Position: Sustainability Officer
As a 2024 graduate, I can confidently say that the one-year study of the MA(EfS) programme was a transformative experience that shaped both my career and worldview. Coming from a business undergraduate background, I hesitated initially about switching to sustainability. The hesitation disappeared when I found that I fell in love with social sciences because of the programme’s interdisciplinary approach which blends theory with hands-on practice.
Under the guidance of passionate professors, I explored essential courses such as Climate Change and Carbon Management and Global Issues in Sustainability Education. The programme’s distinctive feature is its interactive style: professors treated us as peers, fostering lively debates and even taking us on field trips—from museum visits to outdoor environmental workshops. The emphasis on SDGs, especially gender equality, broadened my perspective immensely.
Despite commuting daily from Shenzhen during the one-year study, the campus’ welcoming atmosphere and thoughtfulness of the faculty made me feel at home. The practical focus, teamwork opportunities, and industry connections of the programme prepared me perfectly for my current role as a Sustainability Officer at a multinational firm. EdUHK isn’t just a university—it’s a community that nurtures change-makers. Forever grateful!
