“As an IMCSP graduate, I have quickly gained graduate employment in a diversified financial and immigration group and currently share my working time between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. My job duties cover MPF pensions and cross-border assets, together with financial identity planning to support individual customers. The IMCSP programme endowed me with a global perspective, which opened up many career opportunities in the financial and education industries for me.”
Ms LI Yuanjia, IMCSP Graduate 2021
“I am passionate about everything related to “education”. At Lingnan University, the IMCSP Programme painstakingly helped me define this passion via all the courses offered. I truly enjoyed them all as they exposed me to the nitty-gritty of education policy in East Asia and worldwide. As a result, I quickly grasped the tools necessary to become an outstanding policy researcher and maker in the field of education. I graduated as one of the best students in my cohort, and my qualification, coupled with the writing and presentation skills I acquired, landed me my current job in Hong Kong. I have now become a registered educator with strong values. Thanks to IMCSP, I can now prepare to pursue both my short and long-term goals as I move on in life.”
Mr OWOYEMI Dare Seun, IMCSP Graduate 2020
"Currently, I work in the insurance industry, and what I learned in the IMCSP programme is very helpful for my work indeed. To some extent, it was the study of my IMCSP capstone project that made me determined to join this profession. Many people think that insurance is mainly a sales job. Yet, my lessons on elderly care policy and the health policy in the IMCSP Programme made me understand the advantages and disadvantages of social policies in different regions. Now, I care about my clients and always think about how I can use commercial insurance to make up for the deficiencies of social policy in their daily lives. I believe my background in social policy makes me a different professional than my peers in this competitive industry."
Ms LIN Xin, IMSCP Graduate 2019
"Thinking back to my time on the IMCSP Programme, there are so many good memories for me. The programme provided all kinds of different learning opportunities. For me personally, the guest lectures and field visits were particularly valuable because they introduced me to the work of NGOs. This knowledge prepared me to provide professional advice on social issues and policy problems to my employer. I am still very thankful to all the professors on the IMCSP Programme."
Ms CHEN Huimin, IMSCP Graduate 2018
