Clement Su
The education concentration offered by HKSYU is an incredible program that greatly benefited me as a student who is venturing into the educational sector. The main reason why I chose to take part in this concentration was the opportunity to learn from the internship, which offered great insight into the inner workings of schools in Hong Kong. Several courses offered by the university also contributed to my success and confidence in becoming an educator.
