Higher Diploma in Information Technology (2008-2010)
Back to 10 years ago, I was a student of HD in IT. Despite my major was networking, I had opportunities to learn about Information Security and entered the industry after my bachelor studies. Now I am back to HKU SPACE as a lecturer of the new programme HD in Information Security.
If one is asking me why I come back to teach, there are two reasons behind:
First, when compared with IT, Information security is a relatively new domain for people, corporates, institutions and even the society. Due to the fast advancement of technologies and increasing utilization in various industries, more security breakout and concern can be seen (and foreseen). However, shortage of manpower is a major problem throughout the industry, especially in entry level. So I would like to train more people for the whole industry, like what I have gone through in these years.
Another reason is to convey (correct) awareness of information security to teenagers and even the general public, for the misconceptions I have seen nowadays. From TV episodes, movies or the Internet we can see hackers who possess great abilities to destroy or save the world, and teenagers are being attracted and want to become such a person. But the truth is, this industry is a lot more than hackers and technical skills.
In this programme you will learn professional knowledge and skills necessary to survive in this industry, from compliance, audit, management, to technical skills, forensics and hacking (which is pursued by many). Also, you will hear sharing of stories and experience from our adventures in information security field.
My colleagues and I are here to help you to build interests and abilities, as well as provide guidance for your future studies or careers. Looking forward to seeing you around.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking and Information Security Theme, 2016-2018)
In June 2016, I was working in Ottawa and started planning to further my education in universities in Hong Kong. As I did not do well in public examinations, I did not meet the requirements to get into the local universities in Hong Kong. I began to seek for advices from people around me. Some of my friends who studied in HKU SPACE before were also graduated from some of the local universities like HKU. Their experience showed me a path to fulfil my goal. Based on the information provided on the website of HKU SPCAE, I thought HKU SPACE will be an ideal platform to equip myself. Therefore, I decided to study Higher Diploma in Information Technology in HKU SPACE (HDIT).
As I was a science student in secondary school and did not study subjects like ICT, I used to think HDIT will be very challenging to me. At the first few lessons of some of the courses in year 1 semester 1, I was very confused about the jargons and terms that the lecturers were talking. I put some efforts to search for explanations and try to follow the lessons. Fortunately, I started to understand more and the lecturers are very helpful to answer our questions. As a result, I got a satisfactory GPA and it gave me more confidence to study. At the end of year 2 semester 1, I received a conditional offer from HKUST in BEng in Computer Science and I realized I have finish almost half of my goal.
During the study in HDIT, I learnt many knowledges in networking, information security and programming. I believe everything I learnt here will be very useful for my future study and career. At the same time, I knew some friends here and I really appreciate their help and the time with them. As “All roads lead to Rome”, I think HKU SPACE is a good platform to equip ourselves to study further and work in the society. Everyone would find a way for yourself if you never give up the chances in front of you. Wish you all the best and good luck for your study!
