設計專業畢業生 |
CHEUNG Ho Sam Hosea, a recent graduate of the Vocational Baccalaureate (Design) programme, was awarded the Hong Kong Scholarship for Excellence Scheme 2021/22. He is the first student from Vocational and Professional Education and Training (VPET) background to receive this distinguished scholarship. The award scheme was launched by the Education Bureau in 2014 to support outstanding local students to pursue studies at prestigious universities outside Hong Kong. Each awardee receives close to HK$1.5 million as full scholarship. Hosea said the project-based learning approach adopted by the VB programme allowed him to learn the professional skills and knowledge from practical, hands-on experience. He is now studying architecture at Oxford Brookes University in the UK and he plans to return to Hong Kong after graduation in order to contribute to the society. |
