Being accepted into CityUHK's esteemed Joint Bachelor's Degree Programme with Columbia University marks a pivotal milestone in my academic journey. This opportunity inspires me to delve deeper into psychology's complexities and broaden my grasp of human cognition in multicultural contexts. The solid foundation from our College of Business—particularly through Management and Organizational Behavior courses—provided essential analytical tools and a worldwide outlook that prepared me for Columbia's intensive research culture. Now, I eagerly apply these skills in courses like Social Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience, channeling my enthusiasm for behavioral science amid New York's vibrant diversity.
