I completed my Social Innovation internship at Inner Edge, a local sports psychology consulting companbu. It has provided me with a very precious change to learn practical skills and how to integrate what I've learnt in the classrooms with real-world settings, preparing me for future careers.

Student Voices

The flexibility to choose courses from a variety of topics allows me to understand the impacts of urban growth of contemporary societies from an interdisciplinary perspective. After graduation, I hope to further my studies in urban planning and to implement innovative solutions to transform Hong Kong into a vibrant and livable city, where everyone is happy to reside in.
