Helen Wu
Experience:
My name is Wu, You (Helen), and I was a student of the MA in English (Literary Studies) programme at CUHK in the year 2016-17. I am now an English book editor at Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press (SFLEP).
The MA programme provided an opportunity to explore several literary topics in depth. There was a balance between lectures, discussion, and reading of relevant literary works. One could also hear the sharings by professors in the English Department on their latest researches. I felt lucky to have met inspiring and passionate professors and like-minded classmates during my study at CUHK.
It is after I started working as book editor that I truly learnt the importance of my education as an English major student. All that I read and wrote at university has become the resource at my service. And it is a resource I can use to fuel my career for a lifetime.
