BSc(Hons) in Food Safety and Technology 

‘To learn and to apply, for the benefit of mankind’ is PolyU’s motto. PolyU provides us with an interactive learning environment, encouraging us to escape from the ordinary and putting our knowledge into practice. Last summer, it was my great pleasure to join the University of Cambridge as an exchange student. Attending lectures and meeting various outstanding students from around the world not only deepened my scientific knowledge but also equipped me with advanced communication skills and develop a global mindset. PolyU encourages us not only to learn but also to unleash our potential for innovation. Entering food-innovation competitions has undoubtedly strengthened my teamwork and leadership skills. The University also organizes a variety of volunteer activities for the benefit of mankind such as spending a summer in Turkey teaching English was an unforgettable experience. All of these opportunities have made my university life more fruitful and rewarding.
