It was a memorable and good experience to study in the College. During these two years of study, I equipped myself with academic knowledge and presentation skills which are useful for further studies. With assistance and encouragement from lecturers and schoolmates, I was able to overcome all the difficulties, and this made studying enjoyable. 查看詳情

HKU SPACE CC gave me a second chance. To start with, I actually did quite well in my HKDSE examinations. My 5 best subjects totaled 23, with a Level 5 in Maths, Physics and ICT. I even studied Maths M1, though only scoring Level 4. However, I ran into a fairly common problem with EMI secondary school students, some of us just cannot do well in Chinese Language. Sadly, I scored Level 2, where JUPAS decided to filter out all university applications of those who do not meet Level 3 for Chinese Language. So in JUPAS, I did not get any university offer to further my studies. To be fair, I saw that coming. HKDSE Chinese Language to me is like a lucky draw. Before the results were out, I had already applied for IT related higher diploma programmes through E-APP based on my interests, getting conditional offers from institutes in case I failed the lucky draw which I did. Among the offers, I picked the one from HKU SPACE CC as it was recommended by a friend who had just completed Year 1 HD IT studies here, and on top of that, associations with HKU itself is a quality assurance for the education provided. HKU SPACE CC has offered me a second chance, where I have received a university offer through advancing on my path to an IT career. However, it’s not as simple as learning things I am interested in. In my opinion, studying at HKU SPACE CC is closer to studying at university, or even to a real life working environment. In HKU SPACE CC, grade assessment involves group projects, and it’s common to bump into irresponsible people who do not care at all. With not much cooperation experience, I would say that studying in HKU SPACE CC is eye opening, gave me a good taste of worst case scenario working with people in real life, as well as how well it can go, and how people can achieve more working together. To conclude, HKU SPACE CC gave me an alternate path to university, and has taught me more than just IT. 查看詳情

Everyone has a dream of studying in university. Unfortunately, I failed my HKDSE. After receiving my HKDSE result, I didn’t know where I should go at that time. Thankfully, I got into HKU SPACE CC and gained a lot from the Higher Diploma in Information Technology (HD IT) programme. During these two years, I learnt a lot from my lecturers and friends; not only academically, but also life experience. Lecturers would kindly share their experiences to us, especially work experience and their stories. They would offer a helping hand when we are facing problems. Besides, friendship is also an important treasure you will get here. Happiness and sadness should be shared with your friends. For me, I got a low GPA in semester one. Fortunately, my friends and lecturers supported me and encouraged me to put more effort in my study. Now, I am striving for CCENT in the coming year. HD IT is about different domains of information technology, and I have chosen networking as my major subject. In the networking stream, lecturers taught us networking step-by-step. For hands-on experiments, we can use routers, switches and other network devices to practise our skill in controlling them. Frankly, it is interesting for us to control the network by our hands and knowledge. I can still remember the satisfaction of making the network function. Apart from academic life, HKU SPACE CC provided many chances to improve my CV. I was selected to participate into the 10th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition last year and awarded with merit. This competition has widened my horizons and expanded my resume, which is very useful for my future career. Last but not least, I am proud of being a student of Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme. Studying in HKU SPACE CC is not just only to learn knowledge, but also to bring a lot of unforgettable memories and make friends, who can fight for the goal together. Now, I am admitted to the Department of Computer Science at HKUST for my further study successfully. 查看詳情

Because of failure in public examination, I had low self-confidence and no hope towards my future. However, I experienced a turning point here. I started to study hard with passion, to become a committee member and speak publicly, and to believe in my ability. Definitely, I experienced moments of sorrow and fear. However, when you work hard, focus on the goals and keep moving on with perseverance, what you receive is far more than what you expect. I cherish memories of studying here. This is a journey of a lifetime. Let’s study hard, work hard and play hard. Believe yourself and you can do it. 查看詳情

My learning journey on Information Technology dated back to two years ago when I joined the HKU SPACE Community College. A mass of practical knowledge provided here was certainly able to help me develop a career success in the IT industry through this programme. Obviously, a motto has always appeared in my mind after I have engaged in this programme, “Grades and results are not your goals for studying, competences should be the key thing for you to acquire here”. Applying the knowledge that we have learnt and equipping sufficient practical experience were the most valuable outcomes for me in these two years. The courses have equipped me with plenty of practical skills, the knowledge of IT governance, IS Audit and so on. It helps me realize the real life situation in this industry, rather than theories only. Meanwhile, all group projects and skill tests were able to strengthen my self-problem solving ability since we have to fix all predicaments that we faced on our own instead of seeking assistance all over the time. “No more relying on the others and waiting for the answer, try to solve it by yourself”. This might be the main feature of the educational culture of HKU SPACE Community College. When I look back in these two years, truly speaking, it is a treasurable chance for me to study at HKU SPACE Community College since the backgrounds and attitudes of the lecturers are tremendously professional and serious; their self-working experiences could be the guidance or model for you to step into the specific industry later on. And, these factors helped me acquire an excellent result and make use of scholarships for taking the examinations of different certificates, like ITIL, CISSP and CISA. Consequently, HKU SPACE CC has helped me build up a career success and provided something for which the universities might not be able to do so. 查看詳情

It is hard to forget the bad days after releasing of HKDSE results. Eventually, I decided to study in the Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme at HKU SPACE CC. It definitely was a stepping stone for me to enter the university. The lecturers were very much willing to help us, which made me feel hopeful. They were teachers with heart and we could feel every lecture was delivered with full devotion. They conducted lessons with absolute verbal clarity, and they were so friendly that we did not feel embarrassed to ask them questions when we had difficulties. Also, they guided us to get ourselves familiarized with all kinds of network equipment in the laboratory. All in all, studying in CC was an extremely valuable experience. After lectures, they offered us information about admission to university and taught us how to perform well in interviews. As an IT student in the networking stream, I learned a lot of professional knowledge about CCNA and CCNP. I learned how to configure the routers and switches through different kinds of network protocols and cables. Also, all students had the opportunity to implement these protocols on real professional equipment. HKU SPACE CC provides us a lot of opportunities to enrich our profile. For instance, I was a helper in the admission day and I was recommended to participate in the Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition. These experiences are very useful to help us to be approved by the university. In summary, I am grateful to the lecturers and I find myself fortunate to have studied in this college and related programme. Although this articulation route is a bit longer than others, I entered UGC-funded university and regained confidence eventually. 查看詳情
