It was a tough time when I found out that I had failed to get a place in a local university two years ago. It was HKU SPACE CC that gave me the opportunity to keep learning and better equip myself for the future. Aviation had long been my interest but it turned into my study major, enabling me to pursue my dream in the future. Apart from regular lectures on aviation-related knowledge, the College programme team offered us various internships and part-time working opportunities, as well as a lot of relevant activities throughout the two-year programme. Being able to really work in the field helped consolidate my own knowledge and exposed me to some new things that couldn’t be learnt in the classroom. I am really happy that I had these precious practical experiences. I believe these real-life working experiences did help me a lot in gaining admission to university two years later, and will definitely help me in the future when developing my career path. A lot of people see the study of sub-degree programmes as a waste of time and money, but I think, on the contrary, these two-years enabled me to think about what I wanted my ideal future to be, and turn it into reality. The time in the College is not only about academic achievement but about whole-person development as well. So please don’t close yourself off from society. Seize the opportunity and enrich your life in CC!

I must say these two years of college studies will always be the most valuable chapters in my life.

I am Anthony, a year 2 student who loves and enjoys devoting myself to the aviation industry. Here is my 'adventure' in HKU SPACE CC. To start with, I would like to describe my academic experiences. All the lecturers from my course are industry specialists. Although they always have a tight schedule, they have fully supported to me if I encounter any difficulties. What's more, they have used their wide connections in the industry and prepared numerous site visits for students such as Cathay Pacific City and Heliservices. Apart from study and site visits, our College offers a variety of internship opportunities to us. For me, I have been working in Cathay Pacific Services Ltd. from January 2014. It has strengthened my knowledge and I have gained practical experience which benefits my future career and gives me a general picture of the ‘real world’. The College also organised various study trips for students. I took part in three international events: the Singapore Airshow 2014, the China Airshow 2014 and the Asia-Pacific Aviation Education & Training Symposium. In these events, we chatted with representatives of well-known organisations (e.g. Airbus, Boeing) and they always answered with a detailed explanation. It allowed us to learn cutting-edge technology from international talents. Sometimes, we exchanged contact details with them (i.e. Facebook and LinkedIn). And now to the most exciting part in my school life – Orientation Camp. From planning to holding, the programme team was not involved too much and students were the role players in this event. Better still, we could meet many new students and build up a positive relationship with them and guide them to the right way if they came across any difficulties. All in all, our programme provides vast and limitless opportunities for us. You can gain many valuable experiences unless you choose to miss out on the opportunities that are waiting for you. I hope you will join with us and be a next generation talent. Hope to see you soon! “Beware of missing chances; otherwise it may be too late someday” – Franz Liszt
