2018 Year 2, Higher Diploma in Airline and Airport Services
Studying aviation has always been my dream as I would like to know more about the aviation industry. I started off with studying Applied Learning in Aviation during my high school years. After HKDSE, I continued to study the Higher Diploma in Airline and Airport service at HKU SPACE CC.
In this programme, I got opportunities to experience different things such as the overseas study trips. In the Singapore Airshow study trip, I gained more knowledge about the aviation industry. I got an amazing opportunity to meet with the Air Hostess of Air Baltic and asked her about her experience and road map for achieving my goal to be an Air Hostess. She suggested that I should work on my communication skills and my customer service skills. Overall, it was a mind-boggling experience for me.
Moreover, in the Australia Aviation study trip, I got a great opportunity to experience practical flying and attended lectures at the Swinburne University of Technology. In addition, I also visited the National Aviation Museum and the QANTAS Flight Training Center. All these experiences motivated me to study hard and achieve my dreams. HDAAS programme provided all the experience and education required to become a Flight Attendant, enabling me to explore more about the aviation industry.

Most people do not understand about aviation industry and believe that this industry is only related to flight attendants, pilots and ground staff. In fact, there are many other specialists in this industry apart from what you imagine. If you have ever read a book called “Moments of Truth” by Jan Carlzon or have explored this industry on your own, you will know how professional this industry is.
Throughout the two-year study at HKU SPACE CC, the programme has enriched my aeronautical knowledge in every single aspect of the industry. Ranging from fundamental introduction to specific technical knowledge, a lot of areas have been covered in this programme. For example, the course syllabus of Aircraft Weight Balance and Dispatch is derived from the Jardine Aviation Services training materials, which has enhanced my knowledge in specific aviation profession. To sum up, all materials covered in this programme not only focus on theories, but also the practical aspect, which provide me with essential knowledge and skills.
On the other hand, I joined several study trips during my study at HKU SPACE CC. The most remarkable trip was the Singapore one. The Singapore Airshow is one of the most famous airshows in the world. It hosts high-level government and military delegations, as well as senior corporate executives around the world while serving as a global event for leading aerospace companies and budding players to make their mark in the international aerospace and defense market. This event was amazing, not only because of those real jets displayed but also the aerobatic flight performance. If you like aircraft, especially military one or the one who like chatting with aviation specialists from different sectors (Business, Civil or Military), here is where you must come.
This programme, I believe is an essential path to both academic achievements and successful career goals, and there is still a long way for me to go on. I truly believe that the future is in our hands. Only through strengthening my convictions can I motivate myself to strive for excellence and pursue my dream in the aviation industry.

Studying Aviation Studies (Operation Stream) as my specialism at HKU SPACE CC has strengthened my interest and career goal in aviation management. The elementary aviation course equipped me with basic aviation knowledge. With a strong interest in applying concepts and theories to real situations, I joined an internship programme as a Customer Services Officer in Hong Kong Aviation Ground Services Limited (HAGSL) in the summer of 2017. I performed ground handling services at Hong Kong International Airport, including boarding gate and arrival duties, which broadened my knowledge of ground service handling in airports. I also participated in the Incheon Airport Aviation Academy – Junior Airport Management Course, where I learned about the trends of aviation business worldwide, airport operations at Incheon airport, and visited the airside. Additionally, I joined study tours to Singapore and Australia, which allowed me to explore different cultures, foods, people, and transport etc. One of the unforgettable moments was my flying experience with a Cessna 172 at Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne, Australia. I remember that the weather was rainy in the morning, and I was worried that I would be unable to fly. Sometimes, the sky is unpredictable, but it turned out that I was able to fly the plane with a stunning sunset!
After my remarkable two-year Higher Diploma study in HKU SPACE CC, I realized that I made the right choice!

Our education system is hardly a one-fits-all solution for everyone. I remember the moment when I failed in HKDSE, I started to doubt, "Am I suitable for pursuing further academic studies?"
The two-year studies, plus the overseas experience, did more than building up our solid foundations in the aviation industry. As we
studied further, we learnt to be critical and became more mature. Eventually, we were able to develop a mindset which greatly helped us plan for our own future.
Assessment of the programme ranged from flight and airline simulations to internship programmes. We were assessed comprehensively, and critically, which motivated us to keep reviewing and exploring.
Learning is no longer limited to lectures and the given materials. With the scholarships provided by CC, we could participate in overseas programmes to explore the industry with a global vision. We became more competitive and well-equipped when we graduated.

The two-year life here has helped me develop my interest and discover what I want. The lecturers were always willing to give a helping hand to us and explained to us patiently when we did not understand anything. The knowledge I learned here is very useful for my further study in the university which makes my studies easier and more effective.

When I first studied this programme, I was lost and couldn’t find my path in the future. After two years of study, I knew that I gained a lot from the programme.
This programme allowed me to join various activities. I was fortunate to be given a chance to attend study trips to airshows, conferences and training. We had the opportunities to communicate with the experts in aviation, to have a closer look at all kinds of aircraft and aviation technologies. Apart from learning, the college also arranged sightseeing sessions during the trip. I did have fun and enjoyed participating in these activities, which enhanced my interest in aviation and the bonding between classmates. It was also beneficial to our personal development by gaining exposure from different cultures outside of Hong Kong.
Besides academic activities, the programme team also arranged some extra-curricular events like orientation camp, fellowship dinner and barbecue party for current students and alumni. You may even have a chance to organise an event on your own, from planning to implementation. This programme offers opportunities for you to let your creative juices flow and enables you to put what you have learnt to good use.
Remember, every end is a new beginning.
