BA (Hons) in Language and Professional Communication (Digital Media)

Year 2 Student of MA in Public Policy and Governance, University of New South Wales

I would like to summarize myself in one sentence: everything I wish for comes true. My aspiration to become a host led me to one of China’s top media schools, where I studied bilingual broadcasting. This journey included internships at Guangxi Broadcasting and Television Station and China Daily Hong Kong. My interests in linguistics and business brought me to PolyU SPEED, where I earned multiple scholarships and often took on leadership roles in group assignments. My two years at PolyU SPEED have been both fulfilling and exciting. This institution not only provides rigorous academic training but also offers opportunities to broaden my horizons and connect with friends through various campus activities. I am grateful to the teachers for their careful guidance and high standards, which have enabled me to make continuous academic progress and have laid a solid foundation for my future master's studies.

Being one of the awardees of the PolyU SPEED Scholarship for Full-time Students gave me confidence to pursue my dream, which was to study Politics in the UK. This experience reminded me that we should always have a dream, and should never drift along our lives without a goal or a purpose. We should never hesitate to chase our dreams as we will surely find great supporters in PolyU SPEED.
