我的DSE考得很差,當時對未來感到迷惘。完成毅進文憑後,我入讀了HKU SPACE CC的市場營銷高級文憑課程。

一開始我對全英文的學習感到非常不習慣,但幸好每一節課堂結束後老師都很願意提供幫助。我在HKU SPACE CC這兩年有非常精彩的學生生涯,例如參加電影學會和學校提供的講座,這些經歷都令我成長非常多。這兩年的成長和經歷,讓我終於獲得理工大學的學位,真的非常感激這兩年在HKU SPACE CC遇到的人。

Before studying at HKU SPACE CC, I got lost at that moment. After receiving encouragement and suggestion from my family and friends, I continued my study journey in the Higher Diploma in Marketing programme in HKU SPACE CC. Although we have suffered hardships of learning as the pandemic wears on, my study within this year is fruitful. The passionate and inspiring lecturers were practically equipping me with the skills and knowledge necessary for my career and advanced studies. Simultaneously, the school offered substantial academic and non-academic supports to me which gave me the push I needed. After a year of hard work, I am admitted to the Bachelor of Arts at The University of Hong Kong.

At this moment, some of you may be confused about the future. However, I believe that you will figure out it in HKU SPACE CC later. Just work harder and smarter. With the  effort, you can achieve anything.

大學學位,真的是遙不可及? 曾經,我兩次被考試擊倒。會考後再重讀中五,好不容易升讀預科,卻要面對另一考驗:高考。憑著不俗的成績,以為可以歡天喜地迎接來年的大學生活,不料卻失望而回,因為JUPAS Offer 只有一個酒店管理高級文憑。 我曾想過放棄,但身邊朋友不斷鼓勵我,建議我到港大附屬學院修讀高級文憑課程,既可有一技之長,也可以報讀大學!當時,我真的一點信心也沒有,心想哪有這麼容易的事。現在回想起來,幸好我做了明智的決定。 於是我選了Sales, Marketing and Advertising,課程與生活息息相關,一份理論,九份實踐。兩年的生活很充實,令我愈讀愈有信心。畢業那年,最令我意想不到的是我獲香港城市大學錄取,還有兩個Offers呢!所以,「一分耕耘一分收穫」的確是千真萬確。 大家一定要記著「俾心機,有轉機!」

還記得當年放榜,收到高考成績單後,心情十分焦慮。在短時間內必須選擇自己的路:到底應該繼續進修,還是找份長工度過餘生? 經過深思熟慮,最後選擇報讀港大附屬學院商業學高級文憑課程,除了可為工作做好準備,從不同課外活動及實習機會中找尋自己真正的興趣,亦再次測試自己到底有沒有能力考進大學。皇天不負有心人,得到講師的悉心教導和指示,同學之間的鼓勵和支持,最後有幸獲得兩間大學取錄,繼續修讀喜歡的科目。 這兩年高級文憑生涯,讓我尋回自我,上了人生寶貴的一課。「態度勝過高度」,是一位講師常常提醒我們的,亦從此成為我人生的座右銘。在此再次感謝所有講師和同學。

Students' Activities

GBA Tour, July 2023

As part of the Inter-school Entrepreneurship Workshop, 10 students from the Division of Economics and Business accompanied a group of secondary school students to visit Rainbow Shopping Mall and an electronic manufacturing factory in Dongguan. The interesting tour provided the students with the opportunity to explore the consumer culture, shopping trends, and innovative business ideas in the Greater Bay Area.

Students took a guided tour on the factory floor where they observed different stages of the production processes – starting from component assembly to final product testing and packaging. Also, they had the chance to ask questions to the management of the factory, which helped them gain insights into the challenges and opportunities of the electronic manufacturing industry in mainland.

Students learned about the major trends and development in the electronic manufacturing industry, the evolution of manufacturing technologies, the emergence of smart devices, as well as the practices of supply chain management.
