2015-16 Diploma in Foundation Studies
Looking back at my DSE results, it was a hard time for me. Then I made one of the most satisfying and paramount choices in my life - choosing the DFS programme at HKU SPACE Community College - which changed my life. I remember that at the beginning of the first semester, I tried very hard to adapt to the environment. As time went by, I became familiar with the environment and built up my confidence. I would like to thank many nice and kind lecturers for helping and teaching me a lot. Whenever I came across questions related to my study or career, they were willing to help. After studying the DFS programme, the most important achievements were realising my real interest, rebuilding my confidence and identifying new goals for myself. The time I spent here was so enjoyable and it was also the turning point in my life.

2018-2019 Associate of Business Administration, Year 2 (Finance Theme)
My performances in HKDSE were not satisfactory, which resulted in no university offers. However, my outstanding GPA at HKU SPACE CC allowed me to obtain my first-time scholarship and the chance to get into HKUST. Although you might be frustrated at this moment having to study an associate degree, I’d like to remind you that if you work hard, it would be a fruitful experience that may lead to many more opportunities in the future.
“Astronaut”, keep empowering yourself! I wish you all the best in the future!

2018 Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies, HKU SPACE Community College
My school life in HKU SPACE CC was fruitful yet challenging. Here are the five key elements that summarize the 2 years of Archi-life.
First, team work is quintessential to every aspect of my learning experience, from learning to cooperate and communicate, to achieving a goal that could not otherwise be achieved, to sharing ideas and learning from each other. This makes you and the team/ classmate grow together.
Second, active learning is part of architecture. While an engineer knows everything about something, an architect ought to know something about everything. This is very different from secondary school life, where instead of being told what you must do, you must decide on your scope of study and decide on your design direction where there is no right and wrong. For example, in one of the projects we participated - Together We Build, we were given an objective to design a furniture for an elderly center. To build something, you must understand a lot of different aspects, including the end user, the site and the surrounding environment. You must also decide how to conduct your own survey. You need to constantly put yourself into the end users’ shoes to build a good design that suit their lifestyle.
Third, a “can-do” mentality is crucial to an architectural student. You should never give up before you try, because then you would never know what you are capable of. One of the projects we built was a 1-to-1 scale model, and we chose an aquaponics system, which turned out to be incredibly complex, extremely difficult. But more importantly, doable.
Which brings me to the fourth point. Passion is what helps you through the day, gives you the “can-do” mentality, and helps you knock down obstacles one by one. Architectural students are those who keep improving the design within the time given—although there will be obstacles. Having passion is what drives one to overcome them, making us stronger and more persistent, and helping us overcome our failures.
Fifth, I’m also glad to have such a great team of tutors and mentors here. They are very experienced in their fields, some are even still working in the field and therefore are knowledgeable with up-to-date practical suggestions, know-how and advice. They are all willing to and patient to share their thoughts and experiences, which has sped up my learning curve.
Architectural study is really fun, because it is not just about schooling; it is a mindset, a way of thinking and a key for us to open up our curiosity to everyday life.

在此感謝曾教導我的每一位老師,在他們悉心的教導和鼓勵下,我才能順利畢業並成功升讀本港的大學。在這兩年間受到不同老師的啟發,令我有無數的得著,成醫之路並不容易走,老師亦令我明白到,作為醫者,比起醫術高明,醫德更為重要。雖然升學的過程中比其他人繞了更遠更多的路,但慶幸在沿途上遇上老師伴我同行,成為我的指路明燈,令我更加肯定了他日懸壺濟世的決心。

2014年健康科學副學士(護理學)畢業生
2 years in AHS programme was not a cakewalk for me, but it was worth it. All the courses, practicum were very intense as it provided various opportunities to equip students to step in nursing field. Nursing is not only about practicing skills, but also requiring your evidence based, professional knowledge. Apart from the theories and human physiology, practicum in different health care settings was also provided to every student. This valuable experience inspired and motivated us to be more proactive in learning and caring. Challenges, difficulties and frustrations are unavoidable, but it is blessed to have many supportive companions and lecturers along these 2 years. The new journey in HKU has started, I am still grateful to have this precious memory in AHS.
