Computer Science Progression

Every human domain from education, manufacturing, transport, entertainment, to healthcare is becoming better, safer, more economical, and even possible thanks to the contributions of computer science. However, being a computer science student isn’t easy at all. I doubted my decision to major in this discipline when I stepped into the computer science classes, lost in all kinds of terms and theories, or when I meddled in the codes and bugs, anxiously and exhaustedly. But this is the charm of computer science—problems keep mounting while solving them will give you a sense of achievement and push your knowledge to a higher level. It is a headache and a joy. It challenges you and rewards you. I would like to devote the rest of my life to this field;

I enjoy team work, in which we share a common goal as well as sweets and bitters. In the summer of 2016, with the team, I developed the management system of examinations for self-taught learning. We had developed student information systems based on the platform built by the teacher when learning SQL. At the thought of creating a system of our own, we itched to have a try. But the reality bit. Our demand analysis didn’t take the practical conditions into account, which caused many technical problems afterwards and forced us to back to the beginning. The disappointment for the wasted time mixed with the pleasure for learning from the mistakes came over me. After the obstacle, the game with the codes really began. Though having learned java, I was a little timid due to lack of experience. I didn’t start programming until I spent three days thoroughly digesting the tutorials on java web development. To my delight, it was easier than I had thought. Siting all day along and getting stuck by the problems was suffering, but the happiness I gained the moment the problem was settled was matchless. I really cherished this experience, not only for it sharpened my programming ability, but also for it motivated me to address the challenges and uncertainties with

To decode more mysteries of computer science, I decide to apply for your MSc in Computer Science programme. I have been longing for studying at HKU, an international university that is renowned for the excellence in research and teaching, dynamic campus, and inspiring faculty. The undergraduate classes have aroused my interest in image processing, computer graphics, and multimedia technology, and I can’t wait to gain new perspectives on these topics in your Image processing and computer vision and Multimedia technologies. A master degree of HKU will open the doors to many promising careers in major companies. AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind has shown us the potential of AI. It is poised to be a trend and I aspire to work on AI in Google after graduation. In the long run, I want to establish my own technology company. I might not as smart as Mark Zuckerberg, but I have the guts and ambition and believe success begins with impossible
