Ho Man Yui, Ryan Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) in International Shipping and Transport Logistics

If you never try, you will never know. Aviation is a fantastic industry. There are lots of opportunities, and if you take every chance, you will enrich your knowledge and widen your horizon. After studying the Aviation Studies programme at HKU SPACE Community College, I could learn different aspects of the industry, for example airport operations, aviation business, aircraft weight, and balance and dispatch, to name but a few. Those subjects provide a great chance for me to know more about this industry and get solid experience. Apart from knowledge, internship is a rare opportunity for students, and the College has provided several internships with different airlines. I still remember when the internship at Cathay Pacific was offered, I was hesitating for a while, because I was afraid that I was not competent for this job. However, my friends encouraged me to join this internship, and it was a good chance for me to affirm my capability. Although I worked for one year only, I felt care and warmth in this programme. Everyone, especially the staff and mentors, took care of us all the time. During the internship, I not only learned about knowledge, but also building relationships with different people and interacting with others. I hope everyone who loves aviation or aircraft can join this programme. It should be a wonderful experience for you. Exploring and developing yourself: remember that, if you never try to do it, you will never know whether you’ll succeed or not. 查看详情

Cheung Wui Tim, Samuel 2012-14 Associate of Arts (English Studies)

HKU SPACE CC has enabled me to achieve my goal of entering university, because teachers in HKU SPACE CC were willing to help with my learning, and SDCS equipped me with important knowledge of non-JUPAS applications. When I came across any questions about lecture concepts, I asked my teachers after lessons or by email. Their willingness to address my queries helped me to understand the concepts more clearly and to digest such concepts more effectively. They also offered me clear guidance on developing my assignments in the right direction. Regarding further studies activities organised by SDCS, I benefited from an information session on ‘local study opportunities’, a sharing session on ‘successful university applications’, workshops on ‘choosing a university and writing a personal statement’ and ‘effective interview skills for university applications and mock interviews for university admission’, as well as an briefing session by an individual university/programme. I learnt important strategies for non-JUPAS applications and related interview skills after participating in these activities. Moreover, during individual counselling, counsellors solved my questions about university applications, and taught me stress management skills. In short, HKU SPACE CC has made my dream of entering university come true, with helpful teachers and support for non-JUPAS applications. 查看详情

2 years of adventure at HKU SPACE CC was rewarding and terrific! One’s triumph only comes after acquiring a positive attitude, staying conscious and having good work ethic. Teachers at HKU SPACE CC are the lighthouse in the middle of the sea, they guide us, students, to those mentioned qualities with heart and passion; whenever we have questions on studies, we are given sincere help and useful methods to deal with them. On top of that, we are driven to achieve and explore our potentials. The Division of English offers a wide range of activities to students so they can learn and practice their English outside the classroom. The annual English Singing Contest and Speech Competition are just two examples. Students who are either afraid of public speaking or only need the stage to shine are given a chance to explore their potentials. It is not solely about the result, but the process of overcoming hurdles, and knowing what our strongest suits are. In HKU SPACE CC, we are taught strong values and have the right mentality we need, so that we would not shy away when the opportunity arises. 查看详情

Hung Chun Ho, Oscar 2015-16 Diploma in Foundation Studies

In 2015, I was in the watershed of my life, followed by my failure in the HKDSE. I was lucky enough to earn a chance to study for the Diploma in Foundation Studies (DFS). It turns out that my experience studying for the DFS is very different from my old days in secondary school. The emphasis on continuous assessment means that our performance is assessed in an all-round manner, and this eases off my exam stress. The multi-disciplinary nature of the curriculum also opened my eyes to new academic disciplines which I did not encounter at the high school level. This 1-year programme let me re-built my confidence in Science, and put me back on track to pursue further studies in this area when I promoted to the Associate of Science programme. I’m convinced I made the right choice studying for the DFS. 查看详情

CHAN Pak Yui, Floyd Flight Dispatch Officer, Cathay Pacific Airways

Throughout my two-year study in HDAS, I gained numerous professional knowledge, including Basic Aeronautical Knowledge, Safety Management & Risk Assessment, Human Factors & Performance, and Aircraft Weight & Balance and Dispatch. All of the lectures were delivered by local experts who have worked in the industry for a number of decades. Not only did they explain those theories in detail, but they also shared their valuable work experiences and insights into aviation developments during classes. Aside from classroom teaching, the programme offered various activities to broaden our horizons locally and globally in the aviation field. To name a few, I attended the Trade Day of the Airshow to enjoy aerobatic performances and talk to key people from leading industrial enterprises like Airbus and Boeing. I also attended international conferences to listen to the latest and future developments in the field. I experienced a Trial Instructional Flight on a Cessna 152. Last but certainly not least, I enrolled in the Internship programme to become a frontline ground handling agent to perform check-in, boarding gate and arrival duties in the airport. The HDAS programme has equipped me with essential skills and a worldwide perspective on the aviation industry. Even after joining the local flagship carrier, I still find what I learned and experienced in HDAS useful in my career. As a graduate, I have no doubt that HDAS is the right choice to get yourself well-prepared and pave your way to enter this challenging but fascinating industry. 查看详情
