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

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

Studying in HKU SPACE Community College has brought me unforgettable memories. That was not only the hard life in study but also the learning environment. The lecturers are professional that they explain the topics effectively. They are also helpful and kind that they are willing to answer our questions patiently and providing us with a pleasant environment on study. I have met a lot of guys having the same goal as mine. We studied, learned and had discussions about what we got from the lectures. I was not alone whenever striving for my future in college because the teachers and my friends were always at my back to give me a great support. The college also provided me with lots of valuable information and resources on the related career path and development which guided me to the right planning for future. The knowledge and the skills I learnt from the college are really practical and useful today. The lessons in college were totally different from those in secondary school. The former ones were more interesting and more active. We could work on lab exercises more often. Therefore, my knowledge on computing has been enhanced with such plenty of practices. And these skills help me a lot when I was interviewed by the university. The experience in the college secured me with a ticket entering into university and equipped me well for the future. I am grateful for all that I have gained from the High Diploma in Information Technology Programme from HKU SPACE and now I have been successfully admitted to the Information Engineering at Chinese University of Hong Kong for further study.

I could still remember the bad days when I received my unsatisfactory result in HKDSE. I was at a very low ebb during that period of time. However, I did not lose my interest in information technology. Instead, I made a big decision to study in the Higher Diploma in Information Technology at HKU SPACE Community College. The learning experience and the atmosphere on my first day at HKU SPACE CC were still in my mind. The lecturers were willing to share their working experiences with us and the relationship between lecturers and students was very close. Moreover, they encouraged students to raise questions and discuss the topics together. I was majored in networking stream. During these two years, I have learned switching and routing knowledge and practical skills. The networking stream covers the professional knowledge with the supplement of industrial practice, which has laid the excellent foundations for us to obtain industrial certification in the future. Now, I am a holder of CCNA and I am striving for CCNP in the coming year. Apart from the great learning atmosphere, the programme also provides us with manifold laboratories and equipment. Meanwhile, it gave me lots of international exposure and opportunities. For instance, I was selected to participate into the 9th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition on HKU SPACE behalf last year and was awarded with merit at the end. These valuable experiences and achievements equipped me to become a university student with clear aspirations and confidence. I believe everyone should still have chance to strive for the final success regardless what HKDSE result he obtained at the beginning. It only depends on how much effort you have made on it. Now, I have been successfully admitted to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University for further study. HKU SPACE Community College has led me to a brighter future. Thank you. View Details

Two years ago, when I received my HKALE examination results, I was so frustrated as they were far below my expectations. I knew I would not be admitted to any universities with such results. Since then, I kept blaming myself for the failure and felt I had lost everything. A week later, I soon realized that successive feelings of depression were meaningless. As life still goes on, I had to plan for my future. Since I was so determined to receive tertiary education, rather than re-sitting the HKDSE exam, I decided to take HKU SPACE's Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme (HDIT). At the beginning, as I used to be a biology student who had not taken any IT related subjects before, I always doubted whether I was making the right choice and was afraid that I could not catch up with the lectures. Surprisingly, what I had been worrying about was totally unnecessary as I discovered that the lecturers there explained every aspect of their subjects in detail and were willing to answer whatever you had questioned about. Since the courses were carefully arranged, I could progressively learn things in an in-depth manner. Apart from theories learnt from the lectures, students were given plenty of time to use different computer programmes and devices so they would be able to obtain abundant hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge at the same time. Even if you have any enquiry other than studying, like furthering your studies or your career path, you can also consult the lecturers for advice. Two years passed, I have received offers from both HKU and HKUST. This can best demonstrate that entering HKU SPACE's HDIT programme is not at all a regretful option. At last, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to HKU SPACE Community College for providing me an alternative way of entering the university. View Details

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.
