Jonathan, Graduate, 2025
I am currently pursuing a Juris Doctor postgraduate programme at CUHK. My path was defined by my studies at HKSYU and, most importantly, by joining the Law and Business Moot Team. What truly distinguishes HKSYU is its educational philosophy of providing opportunities in higher education, especially for those who need that crucial chance to prove their potential.
Tiffany, Graduate, 2025
After finishing my study at SYU, I pursued my career in the company secretarial field, and I am now working as a company secretarial assistant at a CPA firm. While I was in a dilemma choosing between studying and working, I saw a job advertisement from HKCGI. This reminded me of my participation in the HKCGI Paper and Presentation Competition, where our teachers from the Department of Law and Business offered tremendous support and guidance throughout the process. That experience sparked my interest in corporate governance and risk management.
