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.

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.

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。

The Associate of Science programme provided by HKU SPACE CC is definitely a good choice for students who are eager to study science.

One special reason that I chose HKU SPACE CC is that students can choose a specific science major to study in their second year of the programme, and there are many available options for them to choose as well. Therefore, it means that they can select their own study path based on their interests. Besides, students studying this programme are eligible to apply for many UGC-funded degree programmes in different universities. They are also very competitive in striving for a place at university because CC provides a lot of trainings to students to enhance their chance to get an offer from university.

My efforts on the studies in CC have been paid off. Studying at University is no longer an unreachable goal. Thanks CC for giving me meaningful and brilliant student life. The two years of study here is absolutely worthwhile.

Through out these two years, I have not only learned how to study well, but also have developed precious relationship with group mates. I have worked very hard in these two years to achieve my goals in studying in HKU. I cherished the time studying in HKU SPACE because I finally realized that I am very interested in Science especially Earth System Science. In HKU SPACE CC, I met true friends and caring teachers and the most important was that I found my goals ! Always work hard with a positive and relaxed attitude, you will finally make a success.

Studying at CC was a tough but rewarding experience. I had to adopt to the change of using English as the medium of instruction and also took many courses which were not directly related to Science. However, after studying these subjects, my interest to other academic fields were developed, including Philosophy, Psychology and Visual Art. It is a surprising result! I found my dream in Year 2 - Earth Science. This realisation had triggered my thirsty of knowledge about our Earth. I didn’t mind spending extra time outside class time to research and read books as well as asking lecturers questions, as I believe there is no shortcut to success, except hard work. CC is memorable for me because there are lots of passionate and helpful lecturers and I am thankful to them. All I can do is to keep learning and work hard to reward them for their teaching and time.

在最後一屆高考放榜時，由於成績未達入大學的基本要求，感覺很失望。那時，不少中學同學和老師都稱讚港大附屬學院的課程設計，自己又喜歡科學，所以就決定入讀理學副學士。初入學時，不少的課程都較中學的程度深，需要付出大量時間溫習和練習，幸好我認識了一班好朋友一起努力。 學院有很多優秀的講師，每當我遇到困難，他們都樂於幫助及耐心教導，令我的成績飛躍進步。學院為我提供了一個學習的機會，增長知識，培養興趣，豐富我的人生。多謝港大附屬學院和各位講師。
