Kevin Chui
Student of Higher Diploma in Information Technology (2012-2014)
HKU SPACE CC gave me a second chance. To start with, I actually did quite well in my HKDSE examinations. My 5 best subjects totaled 23, with a Level 5 in Maths, Physics and ICT. I even studied Maths M1, though only scoring Level 4. However, I ran into a fairly common problem with EMI secondary school students, some of us just cannot do well in Chinese Language. Sadly, I scored Level 2, where JUPAS decided to filter out all university applications of those who do not meet Level 3 for Chinese Language. So in JUPAS, I did not get any university offer to further my studies. To be fair, I saw that coming. HKDSE Chinese Language to me is like a lucky draw. Before the results were out, I had already applied for IT related higher diploma programmes through E-APP based on my interests, getting conditional offers from institutes in case I failed the lucky draw which I did. Among the offers, I picked the one from HKU SPACE CC as it was recommended by a friend who had just completed Year 1 HD IT studies here, and on top of that, associations with HKU itself is a quality assurance for the education provided. HKU SPACE CC has offered me a second chance, where I have received a university offer through advancing on my path to an IT career. However, it’s not as simple as learning things I am interested in. In my opinion, studying at HKU SPACE CC is closer to studying at university, or even to a real life working environment. In HKU SPACE CC, grade assessment involves group projects, and it’s common to bump into irresponsible people who do not care at all. With not much cooperation experience, I would say that studying in HKU SPACE CC is eye opening, gave me a good taste of worst case scenario working with people in real life, as well as how well it can go, and how people can achieve more working together. To conclude, HKU SPACE CC gave me an alternate path to university, and has taught me more than just IT.

It was a memorable and good experience to study in the College. During these two years of study, I equipped myself with academic knowledge and presentation skills which are useful for further studies. With assistance and encouragement from lecturers and schoolmates, I was able to overcome all the difficulties, and this made studying enjoyable.

Student of Higher Diploma in Information Technology (2012-2014)
Everyone has a dream of studying in university. Unfortunately, I failed my HKDSE. After receiving my HKDSE result, I didn’t know where I should go at that time. Thankfully, I got into HKU SPACE CC and gained a lot from the Higher Diploma in Information Technology (HD IT) programme. During these two years, I learnt a lot from my lecturers and friends; not only academically, but also life experience. Lecturers would kindly share their experiences to us, especially work experience and their stories. They would offer a helping hand when we are facing problems. Besides, friendship is also an important treasure you will get here. Happiness and sadness should be shared with your friends. For me, I got a low GPA in semester one. Fortunately, my friends and lecturers supported me and encouraged me to put more effort in my study. Now, I am striving for CCENT in the coming year. HD IT is about different domains of information technology, and I have chosen networking as my major subject. In the networking stream, lecturers taught us networking step-by-step. For hands-on experiments, we can use routers, switches and other network devices to practise our skill in controlling them. Frankly, it is interesting for us to control the network by our hands and knowledge. I can still remember the satisfaction of making the network function. Apart from academic life, HKU SPACE CC provided many chances to improve my CV. I was selected to participate into the 10th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition last year and awarded with merit. This competition has widened my horizons and expanded my resume, which is very useful for my future career. Last but not least, I am proud of being a student of Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme. Studying in HKU SPACE CC is not just only to learn knowledge, but also to bring a lot of unforgettable memories and make friends, who can fight for the goal together. Now, I am admitted to the Department of Computer Science at HKUST for my further study successfully.

失望和迷茫最適合形容我放榜時的心情,我選擇了港大附屬學院,因為中學老師都說港大附屬學院師資優良,升學率高,特別是升讀我夢想的學系-香港大學理學系。港大附屬學院細心的課程編排,講師的悉心教導,都令我對理學產生濃厚興趣。多問、多假設、多練習,是我在學院領略到的心法。同時,學院豐富了我的人際關係,好些同學成了摯友,講師也成了我的人生導師。我由衷的感謝港大附屬學院,一個令我成長、實現夢想的地方。

2013-14年度理學副學士二年級
在最後一屆高考放榜時,由於成績未達入大學的基本要求,感覺很失望。那時,不少中學同學和老師都稱讚港大附屬學院的課程設計,自己又喜歡科學,所以就決定入讀理學副學士。初入學時,不少的課程都較中學的程度深,需要付出大量時間溫習和練習,幸好我認識了一班好朋友一起努力。 學院有很多優秀的講師,每當我遇到困難,他們都樂於幫助及耐心教導,令我的成績飛躍進步。學院為我提供了一個學習的機會,增長知識,培養興趣,豐富我的人生。多謝港大附屬學院和各位講師。
