I am truly grateful for the amazing individuals and opportunities that I encountered at HKU SPACE CC. It was an honor to be a part of such a supportive and academic community during my continuing education. The strong academic atmosphere at HKU SPACE CC provided me with an ideal environment for studying and learning. The lecturers were always willing to assist and foster my academic progress, and students were determined to achieve bachelor’s degrees and better career prospects. I was able to find supportive study partners throughout my journey at HKU SPACE CC.
The Data Science (DS) programme was a highlight of my life experience. This programme not only deepened my knowledge in data mining and data visualization, but it also kept me up to date with the latest trends in the field, particularly in the hot topic of big data. One of the reasons I chose this programme was because of its affiliation with the engineering department. It offered courses such as “Machine Learning” and “Data Structures and Algorithms”, which gave me the confidence I needed to pursue further study at the university majoring engineering and science.
Overall, my experience at HKU SPACE CC was unforgettable and I am grateful for every aspect of it. Being a part of such a “Big Family” has been an incredible experience and I am proud to have been a student at such a prestigious institution.
