In the past year, HKU SPACE CC offered me sufficient learning opportunities. The library and computer centre let me learn more efficiently. Even though I was not an active learner, my lecturers still encouraged me to study. My classmates assisted me in solving academic issues because we all had a mutual target university admission. The failure in HKDSE was just a part of the learning progress. The associate degree gives you another chance for compensation.

The teachers in HKU SPACE CC and HKU are friendly. They were willing to answer my questions patiently. Also, the summer bridging course is very helpful for my study. I appreciate it!

About the tips in studying, it is crucial to make friends and form study groups. Friends will give you emotional support. During the pandemic year, all courses were taught through Zoom. I felt afraid and lost at that moment. Luckily, my friend encouraged me and studied with me every day. Eventually, my friend and I got high GPA that semester!

In HKU SPACE CC, I sought help form lecturers whenever I didn’t understand the concepts taught, both face to face after lesson time or through email. So, don’t be shy when you have questions. I kept doing revision on the lecture materials after every lesson and therefore it didn’t take me much time to study before the exam. Good luck and hope you have a pleasant experience in HKU SPACE CC.

During my study at HKU SPACE CC, I met many friends of different backgrounds . At first, I was nervous at learning new subjects, I overcame the difficulties with the help from my friends and college lecturers. The key of success was studying hard, putting more effort on doing homework and past papers.

Studying at HKU SPACE CC has allowed me to look at my academic life in a more holistic view and allowed me to explore what I would really like to study.

Lecturers in HKU SPACE CC are definitely caring and patient. With the guidance and support from the teachers, I have built up a better foundation and have prepared well for my future study.

Choosing to study in HKU SPACE CC is a decision that I have never thought of before. I received an offer from JUPAS but I determined to study in HKU SPACE CC. It was obviously the toughest decision that I have made in my life, and the most significant one at the same time.

The lecturers in HKU SPACE CC have top academic qualifications. They don’t simply provide us with knowledge, they also care about our future pathway and learning progress. In ASc programme, we were exposed to extensive hands-on practical experiences which strengthened our knowledge. Apart from the specialism courses, the generic courses have shaped myself into an all-rounded person. More importantly, acquiring knowledge in CC is not only about memorizing answers but understanding the important concepts. CC is a place for you to search for your goals and future pathway, which all of you can achieve what you want by your own way.

當初選擇HKU SPACE CC的原因是希望能升上三大，而SPACE CC亦是最多人能升上三大。我只是因為中文未及格而升不上八大。雖然我只有一年經驗，但當中也學到不少，印象最深刻的是chemistry和statistics課堂，想不到chemistry也能夠那麼有趣，而statistics亦令我對數學更感興趣。祝大家早早從太空升上八大。

After I received my DSE results, I was so disappointed because I could not pursue my dream anymore as I couldn’t identify a school which provided the science subject I wanted. One day, when I searched for that kind of school, I found HKU SPACE CC. I chose to study in HKU SPACE CC because it provided a chance for me to learn science and they had high articulation rate to universities. On the first school day, I was very shy and worried about whether teachers were willing to answer my questions. Surprisingly, during the class, my teachers encouraged us to ask questions and did practices. Through reading the recommended reference books and raising questions, I understood more about the subject I studied. I also made some friends who worked hard. We studied together and helped each other. HKU SPACE CC is like a family. I hope that you can enjoy your life here and get into a university.

I wanted to learn from the best and that's why I chose HKU SPACE CC to prepare myself for university studies. I tried my best in every subject because I had to fight for my future. People may worry that science subjects are difficult but I think the most important factor is enthusiasm. Your ardor will encourage you to overcome the challenges. Lecturers in HKU SPACE CC are kind and caring. They will always be there when you need support. Remember, DSE is just a part of life, which is not the end but a new beginning.

Trust me. You would be grateful to study here before studying a degree. Here, you will study courses that are similar to the ones you will study in a bachelor’s degree. Teachers in HKU SPACE CC will ensure you really understand the things taught in class. After class, you may email lecturers for any problems. They are so nice and patient. You will build up better foundation and be well prepared before studying a degree (competition is really keen in degree studies). I'm sure you will all do a great job here. Wish you all the best!

太空就好像一個大家庭，同學之間互相扶持，老師亦會給予很多支持。老師耐心的教 學與中學的是完全沒得比，我上堂經常問很多問題，他們都不厭其煩地解答。這裏 給了我很多鼓勵，提供了一個機會，讓我挽回在中學裡犯過最大的錯誤。現在我能夠 再上征途，全因為太空讓我重拾信心。還記得上年暑假，我完全沒想過自己能走到今 日，如果你願意，或許下一個就會是你。

Studied in HKU SPACE CC can definitely provide science students with opportunities to study highly-qualified courses in HKU. This experience gave me inspiration that I should study hard and get into HKU. Most of the teachers are nice and helpful. They are willing to help if you seek help from them. Although I failed to get into local University in the first year, it did not dispirit me as I believed my determination and passion could let me overcome the challenges. Finally, it's grateful to receive offers from HKU and PolyU. These experiences allow me to understand nothing can stop me to pursue my own goal if I truely love and want it. Working hard is the most important factor to succeed.

After failure in DSE examination, I was determined to study in HKU SPACE CC since more chances would be given to get into universities in Hong Kong when compared to other CC. I feel grateful with the good teachers in SPACE who helped me achieve the learning outcomes. All the concepts developed in Yr 1 (e.g. IGC, IOC) are essential to deal with the courses provided by HKU in Yr2. I believe that the ways to succeed in AD are to study the subject that you like and pay effort on it.

The study atmosphere in CC is great; lecturers are kind and are enthusiastic about teaching. I still remember when after a Chemistry class, the lecturer still stood outside the classroom answering our questions for a long time. I also met many friends in CC as I joined many activities held by CCSU and became a coordinator in Film Society. The study life in CC was diverse. I transferred from Associate of Business Administration to Associate of Science. Although the road was a little tougher than others’, but I don't regret choosing HKU SPACE CC as a place for me to study and fight for my dream, which was to get a university offer.

HKU SPACE CC has a great reputation. It ranks one of the top institutions in Hong Kong and has a high university enrolment rate. We can find friends with the same goal and work hard to achieve it. We work together and help one another in studies. It definitely provides us a good learning atmosphere. Lecturers are all nice and are always willing to give us a helping hand when we find them. But the premise is that you need to be active. It is an essential element in learning, no matter in CC or in university. Don't hesitate to find lecturers and they will surely help you. The CC is another path for you to success. It is just a matter of time you will graduate from a university.

Working hard is the most important key studying in HKU SPACE CC. In here, everyone wants to get into the university, I studied very hard, read reference books, asked teachers for help and luckily, I have a lot of friends who are willing to teach me to get good results in exams. Besides, the relationship between students and lecturers is good not only in academic but also for some daily activities. Lecturers are willing to listen what difficulties you faced and help you to success, so studying HKU SPACE CC is the best choice to learn and get into the university.

在2014 年DSE 放榜時，當我收了滿科紅的成績單後，已知不能透過JUPAS 的方法進入 學位課程，於是我選擇了進入「太空」,希望能以這兩年的成績降落「地球」，進入學士課程。在HKU SPACE CC的兩年生活中，很感謝這兩年內遇到的人同事，尤其是HKU SPACE CC 這裏的講師，他們在你碰到難關時，不管是學業上或是其他問題，他們都能專業地助你解決問題。 在這裏的兩年生活，還認識了一群「戰友」，我們「並肩作戰」，面對不同報告的死綫，到最後，我們都能進入不同的大學繼續我們的學業。 在這裏勸勉各位，不要因為DSE成績的挫折而覺得進入「太空」開展asso 生活是你的恥辱，在這裏生活並努力學習，定必能得到你想得到的東西。

With an unsatisfactory result in HKDSE, my university dream was seemly distant. Instead of being desperate, under the recommendation of my seniors, I chose HKU SPACE CC to achieve my dream again. Two-year college life flies, and what I acquired is not simply the bachelor’s degree offers from prestigious local universities, more importantly, the enlightenment and encouragement from my lecturers and companions; that enabled me to be a better person. Be conscientious, responsible and empathetic in the college, and you can eventually reach your goals for sure.
