The training in HKU SPACE CC has equipped me with the translation knowledge and interpreting skills that facilitate my current study. Because of the practical translation training in HDTRA, I am now capable of translating materials with the good use of translation theories within a limited time.

It was such a bittersweet experience studying in HKU SPACE CC. As a freshman, I decided not to participate in any ECAs as I wanted to to focus solely on my study. I suffered psychologically and physically, and I could not taste the joy of learning. My fear of failing overwhelmed me. On my teachers’ advice, I balance my life by planning my study schedule and time to relax. I learn to utilize the CC resources about university requirements and graduates' records to prepare for the non - jupas application. It is not a miracle that I could finally achieve my goal – entering HKU, it is the effort that paid off. Chances will only be given to those who are well prepared!

I enjoy studying translation in the college because I can learn sufficient theories and practise a lot in translation. Learning to translate both the text and its underlying cultural information, I can now translate texts more properly and thoroughly. My passion for interpretation is also awakened and I have become more aware of the two languages used in daily life. After the two-year study of translation, I am determined to explore more about this field in the future.

After studying in HKU SPACE CC for two years, I found that although my DSE result was not good enough to apply for university, I was definitely not a failure. I failed my HKDSE Chinese subject so I continued my study in HKU SPACE CC, where I learnt much more knowledge and practical skills than my friends who were studying in university. When they were learning mathematics which were not required in daily life or workplace, and were attending many courses that are unrelated from their majors, I had already built a solid foundation in the knowledge of coding, database, system, networking and security. When I turned on my laptop, I felt like I had become a professional because since I could really apply what I learnt in the lectures. It gave me a sense that I was really learning something useful. If I passed the DSE and studied in university, I might still be studying theories and mathematics and could do nothing in front of a computer. Without practical skills, I would be absolutely worried about my career. Studying in HKU SPACE CC was really a turning point in my life.
Apart from this, most universities tend to require students to study engineering for one year before choosing the majors, which means we have to spend one year learning something unrelated to our majors, even if we are not good at or interest at them. If we cannot achieve high marks in those courses, we will not be able to choose the desired majors in year 2. Instead, HKU SPACE CC offers higher diploma programmes which we can directly choose our preferred subjects. For example, I plan to work in the IT field and so I applied for the Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme. What I learnt were all related to IT. After finishing the programme, students can continue studies at university if they achieve a good GPA. In another words, students do not have to study that “risky” year 1 in university. Instead, they can choose to study for 2 years in HKU SPACE CC. You can even apply for admission to senior years at a university after completing a higher diploma programme. As competition in higher diploma programmes tends to be lower, it may be easier to achieve good GPA. Last but not least, all lecturers I met were experienced and were willing to help and share with us their precious experience, which were definitely helpful to our career planning. Do not hesitate to talk with the teachers and enjoy the advantage of studying in HKU SPACE CC!
