Outstanding senior students are trained to help first year students to solve their academic and inter-personal problems through experience sharing. The programme benefits both mentors and mentees.

With the support of the public and private sectors, the Department has numerous scholarships for our outstanding students. Most scholarships are awarded to students with outstanding academic performance and excellent leadership skills who are keen to provide services in their campus life. We encourage students to use the scholarship for continuous learning or in other meaningful ways.
