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.

当初选择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。我只是因为中文未及格而升不上八大。虽然我只有一年经验，但当中也学到不少，印象最深刻的是chemistry和statistics课堂，想不到chemistry也能够那么有趣，而statistics亦令我对数学更感兴趣。祝大家早早从太空升上八大。

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。

我在HKU SPACE CC一年比在中学六年所学到的还要多。我每天都留校温习至十时才离开，没有多余的功课，下课后全是靠自己看参考书、wiki。测验考试范围广泛，但难度比公开试低，让我自由地根据自己兴趣而温习。让我获益最多的一科是学习与人沟通，做group project遇上不同程度的组员，因而结识了许多不同背景朋友，最后还得到港大录取，远超乎我入学时的期望。

After the release of the HKDSE results, I entered HKU SPACE CC with sorrow and despair. But I felt grateful as well because I was given a second bite at the cherry to get into university. Personally speaking, hard work is of the utmost importance to attain fruitful grades. In order to be considered by universities, it is crucial to have high GPA, especially in Semester 1. Although the programme is not easy to handle, it is still manageable if you invest time and effort. So try your level best and see you in the university next year.

When I received my public examination result last year, I was upset and I didn't know what to do. Finally, my friends suggested me to study in HKU SPACE CC. After studied a year in CC, I got a lot of changes. Tertiary education is totally different from secondary education. After a whole day of lessons, I would go to the library to do revision on what I had learnt. If there was anything I wasn't sure about, I would check and read reference books. In this year, I started to enjoy learning rather than just learning for the public examinations. Admittedly, life in CC is extremely tough; we had to do a lot of assignments and even attend examination on a Sunday, but I still enjoyed it because there are nice lecturers who will help you if you seek help. What I want to say is nothing is impossible as long as you have a dream.

I am very glad that I could get into the university in the first year. At first, I felt desperate when I failed to get into a degree programme with my HKDSE result. Besides my hard work, HKU SPACE CC helped me a lot to reach my success; for example, programmes offered by CC are similar to those in universities, which familiarises us with university-life and helps in answering the professors in interviews. Of course, working hard is the most important factor to have a better chance to further your study. Thus, you should thoughtfully consider when selecting which programme to study. Ability always overrides your interest. Anyway, please do not give up even if you don’t perform well in HKDSE. There are many other channels that can lead you to a fruitful future. It is worth grabbing this chance, isn’t it?

当年文凭试放榜那种晴天霹雳的感觉，真是一生难忘。以我的成绩，升上大学的机会只有一半。於是，我上网搜寻提供副学士课程的院校。起初我并无注意到港大附属学院，但当向师长、友人查询时，他们不约而同地推介这学院。於是我便报读了港大附属学院。 刚开始时，我对学院各方面都相当陌生。幸好，学院有完善的配套去支援学生，讲师都关心我们。虽然对部分同学来说，学院的课程或会较艰深，但只要我们主动寻求协助，讲师都会乐意为同学解决疑难，助同学跟上进度，打好基础。除此之外，学院理科的课程经过悉心编排，配合实验课，让我们掌握相关的技巧 。 入读学院之后我再次反思自己的兴趣，认清人生目标，很快适应大学的上课模式及校园生活，可谓获益良多。 其实，以前我不敢奢望能够升上香港大学。所以，在港大附属学院读书，只要肯下定决心，奋发向上，绝对会有意想不到的结果！

失望和迷茫最适合形容我放榜时的心情，我选择了港大附属学院，因为中学老师都说港大附属学院师资优良，升学率高，特别是升读我梦想的学系－香港大学理学系。港大附属学院细心的课程编排，讲师的悉心教导，都令我对理学产生浓厚兴趣。多问、多假设、多练习，是我在学院领略到的心法。同时，学院丰富了我的人际关係，好些同学成了挚友，讲师也成了我的人生导师。我由衷的感谢港大附属学院，一个令我成长、实现梦想的地方。

虽然联招结果不理想，可是我从来没有放弃进大学的梦想。因为HKU SPACE CC升读资助大学学士学位机会比较高，所以公开试放榜后就立即报名。读了一年的建筑学高级文凭，发现自己对这科目兴趣不大，就转读了理学副学士，并决心一年后升读大学。在这两年，我学会很多，而且变得更加坚强，即使遇到挫折也不轻易言败，认清自己的目标及方向后，便更努力前进。衷心感谢HKU SPACE CC所有讲师，以及曾经帮助我实现梦想的朋友。
