After graduation, Tank worked as a photographer at Sing Tao Daily, and is currently working as a Teaching Assistant who teaches some Form 3 Chinese lessons (including non-Chinese speaking students), edits teaching materials, and handle other administrative works.

Patsy graduated from the BA-ENG programme in 2016. During the four years of study, Patsy took part in an exchange programme in Gordon College, Boston, USA and an internship in Beijing, China.

On the other hand, the linguistics courses consolidated her understanding of the English language and prepared her for exploring the relationship between human and language in the postgraduate studies. With the consolidation of English language provided by the courses in the programme, she was able to find her academic and career path at ease.
