CityUHK’s GREAT students thrive at the University of Cambridge and UC Berkeley
Isaac Ho King-yin, a Year 4 student in the Global Research Enrichment and Technopreneurship (GREAT) Programme
“My interest in physics has greatly developed at CityUHK. I was attracted by the novel teaching approach in this programme. The best thing about the GREAT programme is its research-oriented approach. Unlike traditional teaching of natural sciences, the GREAT programme offers students more opportunities to engage in research and internships. Both enhance the students’ competence and significantly enrich their vision.”
“The teaching quality and students there were amazing. I engaged in daily discussions with classmates to solve proof-based questions in linear algebra. I hope to accumulate more research experience and expand my academic network in the new academic year. I would like to become a researcher in mathematics or computational biology, providing innovative healthcare solutions, particularly for the common issue of eczema treatment in Hong Kong.”
