Chan Wai Lun, Tom
The Airport Authority Hong Kong- Operation Officer
Being a pilot is many teenagers’ dream, including me. However, it is definitely not an easy task, even we seldom gain knowledge related to aviation in our daily life. During the first year of study, I have gained a lot of basic aviation knowledge, like aeronautical knowledge, safety management skills and airport operation. We could even try to do a risk management project for helicopter operation and had a chance to visit the hangar of HAECO. Those learning experiences were really gratifying as I have always been an aviation enthusiast. And then before the start of year 2 study, I did have an opportunity to work with the aviation industry, I was a ground service staff and air cargo service officer. Those experiences let me transfer my knowledge learnt from classroom to practical skills applied in the industry. When proceeding to year 2, I further gained more comprehensive understanding of the operation of aviation industry, like air traffic management, human and environmental factors in aviation operation etc. The final year project also made me understand how team work and effective communication could be useful in business aviation. I also joint the International Federation of Airworthiness safety forum in Hong Kong, which gave me a chance to observe and realize what was happening inside the industry and what expertise they were focusing on. During my whole study of HD AS, I had joined two overseas aviation trips. I went to Beijing, Tianjin and Chengdu respectively to visit their aviation institutions and companies like Airbus production line in Tianjin and Beihang University in Beijing. Chengdu has always acted as an aviation hub like Hong Kong. Other than visiting aviation institutions and companies, we also toured the aircraft parts factory and maintenance hangar there. Now, I am continuing my study in university, but I believe what I learnt in CC will be beneficial to me life-long, especially to my career development in aviation industry.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Social Science
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!
