Morris Ling Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream, 2010-2013)

This Information Technology programme arouses my curiosity in exploring networking technology and provides solid skills for the future job market. The programme’s curriculum is very practical for me to obtain relevant industrial certificates. I really enjoyed studying at HKU SPACE CC. The lecturers are willing to share their life experiences and interact with us more often. I am not only learned the concrete skills and knowledge but also the diligent working attitude from them. Moreover, the programme provided a lot of opportunities to broaden my horizon. For instance, I joined the 8th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition last year and won the 1st runner-up. That was my valuable experience at the College. In 2011, I was awarded the Principal's Honours List 2010-2011 and HKU SPACE Community College Scholarship 2011. In 2012, I joined the 8th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition 2012 (1st runner-up), also I was awarded HKU SPACE College Scholarships 2012. In 2013, I was admitted to the UGC-funded degree programme of Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and I was also awarded the Self-financing Post-secondary Scholarship Scheme 2012-2013 from HKSAR. In addition to my hands-on achievement, I have also been successfully admitted to the UGC-funded degree programme at The Chinese University of Hong Kong this year. I hope everyone will enjoy their school life during their study at HKU SPACE Community College. 查看詳情

Wong Ching Ki 2013-14 Associate of Social Sciences (General Theme A - Psychology), Year 2

I got a HKU offer of 4-year Social Sciences programme. In fact,I didn't think that I would get this offer before interview. I just consider that if I apply this programme, I have 50% to get the offer; if I don't apply this programme, I have 0% to get the offer. After the interview, I felt satisfied with my performance. But I i didn't think about it anymore. "I do the best, God do the rest!" To me, I believe if something belong to me, they will belong to me, and vice versa. We should have faith that God has something better in store. Anyway, thanks people who help me and support me! 查看詳情

Sheng Leung Cheung, Casado 2013-14 Associate of Engineering, Year 1

My time in HKU SPACE CC has been an enlightening experience on multiple levels. While the courses here have provided me with vast amounts of contextual knowledge, I also picked up valuable habits which I am certain will be beneficial as I continue my academic endeavours. The greatest challenge that I had to overcome was adjusting to a new education system. In high school, teachers often – figuratively speaking – held student’s hands along the process. Students were expected to attend for about seven hours of schooling every day from Monday through Friday. The scheme in CC is completely different, teaching hours vary greatly and so time management was essential. I quickly realized that I had to improve my old lifestyle in order to prevent work from accumulating. I learned the importance of discipline and scheduling so I could effectively balance my studies, hobbies and social life. Experiencing this change is necessary for any scholar that wishes to further their academic career into the university level, as it will be the same then. Another welcoming gesture was that many lecturers willingly shared their personal experiences with students to prepare us for adversities we might face in the future. Despite having very busy schedules, lecturers excelled both inside and outside the classrooms. The many discussions I had with all my lecturers often proved very fruitful. Lecturers always provided insight not only on the course they taught but also on how that specific course related to Engineering or simply life as a whole. The new environment also served as a great means for cultural enrichment. Having graduated from an international school, I did not have much insight about local students, but after these past few months I have made various friendships which have exposed me to another side of Hong Kong. I re-established the respect that I have for education as I became aware of the trials and tribulations that others have to face and was reminded that I have to cherish the opportunities I have. HKU SPACE CC taught me that education at the post-secondary level is not mandatory, it is a voluntary decision and thus it is a commitment in which the amount of success one can enjoy is directly proportional to the amount of effort one puts in. It is this philosophy that gives me the courage and certainty to take my next step in life. 查看詳情

Au Pok Yin, Lawrence Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Security Stream, 2012-2014)

As the old proverb says, “Failure teaches success”. I have been studying at HKU SPACE Community College for two years since I finished my DSE public examination. It is unbelievable to see that I can get into the university for advanced studies. After the DSE public examination, I was depressed about my results and didn’t manage to get into any university. It upset me for a while and my dream was broken. I was so puzzled that I had no idea about whether I should continue my studies or just drop out and work for a living. Fortunately, I made an important decision to give myself one more chance to study a Higher Diploma for getting into university. Then, I decided to study the higher diploma in Information Technology at HKU SPACE CC as it was highly recommended by my relatives and friends. Not only did I gain a solid grounding in the basic techniques of IT, but this is also another path that could lead to success. I have been interested in IT since I was in secondary school. I always have had a great sense of fulfilment and success after accomplishing a programme. With my keen interest, determination and learning strategies, I believe that I can rise to the upcoming challenge of this Programme and manage to reach the goal. During the past two years of studies, I have realized that I am not as smart as others. Therefore, I have put a lot of effort into my studies, assignments and preparations for the examination. Apart from my endeavour, I appreciate the help from my lecturers who are willing to share their experiences and professional advice with me. During these courses, I have gained invaluable exposure to new skills, developed interpersonal relationships and professional knowledge in HKU SPACE CC. All in all, what I have gained from HKU SPACE CC has equipped me for getting into university. To me, my goal of going to university is still attainable and I am now well prepared for facing the upcoming demands. 查看詳情

Ho Kwong Pang Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream, 2010-2013)

As a student of Higher Diploma in Information Technology from 2010 to 2013, I truly enjoyed the time in HKU SPACE CC. This programme not only provided me with fundamental knowledge and skills, but also motivated my progression in professional career development and helped me shaping the right direction toward study and work. I was not successful in HKALE but I didn’t start it over again the next year. Instead, I entered the foundation year of this IT programme. Being a post-secondary student without any relevant IT knowledge and experience, I was a bit worried about the road ahead in HKU SPACE CC at first. Fortunately, the curriculum came in from the ground up. I was on the right track of both academic study and practical training. Lectures and classmates were very kind and helpful, and I had the joy of learning something new, interesting and challenging. Having specialized in Networking study for two years, I learned the concrete switching and routing knowledge in addition to other soft skills. The Networking Stream covered the professional knowledge with the supplement of industrial practice, which provided us a good foundation to obtain industrial certification in the future. Moreover, I was honored to participate on the College’s behalf in the 8th and 9th Cisco Hong Kong–Macau Youth Networking Skills Competitions and was awarded the 1st runner-up. These valuable experiences were very useful for me in further study. Within these years, the IT courses enabled me to learn how to become an IT professional and get several valuable achievements: 2010-2011 • Principal’s Honours List 2010 - 2011 2011-2012 • Principal’s Honours List 2011 - 2012 • The 8th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition 2012 - 1st runner-up • HKSAR Self-financing Post-secondary Scholarship Scheme 2012 - Outstanding Performance Scholarship • “Cisco Certified Network Associate” Certificate 2012-2013 • Principal’s Honours List 2012 - 2013 • Academic Excellence Award • The 9th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition 2013 – 1st runner-up • HKSAR Self-financing Post-secondary Scholarship Scheme 2013 – Outstanding Performance Scholarship • Passed Cisco Certified Network Professional-route Exam Now, I am the student of UGC-funded degree programme at the City University of Hong Kong. Studying Computer Science, I find that the knowledge and experiences obtained from the Higher Diploma is really helpful. I appreciate the chance that allowed me to find my real interest in academics and having further study in university. I hope everyone would enjoy his or her school life at HKU SPACE CC. 查看詳情

Lee Cheong Wang, Jacky 2013-14 Associate of Applied Science in Information Technology (Computer Engineering) Year 2

After failing the public examination, my ideal study path to study in local university was broken. HKU SPACE CC provided a chance for me to pursue high level education, and also helped me discover my interest in computing. At the beginning I was scared because I haven’t studied any computing subjects before. Later I found that it is not a problem as the programme structure is designed from easy to hard, even a beginner can follow as long as you want to learn. In addition, the lecturers are so friendly and helpful that they are always happy to answer our questions. I am extremely grateful to the lecturers who have helped me a lot in my study. Now I have been trained to be capable of developing application programmes and solving computer problems. Most importantly, there is a chance for me to study in university. HKU SPACE CC is a place for me to get familiar with the study mode in university, and also a place of self-affirmation. 查看詳情
