Currently, I hold the position of a full-time research assistant while also pursuing a part-time Master's in Philosophy (MPhil) degree at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HK Poly U). As an applicant who was not under the Joint University Programmes Admissions System (non-JUPAS), I received valuable support and information from my teachers during my time studying the HD Nutrition and Food Management programme, which helped me secure offers from local UGC universities, namely, CUHK and HK PolyU. Ultimately, I chose to pursue my studies in the BSc Food Safety and Nutrition programme at HK PolyU, where I was able to transfer certain courses taken in the HD NFM, such as Physiology and Biochemistry. The HD NFM programme provided a solid foundation in nutritional sciences and prepared me for the challenges of university education. Additionally, the skills learnt during the programme, such as conducting diet record interviews and anthropometric measurements, have proved useful in my current job centered around nutrition research.

Two years ago, when I received my HKALE examination results, I was so frustrated as they were far below my expectations. I knew I would not be admitted to any universities with such results. Since then, I kept blaming myself for the failure and felt I had lost everything. A week later, I soon realized that successive feelings of depression were meaningless. As life still goes on, I had to plan for my future. Since I was so determined to receive tertiary education, rather than re-sitting the HKDSE exam, I decided to take HKU SPACE's Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme (HDIT). At the beginning, as I used to be a biology student who had not taken any IT related subjects before, I always doubted whether I was making the right choice and was afraid that I could not catch up with the lectures. Surprisingly, what I had been worrying about was totally unnecessary as I discovered that the lecturers there explained every aspect of their subjects in detail and were willing to answer whatever you had questioned about. Since the courses were carefully arranged, I could progressively learn things in an in-depth manner. Apart from theories learnt from the lectures, students were given plenty of time to use different computer programmes and devices so they would be able to obtain abundant hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge at the same time. Even if you have any enquiry other than studying, like furthering your studies or your career path, you can also consult the lecturers for advice. Two years passed, I have received offers from both HKU and HKUST. This can best demonstrate that entering HKU SPACE's HDIT programme is not at all a regretful option. At last, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to HKU SPACE Community College for providing me an alternative way of entering the university. View Details

I really enjoyed taking the course “Working with Older People”. It is an experiential-learning course. I could try to design activities for them under lecturer's instructions.

Before knowing about new media, I felt frustrated in study as I would never achieve a satisfying result no matter how much effort I made. Coincidently, I met New Media and Communication. I found it to be interesting for me and gave me fuller motivation to get deeper into it. This course emphasizes practical techniques rather than theories. In these two years, I have become familiar with market analysis, photography, video shooting, softwares such as Premiere, After Effect, Illustrator etc. The most impressive experience was the studying trip in Japan. Visiting Japanese TV studio and media school broaden my knowledge. Overall, New Media and Communication provides comprehensive new media knowledge which gives me a clear future direction and career path. View Details

因中學時期不曾修讀中國文學科，在副學士課程中毅然選擇中國語言、文學及文化為主修，起初猶恐心有餘而力不足，然修讀相關課程後卻發現當中趣味盎然，此後學習自然轄然開朗。興趣是最好的老師，所謂「知之者不如好之者，好之者不如樂之者」，了解自己的興趣所在，寓學於樂，自能遊刃有餘。 副學士也許並非是同學心中所想的「大道」，但條條大路通羅馬，副學士亦不失為寶貴的學習及人生經驗。副學士學科選擇繁多，除書本知識，亦有培養思維、人文素養的選修科供同學選擇。此外，老師的良言忠告，同學間的砥礪勸勉亦是另一珍貴回憶、收穫，日後回想，有若三月春風，暖人心扉。 有謂「學之廣在於不倦，不倦在於固志」，同學若能清楚目標、興趣所在，學習也就自然得心應手。 View Details

This programme enables me to develop advanced business knowledge and build a global perspective. Our lecturers are supportive and nice. Not only did they teach me business knowledge, but they also provided suggestions when I had any difficulties. I feel motivated to learn at HKU SPACE Community College. View Details
