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 Applied Science

The whole person education in CIE is remarkable. In addition to the major courses, the linguistics and philosophy courses helped me a lot when I articulated to undergraduate studies. The philosophy course always gave me some good mental support when I encountered difficulties in my studies. Also, the linguistics courses helped me to build a solid foundation in English.

General Education Courses widened my horizons in addition to my own concentration studies. The programme has enhanced my common sense, and is applicable in my daily life. Let’s say if I am going to be a parent someday, something I learnt from the Psychology class will be useful; it would definitely help me to better understand my own children.

Division of Business

CIE encourages students to pursue knowledge and self-enrichment. Joining the Investment Club had not only widened my horizon, but also given me the chance to apply my academic knowledge in organising and participating in activities and competitions. I am grateful for the guidance of lecturers in the past two years which made me succeed in reaching my goal to articulate to the university.

Division of Communication

CIE provided diversified development opportunities, in which the AD HERE Advertising Competition allowed me to personally experience the entire conceptualisation process and to gain a deeper understanding of the operations in the advertising industry, which could be practically applied to my work.

Division of Social Sciences

My CIE experience has truly opened my eyes, helped me step out of Plato's cave, and allowed me to explore new ideas and perspectives. Now, it’s my turn to explain the outside world to most of my friends, who still believe what they saw on social media was always the reality.
