After my HKDSE exam in 2013, I chose to continue pursuing my interest in aviation studies and thus applied to the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies (HDAS) programme at HKU SPACE CC. In this two-year higher diploma course at HKU SPACE CC, opportunities were provided to us to learn more about the industry, through local site visits and overseas trips. In 2014, the aviation programme team organised a trip to the Singapore Airshow to provide enhanced opportunities. During the event, we had an amazing time watching the flying and static displays of lots of aircraft. It was also most enjoyable having briefings and discussions with experts we met at the booths, like those from Boeing, Airbus, Royce Rolls, Jeppesen and also interacting some air force military personnel from different countries. Apart from the airshow, we visited the CAE Singapore, to have an idea of how they train their pilots and to obtain a better understanding of the facilities that can assist their cadet pilots in skills development during training. We had a talk with the tutors teaching Aeronautical Engineering at Singapore Institute of Technology and toured the campus to see what their students actually learn in their courses at the institute. In 2015, the programme team organised another trip for us to Seoul, South Korea to join the Asia-Pacific Aviation Education and Training Symposium (AAETS). In this particular event, we met lots of professionals from the industry, who are working on aviation education, airline training and even working for International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). We made lots of new friends through the symposium and we still keep in touch with them as hey have fortunately become our mentors in our aviation studies. During the trip, we also had a Junior Airport Management Course at Incheon Airport Aviation Academy, we visited the airside of Incheon airport and the maintenance hangers of Asiana Airlines, to understand more about the development of this location and how they concentrate their efforts on building new eco-friendly terminals and hangers at the airport. My 2-year HDAS study provided me with numerous opportunities to learn practical aviation knowledge and up-to-date information which better equips me to join the field in the future. We had local visits at Heliservices and Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department; internship programmes provided by various airlines and ground handling agents at Hong Kong International Airport. Throughout the internship and local visits, I can implement what I have and have a more holistic understanding of how the theories I learnt from lectures actually apply in daily airline operations and management. Moreover, as most of our lecturers are currently working in the industry, we can always get the latest industrial information and knowledge for our learning from them. After graduated from HDAS in 2015, I decided to have a gap year for half and a year before going to Brisbane, Australia for my bachelor degree. I applied to Hong Kong Airport Services Ltd. and became a Load Control Officer handling Cathay Pacific Airways’ passenger flights. I used the load control knowledge I learnt from my lectures back into my daily work, and the knowledge helped me to fit into my work quickly as the theories I learnt from college and job training are totally the same. I really feel grateful for meeting lots of experts from the industry, they taught us lots of updated information and knowledge for joining and fitting into the industry workforce. Now, at the moment I am typing this article, I have already arrived Brisbane and ready to start my degree study in Aviation Management at Griffith University. I received credit exemption based on the credits I got in my HDAS study and it takes only half and a year, which is half of the full degree duration, to get my bachelor degree and graduate. I am looking forward to enjoy my new life in Brisbane, know more aviators around the world and learn from each other, and the most important is, use the knowledge I will learn to contribute to Hong Kong aviation industry. 查看详情

Through Architecture, I want to express myself in a more interesting way. Architecture has always been a self-motivated discipline that demands great determination. Thus, it is undoubtedly a lifelong challenge to learn Architecture. While I found myself disappointed with the JUPAS result, HKU SPACE CC offered me an opportunity to rediscover my journey. The Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies is a well-organized programme that provides all-round training for its students. It encourages the balance between 3-D designs and design resolutions, the exploration in historic and cultural contexts, as well as applications in the local practical field. In addition, witnessing is always one of the best ways to understand Architecture. A field trip will be arranged every year for students to interact with award-winning architects. In this way, students will also develop and sharpen their judgment while appreciating an array of masterpieces. You will surely learn the attitude required to pursue a career in this competitive field by participating in the numerous job placements posted by the department every summer.  With a high level of autonomy, I was able to express my ideas through different media and in-depth research. Also, my work stayed consistent through cross-related modules in the programme. Taking full control over my projects, these two years of valuable self-learning experience taught me to be a disciplined learner. More importantly, the 2-year programme enriched my portfolio with a collection of projects, with a scale ranging from delicate installations, public pavilions, to large museums. Having equipped with a solid base in design, I was able to further pursue my study for BA (Hons) in Architecture at the Oxford Brookes University. Whether you would like to practise in the field or continue to study, this programme will certainly equip yourself with everything you need to achieve your goals. Trust your instincts and never let go of what you want to do. The Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies programme at HKU SPACE CC might be another option to understand your powers and limits. Step out of your comfort zone and explore yourself. To fellow students who are in pursuit of Architecture, I wish you all success in your future! 查看详情
