Personal Statement

I write to submit my application for the B.Eng. in Logistics Engineering and Supply Chain Management in the University of Hong Kong. This is a path for me to acquire advanced logistics skills and prepare myself to be a qualified person in the world of logistics.

I am studying in the third year of the Higher Diploma in Logistics and Transports Operation in HKU SPACE Community College. I am very interested in developing my professional knowledge of logistics and I decided to pursue further study in it. Logistics is one of the main forces in Hong Kong, and the logistics activities contribute to its prosperity. I am always ready to equip myself with knowledge of logistics and contribute myself in this world eventually. I aspire to be a logistics analyst. I believe the program of Logistics Engineering and Supply Chain Management is certainly an excellent choice for me.

It has always been my dream to finish my tertiary education with a degree in a prestigious University. With no doubt, the School of Engineering of the University of Hong Kong tops the list. I deeply believe that obtaining a degree in the University would not only enrich my professional knowledge but this would also make me a more mature and independent person, which would be very important to my future career as well as my personal life in general.

In the last summer holiday, I participated in a job placement programme organized by HKU SPACE. I worked as a summer trainee in Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC). I was responsible for studying the schedules of train cleaning, generating graph for the schedules, finding out the problems and giving suggestions. In addition, I learned about the workflow in the KCRC as I was attached to different departments. This was an opportunity for me to strengthen my communication skills through dealing with different levels of people, and it also provided a practical experience of problem solving through completing the work.

In 2006 summer holiday, I worked as a clerk in a forwarder company called The KingFreight Logistics (HK) Limited. I was attached to an import department and it was my first touch of logistics. My daily duty was document handling. Through this summer job, I understood the basic flows of document, the purpose of different documents and different logistics parties involved. This experience facilitates my understanding in lesson and enhances my interest of logistics.

As commented by my secondary school teacher, I am always a diligent and competent
