Alumni Sharing
Since 2000, CIE has nurtured thousands of local and non-local students. They are now fulfilling their dreams of either furthering education or serving different parts of the community. Some graduates whom you may know would like to share their words with you.
Division of Arts and Languages
Cultural Studies introduced me to post-structuralism and deconstruction, fostered my interest in the new trends in contemporary thought, and led me to the road to philosophy. After my master's degree I went to France to further explore philosophy in the academia, like cosmopolitanism and transhumanism. These experiences have made me who I am today.

Division of Communication
As a mainland student, CIE provided me with many opportunities to participate in student activities. During my study, I participated in the Europe study tour and successfully received the ROA scholarship. The study tour experience was very helpful for my further studies. In addition, I also participated in the Communication Student Union and co-organized student activities, including orientations and guest lectures. As a student who was not good at Cantonese at the time, these were all good opportunities to practise my language skills. The experiences in joining CIE activities have greatly influenced my future career in Hong Kong, which made me involve more in local life and engage better in a Cantonese-speaking environment.

Division of Social Sciences
Studying Practical Philosophy at CIE enriched my understanding of the subject. I learned to identify the moral dilemmas in society, examine them critically, and seek reasonable solutions. The programme discussed issues related to life, religion, politics, ethics, and technology, which led me to revisit the legitimacy of values that I have long taken for granted. My conceptual and logical thinking were also enhanced, which empowered me to provide convincing arguments when examining the controversies arising from the above topics.
