Au Pok Yin, Lawrence Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Security Stream, 2012-2014)

As the old proverb says, “Failure teaches success”. I have been studying at HKU SPACE Community College for two years since I finished my DSE public examination. It is unbelievable to see that I can get into the university for advanced studies. After the DSE public examination, I was depressed about my results and didn’t manage to get into any university. It upset me for a while and my dream was broken. I was so puzzled that I had no idea about whether I should continue my studies or just drop out and work for a living. Fortunately, I made an important decision to give myself one more chance to study a Higher Diploma for getting into university. Then, I decided to study the higher diploma in Information Technology at HKU SPACE CC as it was highly recommended by my relatives and friends. Not only did I gain a solid grounding in the basic techniques of IT, but this is also another path that could lead to success. I have been interested in IT since I was in secondary school. I always have had a great sense of fulfilment and success after accomplishing a programme. With my keen interest, determination and learning strategies, I believe that I can rise to the upcoming challenge of this Programme and manage to reach the goal. During the past two years of studies, I have realized that I am not as smart as others. Therefore, I have put a lot of effort into my studies, assignments and preparations for the examination. Apart from my endeavour, I appreciate the help from my lecturers who are willing to share their experiences and professional advice with me. During these courses, I have gained invaluable exposure to new skills, developed interpersonal relationships and professional knowledge in HKU SPACE CC. All in all, what I have gained from HKU SPACE CC has equipped me for getting into university. To me, my goal of going to university is still attainable and I am now well prepared for facing the upcoming demands. View Details

Kwok Hoi Kit Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream, 2012-2014)

Time flies when you are having fun. My college life in HKU SPACE has come to an end yet I have had a great life and I have no regrets. Two years ago, I was enroled in Higher Diploma in Information Technology through non-jupas application. My knowledge about IT was very limited but I was given sufficient guidance and information about what I should do and what I am required to do. After the first semester, I knew what I want and what I am interested. Therefore, I chose Networking Technology as my major of Higher Diploma in Information Technology. My study within these two years is fruitful and joyful. I have made lots of friends and maintained good relationships with my lecturers. I enjoy the school life here. In addition, the way of study has changed substantially when it jumped from secondary school to Higher Diploma programme. I realize that we should be more self-initiative at the very beginning. The most significant difference between Higher Diploma and Associated Degree is the learning system. Associated degree curriculum focuses more on further education while higher diploma concentrates on the professional training for career path. Knowledge and skills I have learnt from this high diploma in Information Technology are valuable that can be applied to our daily life. To conclude, I am glad about my study in HKU SPACE. I have learnt lots here in both academic and practical aspects. Now, I’ve received an offer from an UGC funded university for my further study based on my achievement in HKU SPACE. I am ready to accept the challenges on my road ahead. View Details

Lam Tung Hung Isaac 2013-14 年度應用科學副學士（資訊科技）二年級學生

我曾經和你一樣，在網上看到很多學生分享，那時我正在考慮報讀港大附屬學院的課程；時移世易，卻換成了我的故事。我的故事就如其他師兄師姐：在學院的生活非常快樂自由，同學親切，老師很有耐性，眼界大開...... 然而，這兩年的學習令我明白到一件事：如果希望升讀大學，副學士是一個不錯的機會，只要願意付出便會有收獲。當然這句老生常談說明的並不是全部，當中還有些要注意的地方：首個學期是十分重要的，如果GPA分數不好，跟後的學期就會容易放棄；所以開學時必先盡快收拾心情，適應大專生活。另外，培養個人興趣很重要，有興趣的話做任何事都會事半功倍；選擇自己喜歡和有信心的科目，不要怕發問問題，跟講師多交流令我有不少得著。最後，就是對自己增多一點信心；因為下一位獲邀請分享經驗的學生，很可能是你！ View Details

黃偉健 2013-14年度應用科學副學士（計算機工程）二年級學生

失望的公開試成績，喚醒我考入本地大學的決心，重燃心中追尋大學夢的火焰。考入大學的途徑五花八門，而我則決定選擇港大附屬學院來完成夢想。在此之前，我從沒有修讀任何與資訊科技相關的課程。作為資訊科技界新人，起初心中的確存在著一份惶恐，深恐自己底子與能力都不及他人。不過與其受恐懼的煎熬，何不轉換心態，相信自己實力，為自己拼博一回？學院講師相當有心，我親切感受到他們對教學的熱誠。每當我遇到本科上的學習困難時，他們總會不厭其煩地重新講解一遍，使我的電腦概念愈見清晰，知識隨之而豐富。與此同時，我在學院認識了一群志同道合的好友，交流學習心得，並肩作戰，試問還有甚麼值得擔憂？非聯招報名的策略是相當重要的，同學應清楚了解自己的實力和興趣，善用學校資源，選擇既相關又合符個人能力的科目。切忌心頭過高，道聽途說，因而浪費良機。人，可以輸上千百萬次，但必須要嬴在最後一次。港大附屬學院，就是要獲得最後勝利的地方。送上我的座右銘 ─「人定勝天，命運掌握在自己手中！」願共勉之。 View Details

Chau Wang, Jason Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream, 2012-2014)

HKU SPACE Community College offers the best learning place for students who are struggling for further studies after the public examination. I gained a lot from High Diploma in Information Technology (HDIT). From both inside and outside the classroom, the learning atmosphere as well as the kind and experienced lecturers always stimulate my interest and arouse my passion in studying Information Technologies. I no longer regard myself as a loser. When I first came in here, I had a strong faith in my mind: “This is a brand new chance for me to start over, I can make it.” To achieve my goal, I put the largest efforts that I could. I reviewed everything I had learnt in the classes once I returned home every day. Even when I commuted to school, I read the notes on MTR in order not to waste any of my time. Finally, my hard work was rewarded by different university offers in Hong Kong. HDIT programme not only taught us subjects theoretically but also assisted us with numerous practical labs and step-by-step demonstrations in class. Anything we learnt from the lessons can be applied to our daily life directly and practically. Besides, I deeply appreciated the final year project which provided us with an opportunity to work as a team and applied what we had learnt these two years. The study at the college has reinforced my confidence and changed my attitudes of learning and studying. I am proud to become an all-round IT student with all necessary skills I learnt from the courses. All in all, the Higher Diploma in Information Technology in HKU SPACE Community College is a challenging and fascinating programme that equips students with professional IT knowledge and practical skills for the future studies and career development.

Wong Ching Ki 2013-14 Associate of Social Sciences (General Theme A - Psychology), Year 2

I got a HKU offer of 4-year Social Sciences programme. In fact,I didn't think that I would get this offer before interview. I just consider that if I apply this programme, I have 50% to get the offer; if I don't apply this programme, I have 0% to get the offer. After the interview, I felt satisfied with my performance. But I i didn't think about it anymore. "I do the best, God do the rest!" To me, I believe if something belong to me, they will belong to me, and vice versa. We should have faith that God has something better in store. Anyway, thanks people who help me and support me! View Details
