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。 View Details

Mark Ng 2014-16 Associate of Business Administration, Year 2 (Finance Theme)

I am so lucky to have chosen HKU SPACE Community College to pursue my Associate Degree in Business Administration. Two years ago, when I was planning to choose Business as my major, many people discouraged me by saying that it is extremely difficult to get an offer from universities because the competition is too keen. Luckily, I insisted on my decision and the results turned out to be quite the opposite. Now, I have four admission offers from top universities in Hong Kong and most importantly, I can see my growth in the business studies. There are three elements in HKU SPACE CC that contributed to my success today. First, the lecturers are always willing to help. For example, they organised several mock interviews to help us prepare for the university interviews. We could also consult them with our personal statements writing and career development. With the help of several lecturers in HKU SPACE CC, my team won the champion of the ACCA Business Competition 2015, which definitely broadened my horizon and added more value to my resume. Second, the Student Development & Counselling Services (SDCS) is extremely helpful; they regularly organise talks about interview skills and university admission, and besides I can also check out the records on university admission and interview questions from the past years. With all this useful information, I understand more about the university admission and interviews. Third, school exchange and internship were also wonderful experiences. I joined school exchange to Beijing and Taiwan last summer, and an internship with Habitat for Humanity Hong Kong; these experiences not only allowed me to meet more friends from different cultures, but also strengthened my business-related skills.

Chan Yiu Fung Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Information Security and Ethical Hacking Stream, 2014-16)

I have had the greatest time of my life studying in HKU SPACE CC. For whoever refuses to join the competition of “whoever gets the best grades in HKDSE utterly wins everything in life”, I sincerely recommend you to consider joining HKU SPACE Community College for studying what you want, have an opportunity to enter the university, and kick start your amazing talent machine if you have yet to find out what your true talent is. An extraordinary gift was given to everybody when they were born, but they can never discover it if they spend most of their time studying subjects that they have no interest in. Understanding your interest can unveil your natural talent and further help you to perform amazing tasks that you thought impossible in the past. The lecturers always say to us “Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen”. I did not believe this at first, because I was uncertain about my study in information technology which I thought would be very similar to my study in my previous school. It turns out that my knowledge of information technology was too limited. There is no limit to knowledge, in HKU SPACE CC, I can choose the information technology specialty that I want to study, which I was expected to be just like most of the community colleges out there, “programming” or “networking”. But here is an extra specialty, “information security” which is so interesting that I had to choose it. Occasionally, we hit a brick wall when we study difficult topics, but the lecturers are so unlike the typical school teachers, they are super willing to explain everything we study, their passion motivates us, led us to discipline ourselves, to study harder every day. As a consequence, we can overcome any difficulties with the skills and knowledge we learnt here, helping us to become competent students. It is true that “something wonderful is about to happen”.

Lily So BA in English Studies, CityU (Year 3)

兩年的課程令我明白到翻譯絕非易事，而且同一個翻譯問題有不同的解決方法，很感謝講師使我明白這些道理。雖然在大學我並不是主修翻譯，但兩年所得的經驗讓我更有動力地去學習與語言有關的知識。 View Details

李穎儀文學副學士（語言及人文學科） - 中國語言、文學及文化

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

Hui Ka Yin, Aldi Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Information Security and Ethical Hacking Stream, 2014-16)

When I still was a Form 5 student, my friend who had studied in HD IT showed me information about the security stream. It was the first time to hear about the programme and I found it interesting. After the HKDSE results had been released, he even took me to the Kowloon East Campus for the HD IT application. That was the beginning of my life in HKU SPACE CC. Some rumors declare that it is so hard to get a high GPA in the security stream. I hesitated at that time as to whether I should study this subject. It was a big challenge, but I still selected it as my further study area. I have never regretted to make the decision. Lecturers always introduce the knowledge with their working experience. So we can clearly understand the key points or the ideas within the notes. This knowledge will equip us to be professionals. I feel lucky to study in HKU SPACE CC HD IT. Besides the knowledge, lecturers even share their attitudes on how to treat others. We have to consider other's views. That's why I consider the tuition fee is worth it. I am pleased to accept the offer from Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computing and Information System of HKBU. It will be a new stage for me to study. What the lecturers in HKU SPACE CC taught me can definitely help in my future studying and working. There is no difference between the salted fish and us if we don't have a dream. Lots of candidates just strive to study at university, but some of them have never thought about what job they want to do. I have found out. Being an information security professional is my dream. It pushes me to study hard. I hope that I can share my professional knowledge and experience with others. Security issues should be paid attention. I will strive my best to work in this field. All the knowledge that I learn will be included in my knowledge database to support my future job. I wish that I can make some contribution to the industry as well as the world. View Details
