The Blazing Corner - LiPACE Stephanie Szeto
In Hong Kong, studying psychology has always been a privilege for a selected few. Therefore I regarded myself extremely lucky when I was finally granted an opportunity to study a UK psychology degree here in LiPACE in 2010.
The course I am studying, the BSc (Hons) Psychology, is offered by University of Salford, in collaboration with LiPACE, the Open University of Hong Kong. Honestly, I felt so unfamiliar the first day I stepped into this remote campus in Lai King but as time goes by I gradually learn to appreciate this quad.
It locates in the picturesque hillside of Lai King, with a Sports Centre in walking distance which provides a convenient venue for us to play badminton after class. There is also a direct bus to and from Stanley Ho Library, so that we can enjoy library services at the Homantin main campus with least effort. Moreover, we are eligible to enjoy the e-library access for both University of Salford and the Open University of Hong Kong where we can read e-journals off-campus from the vast databases.

I am glad to witness the positive changes of Lai King Campus for the previous year, with the introduction of complementary facilities and programs to meet the need of the increasing number of students. More computers are installed in student common room and a new English Language Learning Program is brought in. Photography and fashion students’ artworks, together with positive quotes from celebrities are displayed over the campus. Inspiredby the growing academic atmosphere in LiPACE, we, a group of enthusiastic psychology students, published the debut of Psycholic,in November 2011 to promote psychology knowledge and raise others’ concern on interesting psychological phenomenon. We are proud to be a part of the positive changes in Lai King Campus and hope that one day LiPACE will become one of the best institutes to study psychology in Hong Kong.
