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。

我在HKU SPACE CC一年比在中學六年所學到的還要多。我每天都留校溫習至十時才離開，沒有多餘的功課，下課後全是靠自己看參考書、wiki。測驗考試範圍廣泛，但難度比公開試低，讓我自由地根據自己興趣而溫習。讓我獲益最多的一科是學習與人溝通，做group project遇上不同程度的組員，因而結識了許多不同背景朋友，最後還得到港大錄取，遠超乎我入學時的期望。

After the release of the HKDSE results, I entered HKU SPACE CC with sorrow and despair. But I felt grateful as well because I was given a second bite at the cherry to get into university. Personally speaking, hard work is of the utmost importance to attain fruitful grades. In order to be considered by universities, it is crucial to have high GPA, especially in Semester 1. Although the programme is not easy to handle, it is still manageable if you invest time and effort. So try your level best and see you in the university next year.

When I received my public examination result last year, I was upset and I didn't know what to do. Finally, my friends suggested me to study in HKU SPACE CC. After studied a year in CC, I got a lot of changes. Tertiary education is totally different from secondary education. After a whole day of lessons, I would go to the library to do revision on what I had learnt. If there was anything I wasn't sure about, I would check and read reference books. In this year, I started to enjoy learning rather than just learning for the public examinations. Admittedly, life in CC is extremely tough; we had to do a lot of assignments and even attend examination on a Sunday, but I still enjoyed it because there are nice lecturers who will help you if you seek help. What I want to say is nothing is impossible as long as you have a dream.

I am very glad that I could get into the university in the first year. At first, I felt desperate when I failed to get into a degree programme with my HKDSE result. Besides my hard work, HKU SPACE CC helped me a lot to reach my success; for example, programmes offered by CC are similar to those in universities, which familiarises us with university-life and helps in answering the professors in interviews. Of course, working hard is the most important factor to have a better chance to further your study. Thus, you should thoughtfully consider when selecting which programme to study. Ability always overrides your interest. Anyway, please do not give up even if you don’t perform well in HKDSE. There are many other channels that can lead you to a fruitful future. It is worth grabbing this chance, isn’t it?

當年文憑試放榜那種晴天霹靂的感覺，真是一生難忘。以我的成績，升上大學的機會只有一半。於是，我上網搜尋提供副學士課程的院校。起初我並無注意到港大附屬學院，但當向師長、友人查詢時，他們不約而同地推介這學院。於是我便報讀了港大附屬學院。 剛開始時，我對學院各方面都相當陌生。幸好，學院有完善的配套去支援學生，講師都關心我們。雖然對部分同學來說，學院的課程或會較艱深，但只要我們主動尋求協助，講師都會樂意為同學解決疑難，助同學跟上進度，打好基礎。除此之外，學院理科的課程經過悉心編排，配合實驗課，讓我們掌握相關的技巧 。 入讀學院之後我再次反思自己的興趣，認清人生目標，很快適應大學的上課模式及校園生活，可謂獲益良多。 其實，以前我不敢奢望能夠升上香港大學。所以，在港大附屬學院讀書，只要肯下定決心，奮發向上，絕對會有意想不到的結果！

失望和迷茫最適合形容我放榜時的心情，我選擇了港大附屬學院，因為中學老師都說港大附屬學院師資優良，升學率高，特別是升讀我夢想的學系－香港大學理學系。港大附屬學院細心的課程編排，講師的悉心教導，都令我對理學產生濃厚興趣。多問、多假設、多練習，是我在學院領略到的心法。同時，學院豐富了我的人際關係，好些同學成了摯友，講師也成了我的人生導師。我由衷的感謝港大附屬學院，一個令我成長、實現夢想的地方。

雖然聯招結果不理想，可是我從來沒有放棄進大學的夢想。因為HKU SPACE CC升讀資助大學學士學位機會比較高，所以公開試放榜後就立即報名。讀了一年的建築學高級文憑，發現自己對這科目興趣不大，就轉讀了理學副學士，並決心一年後升讀大學。在這兩年，我學會很多，而且變得更加堅強，即使遇到挫折也不輕易言敗，認清自己的目標及方向後，便更努力前進。衷心感謝HKU SPACE CC所有講師，以及曾經幫助我實現夢想的朋友。
