During my studies under the ABA programme of HKUSPACE CC, I’ve acquired abundant knowledge and skill sets in the business domain and it certainly helps me develop the right perspectives and insights in the business field. Moreover, the curriculum provides me with an adequate foundation of various business aspects to gear myself comprehensively. That is crucial for my transition to university studies.

Besides, what differentiates HKUSPACE CC from other schools are its extensive learning resources, first-rate lecturers and multicultural student groups. Studying in such a cosy setting enables me to pursue my passion without apprehension. I will not hesitate to say that enrolling in HKUSPACE CC’s ABA is one of the wisest decisions I’ve made.

I felt lost regarding my future in the past. However, I have met many classmates and we worked hard together and helped each other during studying the 2-year associate degree programme. With lecturers’ encouragement and advice, I became more resilient and goal oriented. The study experience in HKU SPACE CC was enjoyable and unforgettable.

Embracing uncertainty and embark the first step. The methods of learning in HKUSPACE CC are different from those in secondary schools.  Independence sets the baseline while companions determine the boundaries of achievement. Study in here, fortunately, I found myself, formed friendships and began to genuinely savor life’s pleasures. When youth is on your side, just try and step out.

HKUSPACE CC is the place that gave me a second chance. The teachers, the classes, and the overall atmosphere at the college were all very effective in pushing me to improve. Although there were many setbacks and occasional disappointments, my friends and mentors were always there to help me the most. I feel I am not alone in my struggle, but we are progressing together.

I used to be a mediocre student who struggled to do revision properly. With all the support and assistance from fellow classmates and teachers at CC,  I started improving myself from mistakes and laziness.  'You reap what you have sown.' It's never too late to mend.  I truly believe all of us have the potential and ability to get a satisfactory result. We just need to manage our time properly and go extra miles for our goals.

As the saying goes, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land among the stars.” HKU SPACE CC is a great place to equip myself with the knowledge required for my future studies in the university. There are lots of experienced and supportive lecturers who are willing to provide considerable assistance while having difficulty in academics. The provision of SDCS activities has helped me do much more preparation for a university interview. It is undeniable that your hard work will pay off when you devote all your energies to studying here.

HKU SPACE CC not only acted as a stepping stone for me to get a place in UGC university, but also as a truly inspirational academy from which I grew and derived a great sense of achievement. The teachers here are approachable and supportive, and the teaching model of the ABA programme is also pretty much in line with the UGC universities, which I believe would help me to adapt to the university school life in future.

I was once a journalism student, yet later I realized that business is where my true passion lies. HKU SPACE CC was undoubtedly the first option coming to my mind, because of its excellent learning atmosphere as well as enviable reputation in the field. After two years of hard work, I was genuinely grateful that I received admission offers from HKU, CUHK, and HKUST. 

I’m sure you are now under immense academic pressure trying to get a place in university, but I’m confident that HKU SPACE CC can offer you what it takes to get into a reputable one. Assert yourself and keep working hard. Best of luck in your journey to university!

All roads lead to Rome. This sentence has been proved by my study and life in the HKU SPACE CC. My DSE score was completely out of my expectation, and I did not meet the entrance requirements of university. You may feel frustrated at this stage, but I'm sure you'll change your mind once you try. HKU SPACE CC offers me another chance to start over. In addition to fruitful courses and helpful teachers, there are also students with the same goal. Astronauts, see you in university!

「太空」的每位講師都充滿教學熱誠，絕對不會hea 教。我遇過20位講師中，無一個hea教。另外，「太空」有很多成績優異的學生，有些同學們抱著競爭的心態讀書，在這氣氛中學習，無形中令自己更上進。如果你有清晰目標，例如誓要入「三大」，太空是你不二之選。

Studying at HKU SPACE CC was a meaningful and interesting experience for me. Not only did I acquire useful knowledge from lecturers, but also built up friendships with my schoolmates. During my 2 years of study, lecturers provided lots of advice and helped me when I faced difficulties in my academic studies and career development. Also, there were different societies and clubs for students to participate in. I was glad to be one of the executive committee members in the Business Society and tried to help newcomers adapt to the College life. I have no regrets in choosing HKU SPACE CC as the stepping-stone to university, and assure you that you will gain much more than you expect by studying at HKU SPACE CC!

My performances in HKDSE were not satisfactory, which resulted in no university offers.  However, my outstanding GPA at HKU SPACE CC allowed me to obtain my first-time scholarship and the chance to get into HKUST. Although you might be frustrated at this moment having to study an associate degree, I’d like to remind you that if you work hard, it would be a fruitful experience that may lead to many more opportunities in the future.

“Astronaut”, keep empowering yourself! I wish you all the best in the future!

My experience gained here, with my UGC-offers tell that choosing HKU SPACE CC is definitely a wise choice to make. All lecturers are nice and friendly, they are always happy to help if I have any questions about the study. During these 2-year time of study, not only have I gained knowledge from lecturers, but I also enhanced my interpersonal, communication and organisation skills. Most obviously when organising activities of Caring Angel, which is a scheme organised by SDCS of the college. Both extra-curriculum activities and study time in HKU SPACE CC have made my life becomes fruitful.

Pursuing my Associate’s degree in Business Administration at HKU SPACE CC was a memorable and valuable experience. I had always been frustrated about which business course I was truly interested in before I applied for ABA. Fortunately, in my 1^st year, I was able to build a strong foundation on the numerous business courses before choosing to undertake the Accounting theme in Year 2.

In addition, HKU SPACE CC offered me different kinds of support I wanted, ranging from further study inquiries to maintaining my mental health. Some of the highlights of my 2-year education was the Student Development and Counseling services provided by the college. They arranged countless talks and activities relating to career development and university studies. Moreover, lecturers were also very helpful. Since I was pursuing ABA, my business lecturers would send us seminars and events relating to our course (HKICPA, the Big 4).

Overall, HKU SPACE CC has benefited me and others in various ways. These two years were not easy, but with the help of the college and the lecturers, I have enjoyed my time and managed to finish my programme.

During my HKU SPACE CC study, I have gained 13 A+ and 2 A out of 15 courses in my first three semesters. Sincerely, I was glad to meet a group of lecturers who encouraged me to ask questions actively, even the less skillful ones, which helped me a lot in my digestion of knowledge in depth. Meanwhile, thanks to the English Enhancement Courses prepared for mainland students in the first semester, I was exposed to multiple incredibly effective learning approaches. I'm convinced that both the business knowledge and the study skills I attained in HKU SPACE CC could benefit me a lot in my future study.

During the study in HKU SPACE Community College, I learnt effective individual and interpersonal skills. In attending accounting courses, I was equipped with basic accounting, taxation and auditing knowledge and applied it in solving business-related problems. Besides, I made a lot of new friends and took part in various extracurricular activities, which made my college life colorful and meaningful.

In the two-year college life, hardly ever have I felt alone on this journey. Studying together, organising the orientation camp, being crazy in the common room, countless slices of life with my schoolmates having the same goal embellish my life. Our lecturers not only do support us academically, they also act in the role of peers and counsellors. All those relationships and experiences are my unique treasure which I believe that they are irreplaceable and always precious to me.

To those who propose to get articulated to university, please do not let your determination fade out and remember what you have promised yourself at the moment.

要升讀大學，努力和運氣缺一不可。當初選讀HKU SPACE CC的時候，已決意要用功，希望能夠順利升讀大學。在課堂中，我很留心聽講師的講課，溫習考試時，往往事半功倍，比其他同學花更少時間去掌握考試的內容！ 此外，在CC，我很幸運地遇上了不少好老師。在學習和升學上，或是準備大學面試，都給了我很多寶貴的意見。從第一年的面試失敗，到現在僥倖地獲數間大學取錄，他們的確幫助了我不少！尤其是Econ major的老師，給了我很多關於大學升讀經濟科的意見！ 除了讀書以外，CC也有多元化的活動讓同學參與，而我有幸地加入了HKU SPACE Toastmasters Club，提供了很多演講機會，令我在匯報和面試時不會怯場及從容面對。CC提供的升學資訊絕對是數一數二的齊全，SDCS的「天書」對我們準備面試及升學有極大的幫助，裡面有齊全的升學資訊及過往的面試題目，能充份準備面試！ 最後，在CC的兩年絕對是我人生的轉捩點。在此，我感謝各位講師的教誨和指導。 “If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.” 希望同學面對失敗時不要放棄，努力面對每一個困難，改變自己，最終一定能找到自己理想的出路！

同學們都為著目標而努力，學習氣氛良好，我更認識到我的『戰友』們，大家互相鼓勵，彼此扶持。同時，老師在學習和升學方面都給了我很多寶貴的意見，他們都很樂意去幫助我們，使我認清將來的方向。在CC的這兩年間獲益匪淺，亦助我為升上大學做好準備。

For the two years that I’d spent in HKU SPACE CC, I am glad to have met many new friends; we spent lots of time studying together. The ABA Programme not only provided me a solid business knowledge, I was also having more chances to interview some successful real-life managers and do research on Hong Kong companies. These valuable projects strengthen my presentation skills and analytical skills comprehensively. Lecturers in this college are helpful and supportive; they are willing to provide useful information about our further studies and giving advices in our academic work.

HKU SPACE CC的工商管理副學士課程幫助我重新訂下目標，為升上大學做好準備。在學院學習，使我對工商管理有更深切的認識，亦助我做好自己的生涯規劃，期望在此領域上有更進一步的發展。學院學術氣氛濃厚，同學間有著共同的信念，彼此扶持，為實現理想努力。在講師的幫助下，我的演說能力和面試技巧日漸進步，也令我更有自信，在待人接物的技巧上更趨成熟，對將來的發展有莫大裨益。

Studying at HKU SPACE CC was undoubtedly the most memorable experience in my life. After encountering setbacks in public exam, HKU SPACE CC gave me the second chance to reach my goals. Life is full of ups and downs. HKDSE results may not truly represent your abilities and exertions. In HKU SPACE CC, your efforts will always pay off. You should not be hindered by the difficulties and now it’s time to move on again. It is your attitude, not your aptitude that determines your altitude.

HKU SPACE CC provides a pathway to enter into the university after two years of study. With the assistance from the experienced and supportive lecturers, I have gained back the confidence in academic. Using the resources wisely and paying as many efforts as we can would be the only way to succeed. Though GPA does not mean everything, it shows how hard you have studied. These two years were not easy, but I enjoyed it very much and I am thankful of having this “door” allowing me to continue my study.

Studying in HKU SPACE Community College (CC) would be the most unforgettable memory in my life. Throughout the two-year all-rounded and intensive training, not only have I gained professional knowledge from lecturers, but I also built strong interpersonal skills and logical thinking while doing group projects. Besides, I have met some comrade-in-arms who went through the same experience and supported me in these 2 years. I have no regrets for choosing HKU SPACE CC as my stepping stone to university. Though, the courses here are challenging. I am sure that by frequent communication with the caring lecturers of the College and find the appropriate study partners, you can find the ways to tackle the difficulties. Tremendous help from lecturers and study partners would be your dawn in CC’s life! All in all, I ensure that HKU SPACE CC would give you an unforgettable experience in your entire life and you would gain far more than you expect!

The score I obtained in HKDSE was not satisfactory. I took Physics and Chemistry as electives in my secondary school but later I recognised that science was not my interest. Therefore I decided to study ABA in HKU SPACE CC and had finally obtained satisfactory results. HKU SPACE CC offered me another chance to admit to university and has provided me with a lot of opportunities to learn and grow.

I am so lucky to have chosen HKU SPACE Community College to pursue my Associate Degree in Business Administration. Two years ago, when I was planning to choose Business as my major, many people discouraged me by saying that it is extremely difficult to get an offer from universities because the competition is too keen. Luckily, I insisted on my decision and the results turned out to be quite the opposite. Now, I have four admission offers from top universities in Hong Kong and most importantly, I can see my growth in the business studies. There are three elements in HKU SPACE CC that contributed to my success today. First, the lecturers are always willing to help. For example, they organised several mock interviews to help us prepare for the university interviews. We could also consult them with our personal statements writing and career development. With the help of several lecturers in HKU SPACE CC, my team won the champion of the ACCA Business Competition 2015, which definitely broadened my horizon and added more value to my resume. Second, the Student Development & Counselling Services (SDCS) is extremely helpful; they regularly organise talks about interview skills and university admission, and besides I can also check out the records on university admission and interview questions from the past years. With all this useful information, I understand more about the university admission and interviews. Third, school exchange and internship were also wonderful experiences. I joined school exchange to Beijing and Taiwan last summer, and an internship with Habitat for Humanity Hong Kong; these experiences not only allowed me to meet more friends from different cultures, but also strengthened my business-related skills.

Studying in HKU SPACE CC helps to develop me to be an all-rounded person. The experience that I had at HKU SPACE is meaningful to my further studies and my future career. When I was preparing my examinations, I would usually review my lecture notes and make my own notes to consolidate what I had learnt. For the university interview, I usually went through the past interview questions and read lots of recent news to get well-prepared. Hope these can bring you a new view to study in ABA Programme.

HKU SPACE CC ABA is a place to realise your potential. It has changed my attitude, visions and more importantly, my destiny. I am thankful to my friends at CC who worked with me to come across different obstacles. I remember when I first entered ABA, I didn’t expect that I could reach so far. I appreciate the lecturers in ABA who inspired and motivated me when I needed help. I gradually built up my confidence with different practical trainings and assistance. The learning style at HKU SPACE CC is not only interactive, but also encourages discussions among classmates. Although the journey is tough, I feel the atmosphere and the community here are so supportive, which empowers me to move forward without hesitation. In a nutshell, ABA is a stage to unleash your potentials and stretch your wings. All your hardships will eventually pay off. Join us and let’s make things happen.

Try your best to stay focus in class and take every assignment seriously. Remember no pain no gain. The more attention you have in class, the less time you need to spend on revision. In my opinion, time spent is not equivalent to the result. Therefore, study hard is merely the minimum, study smart is something you should master in your study in associate degree.

我當初入讀HKU SPACE CC時，只抱着「過了這兩年，進大學便海闊天空」的心態，只視副學士為升讀大學的跳板，沒有想過校園生活會否愉快，也未想過在這裡會見識到甚麼，學到甚麼，得到甚麼，最重要是最後能進大學。我想，不少同學都和我有相似的想法。 兩年過去，我的想法改變了。Offer固然重要，但個人成長也同樣重要。這是一個很好讓我好好磨練一番的機會，得到的可能比大學更多。在大學，可以選擇去玩、走堂、燃燒GPA；但在這裡，只能專注讀書，做好時間管理，應付各種挑戰。 經過這兩年，我感覺到自己不再是一個聽從家長老師命令和容易受人影響的小孩，而是有自己想法和價值觀，懂時間分配，能夠自己處理問題的成年人。

Studying an Associate Degree provided me with opportunities to enrich my business knowledge and make my dream come true. I became an all-rounded person by learning through presentations, group works, projects, and discussion. Not only have I gained essential business knowledge but I also developed better presentation skills. All these had helped me overcome the challenges in university interviews and examinations. Moreover, various talks and activities held by the College had widened my horizon. From university applications to career development, HKU SPACE CC provided numerous sources and consultations that helped me to plan my own development effectively and efficiently. You may feel lost and hopeless. However, you can find your companions - lecturers and schoolmates. They will support and encourage you to overcome all the challenges. To sum up, I do believe that everyone who enters this College will find meaningful things in their lifetime and have a great future.
