Offer accepted: HKUST Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science
After two years of study in Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme, I am really happy that I have finally received conditional offers from local universities. Eventually, I have chosen the offer of BEng in Computer Science from HKUST. The life in HKU SPACE CC is unforgettable. Below comes my experience of study in HD IT that I would like to share with you. First of all, be concentrated in the lectures. You should always remember your goal and do the right thing at the right time. Try to catch up with the lecturer's steps during the lecture. If you successfully do that, it will save you a lot of time in studying. More importantly, make a revision after every lecture. You may understand the materials well in the lecture, but you may forget everything if you make no revision. Studying should be treated as a daily routine. So, get into habit of studying. Also, try to get familiar with Google. Do not expect that you can learn everything from the lecturer during the lecture. Lecturers cannot teach you all the knowledge. “Give you a fish and you can eat for a day. Teach you to fish and you can eat for a lifetime.” Bear in mind that what we learn from the lecturers is how to fish. Do not bury your curiosity. Always strive to find out the reason behind the theory. “Chase excellence, success will follow.” Excellence is not only knowing what the things did, but knowing how and why they did. You should consult your lecturer if you have any confusion. If you are not comfortable to do so in front of the whole class, you could consider using E-mail. As the old saying goes: “Never give up”, it sounds preaching but it is truly real. If you give up, you will definitely have no chance. Certain percents of something is better than one hundred percents of nothing. So keep in your mind that miracle can only occur if you do not give up. The final thing that I would like to remind is that “Man proposes, but God disposes”. It is more than enough to do your best. Do not put too much pressure on yourself. Always remember that academic study is not the only thing in your life. Good luck.

Everyone has a dream of studying in university. Unfortunately, I failed my HKDSE. After receiving my HKDSE result, I didn’t know where I should go at that time. Thankfully, I got into HKU SPACE CC and gained a lot from the Higher Diploma in Information Technology (HD IT) programme. During these two years, I learnt a lot from my lecturers and friends; not only academically, but also life experience. Lecturers would kindly share their experiences to us, especially work experience and their stories. They would offer a helping hand when we are facing problems. Besides, friendship is also an important treasure you will get here. Happiness and sadness should be shared with your friends. For me, I got a low GPA in semester one. Fortunately, my friends and lecturers supported me and encouraged me to put more effort in my study. Now, I am striving for CCENT in the coming year. HD IT is about different domains of information technology, and I have chosen networking as my major subject. In the networking stream, lecturers taught us networking step-by-step. For hands-on experiments, we can use routers, switches and other network devices to practise our skill in controlling them. Frankly, it is interesting for us to control the network by our hands and knowledge. I can still remember the satisfaction of making the network function. Apart from academic life, HKU SPACE CC provided many chances to improve my CV. I was selected to participate into the 10th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition last year and awarded with merit. This competition has widened my horizons and expanded my resume, which is very useful for my future career. Last but not least, I am proud of being a student of Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme. Studying in HKU SPACE CC is not just only to learn knowledge, but also to bring a lot of unforgettable memories and make friends, who can fight for the goal together. Now, I am admitted to the Department of Computer Science at HKUST for my further study successfully.

It is hard to forget the bad days after releasing of HKDSE results. Eventually, I decided to study in the Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme at HKU SPACE CC. It definitely was a stepping stone for me to enter the university. The lecturers were very much willing to help us, which made me feel hopeful. They were teachers with heart and we could feel every lecture was delivered with full devotion. They conducted lessons with absolute verbal clarity, and they were so friendly that we did not feel embarrassed to ask them questions when we had difficulties. Also, they guided us to get ourselves familiarized with all kinds of network equipment in the laboratory. All in all, studying in CC was an extremely valuable experience. After lectures, they offered us information about admission to university and taught us how to perform well in interviews. As an IT student in the networking stream, I learned a lot of professional knowledge about CCNA and CCNP. I learned how to configure the routers and switches through different kinds of network protocols and cables. Also, all students had the opportunity to implement these protocols on real professional equipment. HKU SPACE CC provides us a lot of opportunities to enrich our profile. For instance, I was a helper in the admission day and I was recommended to participate in the Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition. These experiences are very useful to help us to be approved by the university. In summary, I am grateful to the lecturers and I find myself fortunate to have studied in this college and related programme. Although this articulation route is a bit longer than others, I entered UGC-funded university and regained confidence eventually.

Studying in HKU SPACE CC has definitely been a valuable experience. It has not only equipped me with knowledge, but also prepared me with the mentality to be a university student. Time-management, problem-solving, and presentation skills can be enhanced, and most importantly, I have developed different perspectives when commentating on social issues. I am so thankful to meet the lecturers in the Social Sciences Domain; they are really helpful and considerate.

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。

2012年商业学高级文凭(市场学及管理)
回想起两年间,从失望到迷茫,再重整心情、努力奋斗,最终达成自己定下的目标。最初,只是因为对市场学感兴趣而选择修读。但是,在修读途中却意外地有更多的得着,除了可以实践理论、学以致用、发挥潜能外,透过专题研习更能加强沟通和与人合作的能力。当中毕业计划书更是和组员用一整年的时间,由零开始,花了不少心血而完成的。 在港大附属学院读书,少不免遇上大大小小的困难,甚至会感到低落。不过,在这两年期间,从讲师、社工以及同学的身上,我明白到,每一段经歷的发生都有原因,每一项挑战都能带来丰富的得着。 感谢学院的栽培,令我的大学梦最终成真。追梦的过程虽然辛苦,但是只要相信和坚持,你,其实会比想像中得到更多。 只要付出努力,同学的收穫可能比我的更为精彩。
