Do you like aviation? Would you like to learn more about it? Would you like to join the industry? Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme is definitely your choice. In this course, what you can get is not just knowledge on handouts but also a valuable and unforgettable experience that actually bring you into the aviation industry. During the two years’ time, I had been to several airshows and overseas trips. Unlike those trips in secondary schools, we are now treated as one of the professional in these major events. We would be able to chat with experts from famous companies (e.g. Boeing, Airbus) as well as share their design and ideas of their company which make you feel that you are a member of the aviation family. In the Asia Pacific Aviation Education and Training Symposium, we got a chance to listen to a sharing giving by an Emirates’ manager who told us about his career path and daily responsibilities. These experiences helped me to develop confidence in the business world and understand the operations of aviation industry which is very useful for my future career. Moreover, one of the big differences between this course to others is that many lecturers and tutors have worked m the industry. They would share their daily job experiences that enrich the lessons and make the classes more practical and useful. We also have a lot of opportunities to join many different internship provided by industry like Cathay Pacific Services Limited, Metrojet and Heliservices. For those who want to be a pilot or flight attendant, the college provides different training workshops and professional advice. We are also given the chance to participate in activities like the Annual Aircraft Crash Exercise held by the Airport Authority, which gives us a bigger picture of the aviation in different aspects. If you like aviation and would like to join the industry, it should be you choice. What you can get here would be more than you expected. Now, I am studying in a BBA programme at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, majoring in International Shipping and Transport Logistics and continue to strive for my dream to be a professional in the aviation industry. Hope to see you in the coming future!

2014年商業學高級文憑(市場營銷及廣告)
在港大附屬學院的兩年,我在各方面都得到豐富的收穫。在修讀高級文憑的路上,成績是我最為著緊的。在學習方面,講師上課大多以互動形式教授,亦不時以分組討論來幫助我們應用書本上的知識,令我準備考試時能輕鬆面對,考取好成績,並於畢業後銜接到商科學士學位課程。 除了課堂,學院亦給予我在相關範疇的工作機會,在暑期實習中親身嘗試由設計到實踐宣傳計劃,並自行解決過程中遇到的問題,令我對Marketing這個行業有更深入的了解。 在課餘活動方面,學院十分重視同學的全能發展。在學校的支持下,我們的Rugby Team多次出戰大專賽事都取得獎項。同時,經過兩年的經驗,我現在更爭取到大學欖球代表隊的一席位。

2015 Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies, HKU SPACE Community College
Through Architecture, I want to express myself in a more interesting way.
Architecture has always been a self-motivated discipline that demands great determination. Thus, it is undoubtedly a lifelong challenge to learn Architecture. While I found myself disappointed with the JUPAS result, HKU SPACE CC offered me an opportunity to rediscover my journey.
The Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies is a well-organized programme that provides all-round training for its students. It encourages the balance between 3-D designs and design resolutions, the exploration in historic and cultural contexts, as well as applications in the local practical field. In addition, witnessing is always one of the best ways to understand Architecture. A field trip will be arranged every year for students to interact with award-winning architects. In this way, students will also develop and sharpen their judgment while appreciating an array of masterpieces.
You will surely learn the attitude required to pursue a career in this competitive field by participating in the numerous job placements posted by the department every summer.
With a high level of autonomy, I was able to express my ideas through different media and in-depth research. Also, my work stayed consistent through cross-related modules in the programme. Taking full control over my projects, these two years of valuable self-learning experience taught me to be a disciplined learner.
More importantly, the 2-year programme enriched my portfolio with a collection of projects, with a scale ranging from delicate installations, public pavilions, to large museums. Having equipped with a solid base in design, I was able to further pursue my study for BA (Hons) in Architecture at the Oxford Brookes University.
Whether you would like to practise in the field or continue to study, this programme will certainly equip yourself with everything you need to achieve your goals.
Trust your instincts and never let go of what you want to do. The Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies programme at HKU SPACE CC might be another option to understand your powers and limits. Step out of your comfort zone and explore yourself.
To fellow students who are in pursuit of Architecture, I wish you all success in your future!

After receiving my HKDSE results, I felt disappointed and I was confused about my future. However, by having the valuable chance to complete the Higher Diploma in Engineering programme at HKU SPACE Community College, I was able to develop practical skills and knowledge through lectures, lab sessions and site visits. With lecturers’ patience and guidance, together with the advanced engineering equipment, I became a well equipped and knowledgeable engineering student. I am so happy to tell you that I was finally admitted to the Bachelor of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong. Thank you so much!

I have great aspiration in aviation, that's why I chose the Aviation Studies in HKU SPACE Community College in 2012. Throughout the two years, other than the knowledge taught by lecturer, the college also provides us opportunity to work at the airport or with different airlines. Luckily, I had a chance to work at Jardine Aviation Services as a ground staff. Although I only worked for a short period, I really enjoyed working in the field that I love. I am currently working in the Customer Service Department at Cathay Pacific. The time here is wonderful. Hope that other aviation-lovers can also find themselves from this programme.

This programme provides both practical skills and knowledge about the aviation industry in Hong Kong and around the world, which has helped us to build a good foundation to develop our career path in the aviation field. For instance, this programme offered us several field trips that could broaden our knowledge and experience on how companies operate their business. Furthermore, sharing sessions by pilots and flight attendants allow us to have a deeper understanding of their job. Their experiences were also useful for us to enter the aviation industry in the future. In addition, internship programmes were offered to us as well, which provided a valuable opportunity for us to know more about the industry in Hong Kong and better equip ourselves to get ready to enter into the industry. Not only do we have internship opportunities offered by the programme, the lecturers of each course have worked in the industry in Hong Kong. They are experienced and also have rich knowledge in different aspects of aviation industry which is useful to students whom are interested in joining the industry in the future. The higher diploma programme not only provided practical skills and knowledge to me, but also gave me a chance to further my study in university. HKU SPACE CC is rich in resources and willing to provide all possible assistance to students, including me, to pursue a degree after graduation. Although my current study is not related to aviation, I would still want to work in the aviation industry in the future. If you are interested in aviation or willing to develop your career path in aviation industry, please do not hesitate and apply for this programme.
