Jeff Yiu 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! 查看詳情

Chan Chung Ho, Matthew The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Social Science

I am currently an undergraduate student in The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), majoring in Global Studies. The area of focus is about international relations and politics in global affairs. Before joining CUHK, I decided to take a year of full-time employment in order to subsidize my further studies after graduating from the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme of HKU SPACE CC. From my previous work experiences in the discipline of flight operations at a local aviation ground handling agent, I came across many real life complexities for which I could make good use of what I have learnt about the industry, and that further enabled me to demonstrate certain levels of familiarity to get job tasks done within real-life constraints. During my study in the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme, I was luckily selected as a student representative to participate in the conferences organised by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) - Next Generation Aviation Professionals Outreach Committee. My role was to work with my teammates through meetings and give presentations to different aviation stakeholders from different countries. We gave ideas on how to tackle the anticipated shortage of competent personnel required by the industry from a student’s point of view. Through the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme, I received the opportunity to join an internship in a business jet company in Hong Kong, Metrojet Ltd. During the 2-month internship training, I had job rotations in three departments within Metrojet, which were the Engineering Department, Corporate Safety Department and Flight Operations Department. At the end of the internship, I gave presentations to the management board of the company regarding the key learning areas gained in each department as a conclusion of the whole internship programme. Overall, the Aviation programme has equipped me with extensive specialized knowledge of the industry and provided me with lots of opportunities to get involved in the real-life industrial situations even when I was just a student with no practical experience. My enthusiasm for aviation has simply been sparked further by the programme. The experience had dramatically changed my mind when I stepped far outside my comfort zone. 查看詳情

Ng Ka Man Janis Offer received: CityU BSc in Criminology

Group assignments are emphasized in tertiary education and it is thus important to plan your lectures timetable with your friends together. I am very grateful that I had three good friends to accompany me throughout the two years of study. We had all lectures together and of course finished all group assignments together. The friends whom I have made in HKU SPACE CC not only helped me to get admission to a bachelor’s degree, but also enriched my life in these two years. 查看詳情

Ho Man Hon, Felix 2013-14 Associate of Applied Science in Information Technology (Computer Science), Year 2

HKU SPACE CC is my alternative gateway to further my study after failing to enrol in undergraduate programmes offered by the UGC-funded universities. The study mode here gives me more freedom than the secondary schooling experience that I received before. There is no past examination paper or revision exercise, but there are different types of reference materials. We need to develop our own way of revising each course, and broaden our views and knowledge. I have been interested in programming since my secondary school, but I have not received any formal and regular training on computer programming. The AIT programme gives me a lot of chances to acquire practical programming skills, and also some useful advice on how to develop a good programme. It also strengthens my knowledge in the field of computer and information technology in order to improve my programme design. HKU SPACE CC provides me with a lot of experiences that are very useful in my future study. It is my pleasure to study here. 查看詳情

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. 查看詳情

Au Ching Mei, Envose 2013-14 年度應用科學副學士（計算機科學）二年級學生
