" Gone were the UIC days, but the fond memories stay, always – the jam-packed workloads, multifarious extra-curricular activities, the serene campus, the Capping/Hair-Pinning Ritual, etc. My UIC experience was an important life journey to me: I found my gait by keeping pace with the competition, gained friendship and joy among friends, and bathed in immersing experiences. It is the gradual accretion of the learning at UIC that had enabled me to begin this new chapter at Australian National University (ANU).

My independence and adaptability skills took origin in the education I received at UIC, which had enabled me to settle in and manage my life and studies in Australia with ease and to enjoy without delay the lectures and discussions with professors and classmates at ANU. In Australia, I further developed my MHR knowledge, made good friends, acquired more and polished my English skills. These are all built on the good foundation of my undergraduate studies at UIC.  

I am thankful to UIC for the chance to study with revered professors who enlightened me about the art of human resource management. My best wishes to UIC and the MHR programme – may you continue to prosper, and achieve heights greater! "

"Graduating from UIC was more than the completion of a very significant journey; it is the most important transition point in my life. It was the time when I had the most memorable moments. My first taste of freedom came when I got offers from my dream schools (e.g. University of Warwick) and my preferred employers (e.g. Bytedance).  

The best moments of joy came from the many group projects I had completed with my teammates. The forming of the teams, the allocating of roles, the brainstorming of ideas, the putting together of the reports, the presentations in English and the Q&A sessions afterwards – the spark of each stage of development eventually consummated in the final outcome of collective wisdom. The discussions and debates were seriously conducted, as if they were rehearsals for the real ‘thing’. We learned gradually to morph from being a passive learner to an articulate speaker of our own thoughts, and from a group of green horns of different backgrounds to a coherent team prolific in ideas. All these not only enhanced our analytical skills and team building competencies, but also our ability to assert ourselves. It is these kinds of attributes and our English proficiency developed through the daily routines at UIC that had enabled us to stand out from any pool of competent applicants.

My past four years attest to the saying I heard before I came to UIC: " Going through the fours years at UIC will be equivalent to going through the last tough year at high school four times. I have no regret but gratitude to UIC and to my MHR teachers. I wish my alma mater all the best and all my fellow students at UIC a better future."

"The broadly based and flexible curriculum at UIC has allowed students to engage in relevant and meaningful activities that prepare them well for opportunities, responsibilities and challenges in both in the workplace and in the ever-changing world.  It not only offers a very smooth transition to international post-graduate programmes, its emphasis on whole-person development also enables students to develop a meaningful understanding of their strengths and goals, thus helping them to find their way when they move on. 

I was accompanied by fellow students in my quest for knowledge and experience. We learned from each other and worked independently; however, more often we collaborated to achieve more. What is more impressive is that the student body of MHR Major has been a strong coherent team. 

Our highly responsible faculty excel at walking us through complicated case analyses by connecting the theories in the texts with practical, real-life knowledge experiences they have gained over the years. I am truly thankful for being a member of the MHR major and for the opportunity to grow in the fertile ground of UIC."

"Choosing the college of your choice is never easy, and the decision is crucial. My four years of college have been to me a process of cognitive remolding. After having worked for a few years, I now appreciate how much UIC has given me. Looking back, I have gained a lot, but what I have missed most is the strong and rigorous academic journey at UIC, the free and democratic ambiance, and the good teachers and helpful friends who had  accompanied me all the way. It can be said that the holistic education received at UIC has exerted a great influence on my development, in particular shaping my personality, fostening my critical faculties and changing my life style. As a graduate of UIC, I have been groomed to be  a person who takes responsibility at both the personal and institutional levels."
