In the past year, HKU SPACE CC offered me sufficient learning opportunities. The library and computer centre let me learn more efficiently. Even though I was not an active learner, my lecturers still encouraged me to study. My classmates assisted me in solving academic issues because we all had a mutual target university admission. The failure in HKDSE was just a part of the learning progress. The associate degree gives you another chance for compensation.

The teachers in HKU SPACE CC and HKU are friendly. They were willing to answer my questions patiently. Also, the summer bridging course is very helpful for my study. I appreciate it!

About the tips in studying, it is crucial to make friends and form study groups. Friends will give you emotional support. During the pandemic year, all courses were taught through Zoom. I felt afraid and lost at that moment. Luckily, my friend encouraged me and studied with me every day. Eventually, my friend and I got high GPA that semester!

In HKU SPACE CC, I sought help form lecturers whenever I didn’t understand the concepts taught, both face to face after lesson time or through email . So, don’t be shy when you have questions. I kept doing revision on the lecture materials after every lesson and therefore it didn’t take me much time to study before the exam. Good luck and hope you have a pleasant experience in HKU SPACE CC.

During my study at HKU SPACE CC, I met many friends of different backgrounds . At first, I was nervous at learning new subjects, I overcame the difficulties with the help from my friends and college lecturers. The key of success was studying hard, putting more effort on doing homework and past papers.

It was wonderful to be a student at HKU SPACE CC. The Science Division in HKU SPACE CC offered us a precious chance to get first-hand experience at HKU. We were able to learn, study and do experiments in a large-scale university. Not only did this provide me with the exposure to one of the best universities, but also helped me to familiarize myself with the university style of education for the future. During my two years at CC, I felt the warmest encouragement from my teachers. They provided all we needed to get into a university, from guidance and reference letters to emotional support. I am very grateful and highly recommend my fellow peers who love science to choose CC. If I were given another opportunity to choose again, my choice of HKU SPACE CC would undoubtedly remain unchanged.  

It has been an amazing journey studying at HKU SPACE CC. 

During my time here, I gained first-hand experiences of doing different experiments, such as plant tissue culture and mapping DNA using electrophoresis. These experiences not just strengthened my knowledge of biological sciences but made me a better candidate when applying for universities. When we were in year 2, we studied science courses offered at HKU together with the university students. It was a precious opportunity since we could directly learn from some of the best teachers in Hong Kong. Also, our social networks and horizons were broadened, which are beneficial to our future studies. Academic and mental support were provided by teachers at CC, and we received many heart-warming messages from our teachers to help us release our pressure. If you are passionate about science and want to learn from the best, do not hesitate to apply. 

Studying at HKU SPACE CC has allowed me to look at my academic life in a more holistic view and allowed me to explore what I would really like to study.

Lecturers in HKU SPACE CC are definitely caring and patient. With the guidance and support from the teachers, I have built up a better foundation and have prepared well for my future study.

Apart from equipping students well knowledge in the field of science, this programme provides us a chance to prepare ourselves for future university life. Even if one’s HKDSE results may not be desirable, there are many other channels that can lead you to a fruitful future. The lecturers are professional, supportive and caring. They are willing to help us in all aspects of academics, and the notes provided are carefully selected and tailored for the students. As such, this encourages us to learn and break any learning boundaries. HKU SPACE CC offers students a good platform to explore and learn outside the classroom. The inter-disciplinary learning appeals to students as it allows students from different majors to exchange ideas from their own subjects. This facilitates a deeper discussion of topics and unique perspectives on problems and concepts. Be brave, gentle and sincere in CC, and you will reach your goals eventually.

I received offers from both HKU SPACE CC and another community college, and got into a dilemma of choosing either one of them. Providentially, I decided to study in HKU SPACE CC, and that should be a right choice. Almost all lecturers in HKU SPACE CC were very patient. The lecturers gave us clear instructions and were very attentive to our study. They helped us understand every topic. Not only did they help us to get a high grade in the courses, they wanted us to get something useful for our future studies. HKU SPACE CC lecturers prepared everything for us. What we needed to do was to work hard so that we would not disappoint our lecturers for their efforts and sincere teaching. Besides, I’ve made a lot of friends in HKU SPACE CC. I considered them as study partners and buddies as we supported each other. I enjoyed my study in HKU SPACE CC, where there was pleasant learning atmosphere.

I chose HKU SPACE CC because it provided a high chance for students to enter into universities. Apart from the good learning and study atmosphere in HKU SPACE CC, I actually learnt a lot with the guidance of the teachers. Every lesson in CC ensured that students could learn something which they had missed in secondary school.

Besides, I appreciate teachers' patience a lot for their quick responses to students' questions.

Activities organised by the College also enriched students' college life. They were very different from the events organised when we were in secondary school.

I hope that all of you will obtain excellent GPA in HKU SPACE CC and find your way to go!!

Choosing to study in HKU SPACE CC is a decision that I have never thought of before. I received an offer from JUPAS but I determined to study in HKU SPACE CC. It was obviously the toughest decision that I have made in my life, and the most significant one at the same time.

The lecturers in HKU SPACE CC have top academic qualifications. They don’t simply provide us with knowledge, they also care about our future pathway and learning progress. In ASc programme, we were exposed to extensive hands-on practical experiences which strengthened our knowledge. Apart from the specialism courses, the generic courses have shaped myself into an all-rounded person. More importantly, acquiring knowledge in CC is not only about memorizing answers but understanding the important concepts. CC is a place for you to search for your goals and future pathway, which all of you can achieve what you want by your own way.

當初選擇HKU SPACE CC的原因是希望能升上三大，而SPACE CC亦是最多人能升上三大。我只是因為中文未及格而升不上八大。雖然我只有一年經驗，但當中也學到不少，印象最深刻的是chemistry和statistics課堂，想不到chemistry也能夠那麼有趣，而statistics亦令我對數學更感興趣。祝大家早早從太空升上八大。

After I received my DSE results, I was so disappointed because I could not pursue my dream anymore as I couldn’t identify a school which provided the science subject I wanted. One day, when I searched for that kind of school, I found HKU SPACE CC. I chose to study in HKU SPACE CC because it provided a chance for me to learn science and they had high articulation rate to universities. On the first school day, I was very shy and worried about whether teachers were willing to answer my questions. Surprisingly, during the class, my teachers encouraged us to ask questions and did practices. Through reading the recommended reference books and raising questions, I understood more about the subject I studied. I also made some friends who worked hard. We studied together and helped each other. HKU SPACE CC is like a family. I hope that you can enjoy your life here and get into a university.

I wanted to learn from the best and that's why I chose HKU SPACE CC to prepare myself for university studies. I tried my best in every subject because I had to fight for my future. People may worry that science subjects are difficult but I think the most important factor is enthusiasm. Your ardor will encourage you to overcome the challenges. Lecturers in HKU SPACE CC are kind and caring. They will always be there when you need support. Remember, DSE is just a part of life, which is not the end but a new beginning.

Trust me. You would be grateful to study here before studying a degree. Here, you will study courses that are similar to the ones you will study in a bachelor’s degree. Teachers in HKU SPACE CC will ensure you really understand the things taught in class. After class, you may email lecturers for any problems. They are so nice and patient. You will build up better foundation and be well prepared before studying a degree (competition is really keen in degree studies). I'm sure you will all do a great job here. Wish you all the best!

太空就好像一個大家庭，同學之間互相扶持，老師亦會給予很多支持。老師耐心的教 學與中學的是完全沒得比，我上堂經常問很多問題，他們都不厭其煩地解答。這裏 給了我很多鼓勵，提供了一個機會，讓我挽回在中學裡犯過最大的錯誤。現在我能夠 再上征途，全因為太空讓我重拾信心。還記得上年暑假，我完全沒想過自己能走到今 日，如果你願意，或許下一個就會是你。

After secondary education, I felt frustrated in study and was confused with future career path. I chose to study Associate of Science programme in HKU SPACE CC since the College allowed me to choose to study in two main areas: Biology and Chemistry that I was interested in so that I gained a firm foundation for further study. Studying in the College is a rewarding journey.

It further develops my passion for food science. The College provided me with a platform to explore and pursue my dream. Learning resources are plentiful. College lecturers’ dedication and enthusiasm for teaching motivated my study a lot. By seeking advice from lecturers and counsellors, I overcame academic challenges. Apart from that, meeting new study partners made my school life more delightful. Career talks and interview workshops have equipped me with crucial skills for preparation for future study and career.

How much effort you paid, how well the result you will get! Just fights for your dream. Lectures in HKU SPACE Community College are all very nice and they are willing to help you and give you suggestions. Work hard and REMEMBER to read reference books about the chapters being taught.

In the DSE, my result was not satisfactory, so no offers were given in the JUPAS. I decided to choose HKU SPACE CC to further study because the chance of getting into the HKU is higher. Also, the science subjects are quite outstanding among all the community colleges. At first, I found it a bit stressed and hard since people around me were quite diligent and ambitious, and the syllabus was in a completely advanced level. Much time was put to catch up and adapt the new environment than expected. However, all would be overcome after the first 2 months, and everything would be on the right track.

Work hard is the basic element while work smart is more important. Don't let the same stone stumble you twice. We have to know why we failed in DSE/any exam taken, and try a new study method with the change in study mode in HKU SPACE CC. What's more, be open to any subjects you have to study and try to enjoy it. Do what you love, love what you do. Once you choose this way (studying in HKUSPACE CC), do your best and make no regrets!

Despite my HKALE grades not being what I hoped it would be, I continued to study what I was interested at HKU SPACE CC, and I was not disappointed. To be honest, I had no great reasons to study at HKU SPACE CC. All I knew was that it will enable me to continue my studies. However, now I can say that studying at HKU SPACE CC has been a great experience. Not only I was able to continue my studies but also I was able to get to know individuals from different backgrounds during my studies. Most importantly, by studying at HKU SPACE CC, I was able to get into a local university.

在HKDSE放榜時，我見到自己的成績，徬徨之外，我也想不出有甚麼形容詞描述當時的心情，我知道自己升大學無望，又不知出路如何。聽友人介紹副學士，而且以理學學系來說，港大附屬學院最好，升學率亦高，既然無路可走，我只好硬著頭皮地報讀了。 開始時自己跟不上學習進度，不少課程的難度比高中更難，幸好學院的講師抽空指導我，而且還很有耐性地解釋每個重點，自己再每日溫習，最後用了一年時間便升上自己理想的大學。雖然學院的課程比較難，但不無好處，除了補充在中學學不了的知識外，當升上大學後，會更容易跟上大學的課程。 縱使有人說讀副學士是沒出路，但回頭望，我覺得港大附屬學院是我人生的里程碑，為我升讀大學前作最佳準備。

港大附屬學院擁有優良師資。講師教學認真，還主動關心學生。培養學生各方面的興趣，為升學或就業做好準備。 理科的課程經過悉心編排，即使內容較深，但也為大學的學習打下穩固的根基。在二年級時，部份理科的科目，需要到香港大學與港大學生一起上課，這讓我們體驗到大學的上課模式，也能嘗試大學的生活。最難能可貴的是我們能夠使用香港大學的資源。我們可以到大學圖書館借閱參考書和閱讀不少學術論文，對學習真有莫大裨益。 除了學習外，學院更悉心安排不少升學就業講座，即使學生成績各異，我們也能夠早日認清自己的路向。要成功考獲大學取錄，除了有優異成績，面試技巧也相當重要；學院提供不少有關大學面試的資訊，包括歷屆學兄學姊的面試心得和題目，這讓我們在面試時更能得心應手。 在港大附屬學院讀書，讓你體會到「先苦後甜」的道理，雖然競爭大，但辛苦後得到的收獲總是叫人再三回味的！

港大附屬學院關注學生的升學、就業及多元化發展。這裡有關升學和就業的資訊及輔導十分充足，幫助我們找到自己的目標。而且課程多元化，讓學生接觸不同範疇的知識，增廣見聞。 雖然生命科學的課程較深，但勝在與大學的理學士課程水平相若，讓學生於入讀大學前打好基礎。而且這裡的每位講師都用心教學、準備充足，課後仍會細心解答同學問題，更會用心聆聽及解答我們對升學和就業的疑問。就是這樣，我才能輕鬆升上大學，更認識了一班好朋友及好講師。高考的成績未如理想，未必代表與大學無緣！
