Message from the College Principal

HKU SPACE Community College is a leading provider of sub-degree programmes in the Greater China region. Since its inception in 2000, the College has produced more than 43,800 graduates, with over 29,300 of them pursuing bachelor degree programmes. Over 15,200 progressed to University Grants Committee-funded institutions, with The University of Hong Kong admitting around 5,000.

The College offers a comprehensive curriculum to prepare students for further degree education. The Experiential Learning component enables students to apply their learned skills and practical concepts to tackle authentic situations, while the Core Curriculum of our Associate Degree is composed of interdisciplinary courses. Many of our Higher Diploma programmes have received staunch support from industrial partners in providing practical learning internship experiences to our students. 

We continue to organise various extra-curricular activities to ensure that all students are afforded the opportunities to maximise their potential, whether they are local or from mainland and abroad. Our student body is becoming more diverse, and we cherish this diversity for the richness it brings. For many years, our students have been performing impressively in musical events, undertaking internships in private corporations and non-governmental organisations, and participating in projects to help underprivileged groups and individuals. The College is now developing new programmes and courses to enrich our students’ learning experiences, to enhance their academic endeavours, and to consolidate their career marketability. In fact, while many students pursue further studies, those who have opted for vocational pathways have been praised by their employers for their versatility, problem-solving skills, and professional attitudes.

Students’ learning at HKU SPACE Community College is not only academic but also practical and multi-dimensional. Our Student Development and Counselling Services team has organised regular activities to foster personal growth, self-discovery, and networking. In addition to the activities of our Students Union and various interest societies, students can either serve as Student Ambassadors or join the Mentorship Scheme.

The College is committed to providing excellence in student learning experiences. We look forward to helping all our students reach new heights in their academic study and career development.
