Chan Wing Hong, Anson 2021 Undergraduate, BEng (Hons) Air Transport Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I am glad to have studied for the Higher Diploma in Aviation and Piloting at HKU SPACE Community College. I believed that many people had a dream like me, to pilot a plane and fly in the sky. When I was in the secondary school, I was certain that I wanted to become a pilot in the future. I love flying and believed this occupation would suit me well. After completing my secondary education, I struggled to find a suitable aviation-related course in Hong Kong—especially about flying. Finally I discovered HKU SPACE Community College, which offered the course on aviation and piloting. 2019-20 was my first year at HKU SPACE Community College. It was my most memorable year in which I took part in the Australia Aviation Study Trip. During the trip, we secured many precious opportunities such as a trial flight at Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne. I was allowed to sit at the front of the aircraft with my instructor, and I would never forget the excitement during my first take-off and landing. I was so energized because I knew it was one great step toward my dream, and it confirmed that I had chosen my future career correctly. 查看詳情

I never expected to step into such a welcoming environment at HKU SPACE. The lecturers were all very heart-warming and eager to help, whether the issues were academic or personal. I have met new friends that I still have contact with and are very close to this day. The experiences I had with my fellow classmates, academically and socially, were very valuable for my personal development. All in all, communication is definitely key around HKU SPACE. 查看詳情

The goal of being a pilot is my dream after a cockpit visit when I was 14 and it ignited my passion to Aviation for many years. Unfortunately, I started studying an Associate Degree in Social Sciences at HKU SPACE Community College after high school and then I transferred to the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme after my first year of studies. As an Aviation Studies student, I experienced plenty of valuable opportunities to learn about the Aviation industry through exchange programmes, oversea visits and internships. Most of our lecturers are Hong Kong professionals working in the Aviation industry. They are willing to “facilitate” our studies and share their experiences in the field by providing practical tasks in our courses. I remembered a remarkable assignment in the risk management course. We were required to perform a Risk Assessment on a local Aviation agent and my team was one of the top three groups in our programme and we won a ferry helicopter flight gift certificate. In addition, I benefitted greatly from a training tour in Korea for the Asia-pacific Aviation Education & Training Symposium which inspired me to discover the joy of working in the industry and through discussions with the Aviation experts from around the world. I was lucky to be one of a very small number of people who was selected as an intern at the Metrojet Ltd., a Hong Kong-based six stars private operator. During the summer internship, I participated in a number of strategic positions in various departments from Engineering & Flight Operations to Corporate Safety. I also received an overview of a typical Air Operator to understand the perspective between Business & Commercial Aviation which was great experience and starting point for my future development in the Aviation industry and developed my ability to learn new knowledge for my further training. Time flies, I will be spending my last semester in Aviation Studies. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to all the lecturers, staff and my lovely classmates in the programme. The joy of Aviation is built from passions, determination, dedication and insistence and I believe a successful “Aviator” should have these elements to keep their excellence. Never let obstacles stop you, strive focus on your passion. 查看詳情

Winnie Wong BSc in Hotel Management, PolyU (Year 2)

由於本科要求學生有較高的雙語能力，於是我平日常常訓練自己，尤其是英語聆聽能力。在開始的時候，當我聆聽英文新聞報導，我無法即時用中文去口譯它的內容。於是，每日我會堅持聽最少30分鐘英文，漸漸地我的聆聽能力提升了，學習成果也就隨之而來。。查看詳情

司徒頌明 Year 1 student of Bachelor of Engineering in The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Failure is the first step towards success. I got a bad result in the HKDSE examination. University entry seemed far away from me. However, the Higher Diploma in Logistics and Transport programme helped me achieve my goal. In this programme, I found what I am interested in. The lecturers who are from different logistics backgrounds passed on a lot of knowledge during the lectures, which were relevant to what I am studying now. There are lots of internship opportunities and competitions for me to gain practical experience that goes beyond the knowledge from textbooks. After my first year of study, I received two offers, a Bachelor of Engineering from CUHK and a Bachelor of Engineering in Energy Science and Engineering from CityU. I am glad that I studied this Higher Diploma programme, which gave me a second chance to enter university. 查看詳情
