Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Computing Stream, 2016-17)
Personally, this year has been my year of self-reflection and self-evaluation. You may be doubting yourself right now, but trust me, I had been in the same place. I can tell you that the best thing to do now is to treat this as a new beginning, and that’s exactly what I did in HKU SPACE CC. It is a good thing I have picked the right place to pursue my education. HKU SPACE CC provides a strong supportive backbone for students’ success, where workshops, seminars, mock interviews, counselling services and even visit to a tech company were available for enriching our education, and of course I utilized all of them for my academic success. Not enough? Believe it, lecturers and staffs will listen to what you have to say if you hit them with an email. With CC’s emphasis on team building, I got to meet many great people during group projects, and I managed to score some lifelong friends too! The programme of Higher Diploma in Information Technology provides you with wide range of knowledge that are both suitable for the workplace and further studies. Majority of the lecturers are not only equipped with course related expertise, but also with insights of the IT industry. Don’t be afraid to chat with them. Instead, you should take your learning outside of your classrooms whenever possible! Our lecturers also encourage us to explore with possibilities. Be it working in a big tech company, going to universities or creating the next big hit tech gadget. Before HKU SPACE CC, I already knew how to write a computer application on my own. However, after studying at CC, I know how to manage a project team, to enhance security and to troubleshoot networking problems in my application. From an elementary student in ICT, I have now become a more comprehensive student, ready to take on any challenges thrown in my way. Thanks to this programme, staffs and the teachers who have taught me, my passion in IT has been consolidated, and now I’m ready to take my education to the next level. My advice to you is to make alliance with people with common goals, take initiative inside and outside of your classrooms and at last, have a fantastic time in HKU SPACE CC, which I’m sure you will. At the end, I’d like to give a shout out to the ladies out there who are interested in IT but afraid to make the first step. With determination and hard work, you can get anywhere! If you ever feel lonely walking on this not yet popular path, come find me and we can empower each other in this endeavour!
