Pauline Wong Po Ling 2019-2021 Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene

Being one of the clinical patients for more than ten years in the Prince Philip Dental Hospital, I am very used to sitting in the dental chair. Yet, it’s a completely different experience sitting behind it as a dental hygienist. It was not as easy as it seems, with the responsibility of maintaining the periodontal health of patients, it’s essential to acquire relevant knowledge and apply it clinically. The most challenging condition was that some oral conditions of the patients were beyond or ahead of the theoretical syllabus, which means that I might need to study in advance under the supervision of tutors and instructors in order to manage the oral health of my current patients. I think this is one of the very important qualities to study dentistry or to be a dental hygienist, to be responsible to the patients by learning actively and continuously. Bounded by the scope of dental hygienists, I always require prescription and help from the dentists to treat the patients comprehensively, so I am very pleased that the dental hygiene program provides me with the opportunity to learn dental knowledge from different aspects to understand how a hygienist could maximize his or her role to cooperate with the dental team and to optimize the dental health of patients. Finally, I would like to give my greatest gratitude to all the teaching staff under the dental hygiene programme. Without their help, I could not meet the standard of a qualified registered dental hygienist. View Details

Sheng Leung Cheung, Casado 2013-14 Associate of Engineering, Year 1

My time in HKU SPACE CC has been an enlightening experience on multiple levels. While the courses here have provided me with vast amounts of contextual knowledge, I also picked up valuable habits which I am certain will be beneficial as I continue my academic endeavours. The greatest challenge that I had to overcome was adjusting to a new education system. In high school, teachers often – figuratively speaking – held student’s hands along the process. Students were expected to attend for about seven hours of schooling every day from Monday through Friday. The scheme in CC is completely different, teaching hours vary greatly and so time management was essential. I quickly realized that I had to improve my old lifestyle in order to prevent work from accumulating. I learned the importance of discipline and scheduling so I could effectively balance my studies, hobbies and social life. Experiencing this change is necessary for any scholar that wishes to further their academic career into the university level, as it will be the same then. Another welcoming gesture was that many lecturers willingly shared their personal experiences with students to prepare us for adversities we might face in the future. Despite having very busy schedules, lecturers excelled both inside and outside the classrooms. The many discussions I had with all my lecturers often proved very fruitful. Lecturers always provided insight not only on the course they taught but also on how that specific course related to Engineering or simply life as a whole. The new environment also served as a great means for cultural enrichment. Having graduated from an international school, I did not have much insight about local students, but after these past few months I have made various friendships which have exposed me to another side of Hong Kong. I re-established the respect that I have for education as I became aware of the trials and tribulations that others have to face and was reminded that I have to cherish the opportunities I have. HKU SPACE CC taught me that education at the post-secondary level is not mandatory, it is a voluntary decision and thus it is a commitment in which the amount of success one can enjoy is directly proportional to the amount of effort one puts in. It is this philosophy that gives me the courage and certainty to take my next step in life. View Details

CHAN Hon Fai David 2017-18 Associate of Social Sciences (Sociology)

Studying at HKU SPACE Community College, I experienced many things that I would otherwise not. CC gave me a brand new opportunity to delve into the subject that I was interested in. Besides, the Social Sciences discipline here let students explore different themes in year 1. This allowed us to make a more informed and knowledgeable choice before selecting the theme. Having undergone the 2 years of study, I would like to encourage you that: DSE IS MERELY ONE OF MANY WAYS. WHEN THERE IS HOPE THERE IS A WAY! View Details

Ebisutani Eri 2014-16 Graduate of Associate of Arts (Languages and Humanities) (Bilingual Studies)

I studied General English III, English for Academic and Professional Purposes I & II and English for Arts and Humanities. These are core English courses in studying the associate degree programme. I found these courses really helpful to my further studies in the Arts field. These courses have allowed me to establish a solid foundation in English, and gradually guided me to write academically. Apart from English proficiency, I gained the skill of critical thinking and data analysis, which has equipped me with the key to open the world of academic studies, so that I could understand the theories proposed by other scholars in their paper and then come up with my own ideas. I had many opportunities to execute what I learnt in class through presentations and projects. The class activities were something I enjoyed too, as I could exchange opinions with classmates. Moreover, the teachers encouraged my learning. They provided valuable advice when I came across any problem. All in all, these English courses boosted my academic writing skills in many aspects. Throughout the learning process, I gained much enjoyment and satisfaction. View Details

Jackson Chan 2011年商業學高級文憑（市場營銷及廣告）

回想起那個常常不發一語的自己，在港大附屬學院修讀的兩年間，令我脫胎換骨。修讀市場學的學生，往往能透過學院提供的不同機會，例如：專業人士講座、營商比賽及實習計劃等，發揮潛能。當中教我最為印象深刻的，是和組員一起經過一整年時間，以數不盡的心血完成的畢業作品。在製作畢業專題習作的計劃書期間，由構思產品特性、市場策略及宣傳廣告概念等，所運用的知識及技巧，都是從講師及課程中學到的。到最後能夠在一眾講師及學生面前報告及獲獎，實在令人鼓舞！畢業後，我經由香港大學專業進修學院國際學位課程中心，升讀澳洲科廷大學商學士（廣告與市場學）課程，學懂更多市場學及廣告學的專業知識；我現時身處澳洲修讀碩士課程，認識很多來自澳洲本土、德國、馬來西亞等國家的同學舍友，擴闊眼界及社交圈子。在此，我衷心感謝學院的悉心栽培，圓了我的大學夢。 View Details
