“The world is one big data problem.”-Andrew McAfee

I have always wanted to see myself in the professional realm of data science. With the increasing sources of data and higher value of data generation, data science has become dominant field with undoubtable merits in every areas whether it be business, medicine, astronomy etc. Pursuing diploma in data science from HKU SPACE Community College was the most important decision for me as I equipped the foundational
knowledge to help me with my journey as an aspiring data scientist. It was indeed well designed for a new student like me and helped me learn up-to-speed right from the beginning. However, you need to show some passion and dedication inorder- to make the most of the course. The professors were always available to help me clear my doubts and queries whenever I needed them and I am grateful to each of them who helped me make my way to university. It was only a year of study, but I feel like I’ve gained a lot of insight about the so-called sexiest profession in 2021 because of it.

I am truly grateful for the amazing individuals and opportunities that I encountered at HKU SPACE CC. It was an honor to be a part of such a supportive and academic community during my continuing education. The strong academic atmosphere at HKU SPACE CC provided me with an ideal environment for studying and learning. The lecturers were always willing to assist and foster my academic progress, and students were determined to achieve bachelor’s degrees and better career prospects. I was able to find supportive study partners throughout my journey at HKU SPACE CC.
The Data Science (DS) programme was a highlight of my life experience. This programme not only deepened my knowledge in data mining and data visualization, but it also kept me up to date with the latest trends in the field, particularly in the hot topic of big data. One of the reasons I chose this programme was because of its affiliation with the engineering department. It offered courses such as “Machine Learning” and “Data Structures and Algorithms”, which gave me the confidence I needed to pursue further study at the university majoring engineering and science.
Overall, my experience at HKU SPACE CC was unforgettable and I am grateful for every aspect of it. Being a part of such a “Big Family” has been an incredible experience and I am proud to have been a student at such a prestigious institution.
