I have always wanted to continue studying applied economics at post-graduate level. The IPS of the HKBU School of Business has made my dream possible, and I am very grateful to be awarded the scholarship. I have made amazing international friends, joined the Toastmasters Club to polish my public speaking, and expanded my network through alumni events and workshops arranged by the School. One of the best things about doing an MSc in Applied Economics at HKBU is that the professors are very approachable and always willing to answer students’ questions. After completing my studies, I have become more curious and more critical in approaching economics-related issues. Thanks to the education I have received at the School of Business, I have become a self-motivated life-long learner.
