Our MSocSc Media, Culture and Creative Cities students successfully presented their ongoing research at our Capstone Project Presentation Day on 8 March 2025, held at The University of Hong Kong.

Students shared initial findings of their projects, and received constructive feedback from Faculty members and their peers on how to further strengthen their research.

Our teaching team was highly impressed by the quality and originality of presentations by all students. Special prizes were awarded for ‘Most Engaging Presentation’, ‘Best Use of Sociological Theory’ and ‘Best Overall Presentation’.

“The growth I achieved from MCCC Capstone Project was beyond expectation. Hectic as the schedule was, I grasped profound insights in academic research by working closely with Dr. Carmen Tong and my teammates Joe and Sally. I genuinely appreciate the programme’s rigorous training in research methodology and critical thinking, which laid a solid foundation for our future studies. Also, the supportive and inclusive environment at HKU Department of Sociology has given me the confidence to pursue academia, where I have always felt seen, accepted, and respected throughout this journey. Receiving the Best Overall Presentation award on International Women's Day made the experience even more meaningful, and I shall keep marching on in future!” - Rey Tingrui ZENG, MSocSc(MCCC) full-time student

"The Capstone project provides a free utopia for almost all fields of research interests to take root and flourish. The process of multitasking, while challenging, often leads to a richer understanding as you juggle various perspectives and approaches during consecutive study and the refreshing of thoughts.” – Zhengyi LI, MSocSc(MCCC) full-time student

"The MCCC program provides you with the unlimited possibilities. The process of studying these topics can help you to gain a deeper understanding from different perspectives, which is not only very useful in academic, but also in future’ life.” – Jiaqi MEI, MSocSc(MCCC) full-time student

We look forward to continuing to support our students as they complete their projects!
