Li Tsz Ching, Vienna Student of the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies Programme

Two years ago, I finished my HKDSE examination. Although the result displeased me, I hoped I could get into university one day. Therefore, I chose this programme because I knew would have a chance to study in higher education after this. I think this programme has helped me a lot in giving me a clear vision of where I am heading. Besides, I also improved my learning skills through studying different subjects. In addition, I made a lot of friends in this programme. I am enjoying this programme very much. 查看詳情

Lau Ka Yuet, Rachel 2014-15 Associate of Health Science (Biomedical Sciences) (Year 2)

HKU SPACE CC provides a wide variety of programmes suitable for most students with varied interests and preferences. Having chosen the Biomedical Sciences programme, I was exposed to more advanced medical knowledge, human biology and technological skills in science that I had never been taught in my secondary school. Studying the field that I like made learning enjoyable, even though there were hard times in chasing the deadlines of projects, assignments and presentations. It was initially quite challenging to adapt to dramatic changes in the learning style and the level of study at the Community College. However, with the readily available facilities and kind help from the lecturers, learning effectively is no longer mission impossible. Not only did I acquire knowledge from HKU SPACE CC, but also an indomitable character to deal with hardships in life. 查看詳情

Lam Long Fung 2015-16 Assoicate of Engineering (Electronic Engineering), Year 2

I am Michael Lam and I am currently a year 2 student studying Associate of Engineering in Electronic Engineering. I chose to study Engineering as it offers mathematical and computational knowledge and it is a subject which helps to create an array of different products including smartphones and other products we use in daily life. HKU SPACE Community College (CC) is a good place to improve yourself in all areas and to learn about something you love to do and study. I understood that CC was my last chance to get into the university. I tried to change myself. I learned to pay more in what, including academic and interpersonal relationship, I was weak at. I have become more all-round than before and this is the most important thing aside from a place in university that I have gained from HKU SPACE CC. 查看詳情

Wong Yu Ming, William 2014-15 Associate of Health Science (Biomedical Sciences) (Year 2)

The Associate of Health Science (Biomedical Sciences) programme provided me with a wide range of exposure to health and medical sciences, which laid down a solid foundation for my university studies. Learning environment at HKU SPACE CC was inspiring and encouraging. With my supportive and helpful classmates, I was able to enjoy my studies and complete my group projects. Although the learning life was challenging, it was very fruitful and rewarding. I am so grateful for the help from the College, especially from the biomedical sciences programme, and I am sure future students will feel the same way. 查看詳情

Samuel Chan Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Web and Multimedia Development Stream, 2014-16)

Two years ago, I did not do well in the examinations and could not continue my studies in university. I was worried and did not know what to do, just like how you are feeling at this moment. However, I stumbled upon this quote and it changed my whole mentality on my situation: “Life always has its ups and downs. If it doesn’t, you are dead.” To me, this quote means that it is normal to succeed or fail in life. Without failure, one would not be able to treasure the success he has achieved and the same goes to the other way. With this in mind, I decided to look and apply for higher diploma programmes to further my studies. In the end, I picked the Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme offered by HKU SPACE CC and learned the keys to success in studying through the two-year programme. One of the ways to success is to choose to study a programme that interests you. Of course, nobody likes to study, but a course you are interested in will be much more preferable than one that you hate. In addition, you will feel more motivated towards the course as you want to be more familiar about the subject. Motivation will definitely help you achieve your goals, whether it is studying or working on assignments. Hence, if you are not sure of what subject that you are interested in, then give yourself some time on this website and look for a programme that you will have the most interest in studying and apply for it. Another key to success is to use your time wisely. Everyone has 24 hours a day. How you use those hours is all upon you. If you find a subject challenging, then spend more time studying on that specific course. If more hours invested on it and it still does not do the trick, then asking lecturers for assistance will be another option. Remember, lecturers are the best resources available to you. Use this approach wisely. Last but not least, the key to success is to learn from your mistakes. “You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.” You may have failed before, but many successful people fail all the time. What is important is that you learn from your mistakes and never make the same mistakes again. 查看詳情

So Ka Long 2015-16 Year 2

After the failure of the HKDSE, I have chosen HKU SPACE Community College to continue my studies. Fortunately, I have received two offers from two universities after two years of studying in College. There is no denying that hard working is the paramount key to surviving in this competitive environment. Everyone in this college is trying to score a high GPA to get into university, thus, I needed to be proactive and hard working. Actually, I was not a hard-working person when I was studying in secondary school and everything changed after attending classes in the college. I realize that I need to work hard and change my studying attitudes and methods. The key to success is not only hard work, but also seeking help from the lecturers. Whenever I faced challenges in learning the subject content and I would consult my lecturer after the lessons and they are willing to help and provide guidance to overcome complex issues. Maintaining a strong understanding of the knowledge gained and received in class and getting advice from lecturers is beneficial to working hard and learning how to apply theory and knowledge into individual and group assignments. 查看詳情
