Graduate, Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies
Flying used to be a human dream, but we have overcome the obstacles of this dream with intelligence and technology, and now aviation is the safest transportation mode. We have to give thanks for the advanced technologies, effective safety management systems and so on. You could learn all these topics from the experienced lecturers in the industry. Apart from the academic side, the College has been organising a wide range of activities for us, such as study trips as well as visits to HAECO and Heliservice Inc.. In the last summer, I joined a study trip to Beijing and visited the assembly line of the Airbus in Tianjin. After the trip, I knew much more about the aviation development in China and made a lot of new friends. In the same summer holiday, I was fortunate to be given a chance to take part in the internship programme of the Jardine Aviation Service as Passenger Service Agent (PSA). I was grateful to learn experiencing the activities in the airport and it offered me a chance to learn something out of the classroom like intercommunication skills and the boarding system. The Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies was the first programme ever in HKU SPACE CC to hold their own Orientation Camp, and it is my honour to be a member of the organising committee. It was a good opportunity to meet the new students and we are now good friends. To me, the most unforgettable event is the conference on airworthiness at the Civil Aviation Department. A number of professional and experienced international aviation experts shared their views on aviation safety. I still remember that the president of the International Federation of Airworthiness (IFA) told us, “You are the future of the aviation industry and teaching you safety is our major concern.” The achievements in aviation came from the hard-work, dedication and the commitment of talented people before, and I am sure you guys have those same talents. So, do not give up your dreams and pursue it. Come and fly with us!

The Higher Diploma programme has equipped me with sufficient knowledge and practical techniques to deal with various tasks in aviation. I am glad that I made the right decision four years ago – to be part of the Higher Diploma programme. It is because the knowledge that I have acquired is applicable in my job. Therefore, I can adapt to the ever-changing environment easily.

Graduate Aviation Consultant, EC Harris (Hong Kong) Ltd.
From ancient times, humans have had strong aspirations to fly in the sky. From the Wright brothers to the A380, humans have spent less than 150 years to develop aviation industry. It is amazing and interesting to me, which inspired me to join the aviation industry. I am currently working in a consultancy firm as a Graduate Aviation Consultant after my bachelor’s degree in aviation management. My main responsibility is supporting my team in airport operation, International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) standards and civil aviation regulation. I was assigned to work in different projects with some of the biggest international firms, which explored my insights and increased my international experience. From my pervious project experience, I have drafted the Standard Operating Procedures for helicopter/helipad operators, amended a risk assessment report/risk register for airport operation and held risk workshops with stakeholders, which can enhance my knowledge and working skills such as communication skills with clients and business English etc. I am glad that I can work with a high qualification and professional teammates, who are air traffic controllers, management directors, risk managers and urban planners, etc. that support me a lot. Leveraging the Higher Diploma – Aviation Studies built up my aviation knowledge and expanded my networking in the aviation industry. This programme has equipped me with professional knowledge and technical skills to deal with the challenges in the aviation industry, which is applicable for your future carrier. Besides, the Hong Kong Government and Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) have agreed to build a 3rd runway in Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), but they are facing a challenge of insufficient manpower in the coming years. Therefore, I highly recommend this programme for those who are interested in aviation as your future career.

選擇這個課程,是因為從入學面試到教學期間,都感受到講師對學生的重視與關心。除了用心上課,修讀物流及運輸營運更著重實踐理論,而我確實在這裡得到很多學習機會。參觀物流及運輸業的大機構和到內地廠房實習,這些親身體驗讓我對本科知識有更透徹的理解。參加大專物流公開比賽,又讓我拓寬眼界,增強自信。我在港大附屬學院就讀期間的得著,絕不止於得到一個大學學位,而是一份從前沒感受過的學習體驗、是自己重拾個人信心的重要里程。

Leung Ho Lok, Tommy
Graduate, Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies
I love the sky! Until now, I still remember my trip to Sapporo. In this flight, I had a chance to visit the Boeing 747-400 cockpit. During the conversation with the captain, he encouraged me to be a pilot and ignited my passion to fly. In February 2014, I joined the Singapore Airshow Study Trip with the College. In this trip, except the Airshow aerobatic display, the most exciting activity was CAE visit. During the visit, we all had a chance to fly a few minutes in the A320 simulator. When I was flying, I understood why I want to fly; Why I want be a pilot. That flight helped me to know my passion to fly is as strong as ever. I am working for Jardine Aviation Services Limited as a Passenger Services Agent now. My responsibilities are assisting airline passengers to board the aircraft or to transfer to other flights, etc. I can gain a lot experience from this job like customer service, airlines policy, etc. that will be helpful to my career in the future. This Aviation Studies programme provided plenty of knowledge from experienced lecturers. The knowledge isn't only applicable for my job, but also in my life. Besides that, the College arranges internship opportunities in local airlines, and study trips for us like Beijing in 2013 and Singapore in 2014. I am very pleased that I applied to this course two years ago. In the College life, we still “Work Hard! Play Hard!” But, the most important isn't what you do, is how you do it.
