"Today’s student-athletes no longer have to choose between academic achievement and sporting excellence. With determination, effective time management, and the right support, they can excel in both academics and sports, striving for success on every stage. During my studies at The Education University of Hong Kong, the flexible learning arrangements, including online make-up classes and adaptable class schedules, enabled me to balance training, competitions, and academic commitments effectively. This unwavering support provided by EdUHK has given me the confidence to thrive along my dual pathway as both a student and an athlete, and to continuously strive for excellence in both pursuits. "

"EdUHK actively supports my "Dual-Track Career Development." Since transitioning to a full-time athlete in my third year of university, the university’s professors and the elite Athlete Development Team have provided continuous learning support and follow-up, giving me the confidence to go out and compete. With a clear study plan, I successfully completed my physical education internship and academic coursework, enabling me to continuously grow both in sports and academics!"

"Through SALSA scheme at EdUHK, I was able to balance my DSE exam preparation with intensive athletic commitments. During my initial university semester, I faced the challenge of representing Hong Kong, China in several U20 Athletics Championships. As a freshman, I worried about excessive class absences affecting my academic progress. Fortunately, the university proactively provided support before the term began - coordinating customised class and assignment arrangements that allowed me to fully participate in competitions while maintaining my studies without compromise."

"The unwavering support from professors, lecturers, and the Elite Athlete Development Team has been invaluable throughout my study journey, providing guidance and encouragement. With hands-on practical experiences, EdUHK not only prepares us for a fruitful career but also fosters a lifelong passion for health and education. For example, I have engaged in dynamic learning experiences that cover essential health topics, such as counselling skills which I am particularly interested in, equipping me with the knowledge to promote well-being in communities."

"I had my internship as a business catcher at OnBoard for Good for two months. Through the Elite Athlete Career Development Internship Programme, EdUHK provided a connection for me to experience and gain valuable insight through this internship. It has broadened my horizons and helped me to equip myself better in pursuing my career in the future."

"I appreciate the teachers and staff members so much for dedicating a great deal of effort and time to help me with my studies at EdUHK, especially when I was attending trainings and competitions overseas. They had my back and kept me on track. In addition, it was my honour to be appointed as an Elite Athlete Friendly University (EAFU) Ambassador, to act as a role model to promote the holistic development of local athletes. "

"An athlete’s life span is short. It is crucial for us to think about our paths after retirement. Thanks to EdUHK, I have the opportunity to continue with my career in sport while acquiring academic knowledge and practical skills beneficial for my future development."
