Studying the Bachelor of Science in Internet and Multimedia Technologies programme gave me a solid foundation in computer science and multimedia processing. The solid foundation has enabled me to delve into complex systems and think critically.

The EIE Department provided many opportunities to let students apply theory to practice beyond the classrooms. I am glad that I was involved in RoboCon and VR contests during my study, in which I acquired technical skills and developed the mindset of a professional engineer. The academic environment also raised my interest in research. I was lucky to work with Dr. Bonnie Law, Programme Leader of BSc in IMT, in the Undergraduate Research and Innovation Scheme (URIS) programme to learn about the creation of knowledge. In addition, I also had an opportunity to be a research assistant and contribute in Prof. Wan-Chi Siu's research group during my study gap year. These experiences were precious and helped me to develop my interest in Computer Vision. I am now well prepared to pursue the master's program in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo. I firmly believe that my four-year study in this undergraduate programme has given me a head start on my career.

I graduated from the BSc (Hons) Internet and Multimedia Technologies programme with a minor study in Enterprise Computing in 2019. In the 4-year curriculum of both my major and minor studies, I have acquired fundamental knowledge in different fields such as information technology, multimedia communications, computer networks, as well as management information systems, which have well prepared me for the future work.

In addition, I was glad to have the opportunity to study in Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany under an academic exchange programme for one semester in 2018, and experience the study and living atmosphere in Europe. During the exchange programme, I met friends from all over the world and enhanced both my English and German language proficiency.

I am now working as a Software Engineer in J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. meanwhile pursuing a master’s degree in Big Data Technology in the HKUST. I can leverage the solid programming skills I developed in PolyU and easily apply them to my job after graduation.
