Manson Ip Chun-yin, a mathematics prodigy who was enrolled at PolyU in 2019 at the age of 14, told the media in an interview that he has already got used to the campus life.

 

Manson said while he could handle the core subjects with ease, he had to catch up with Chinese and English as he only finished form 2 for these subjects. He also said long period of remote classes in past years has also affected his study to some extent.

 

To help him adapt to university life, the Department has formed a team which meets Manson regularly to understand and support his learning needs, as well as assigning a senior student to be a peer mentor to share advice and experience.

 

Dr Raymond Sze, Associate Professor and Programme Leader at the Department of Applied Mathematics, said the University values not only studying but also holistic education. It may not be good for students if they perform well at studying but find their university lives joyless.
