BSocSc Asian and International Studies, City University of Hong Kong
The aviation industry became my interest after I have played a computer game about air traffic control when I was around Secondary 4. Being an air traffic controller became my dream job afterwards and getting inadequate results in the public examination did not make me give up. This programme provided a lot of opportunities for me to enrich my knowledge and experiences throughout this two fruitful years. These foundations drove me to continue my academic path at the City University of Hong Kong.
This programme had given me a chance to take part in the Singapore Airshow, one of the biggest airshow in Asia. These airshows are not generally opened to the general public, especially to students like me. However, I can attend the trade day of the Airshow as a participant from the aviation industry. Moreover, the programme had also provided me an opportunity to work in the Hong Kong Aviation Ground Services Limited, which allowed me to join and contribute to the industry.
Let your dreams take off from here and make them come true.

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.

Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies is a nice programme. It covered different aspects in Aviation and helped me understand the operations of the aviation industry. The wide spectrum of learning activities including internship programme, study tours and aviation industry visits broadened our horizon and exposure beyond the textbooks. Graduates of this programme might articulate to the bachelor degree programme offered by Swinburne University of Technology.

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.

Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Aviation Operations and Systems, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Two years ago, when I received my DSE result, I chose to study a Higher Diploma programme as I didn’t received any offer for a bachelor’s degree programme. I had no idea about aviation before I took up the studies. I chose this programme because of a simple reason. I love travelling! Now, I can say that I’m glad I’ve made the right decision.
At HKU SPACE CC, I have learned a lot of aviation knowledge such as basic aeronautical knowledge, airlines business and management, cargo and customer services, airport and airline operations and safety in the aviation industry. Those knowledge are useful for my future as I am going to work in the aviation industry. The most special thing about Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies at HKU SPACE CC is that all of the lecturers are working in the industry. They are all from different aviation companies or organisations such as Airport Authority, HKCAD. They always share their working experience with us so that we can have a better understanding of the industry.
Besides studying in the class, this programme provided a lot of opportunities of study trips experiences. During my two years of school life, I have joined three study trips to Zhuhai airshow, Singapore airshow and Korea Incheon Airport Academy. They exposed me to the knowledge that we couldn’t learn from books. Those are my best memories at HKU SPACE CC.
In 2018, I had the honour to participate in the one-year internship programme at Cathay Pacific to be a customer service officer at the airport. Working at the airport not only allowed me to apply what I have learned at the College but also exposed me to real-life experiences as a customer services officer, which included communicating with people from around the world. Those experiences helped me better equip myself for future career.
Although I have already graduated from HKU SPACE CC, I still keep in touch with the programme team and lecturers of the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies. For me, HDAS is a big family. I have made a lot of good friends here.

2017 Flight Attendant, Hong Kong Airlines
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.
