Lo See Heng, Rolex Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream, 2011-13)

In 2011, after finishing my HKALE Life I decided to study the Higher Diploma in Information Technology. This programme emphasizes both theory and practice, which provides me a clear path for my future study or career. The course provided a lot of professional Networking information, by following the Official Cisco Academy Programme. Also, excellent laboratories and equipment are provided for helping me to solidify my understanding of networking concepts. The lecturers have excellent experience in the related fields. They always share their real case scenarios and experiences for our projects and assignments. Besides, I participated in the Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition, which gave me a chance to test my knowledge that I have learnt in the lectures. Now I am a Network Security Engineer of one of the network security companies in Hong Kong. These valuable experiences and knowledge that I have learnt have supported me in the daily tasks of my job and further study. Thank you HKU SPACE CC for giving me a chance to study here and equipping me with such precious knowledge. View Details

Au Ching Mei, Envose 2013-14 年度應用科學副學士（計算機科學）二年級學生

當初想繼續學業，所以在公開試放榜後報讀副學士課程，選讀了我感興趣的電腦學科。優秀的師資，加上講師非常樂意解答我學業上的疑難，讓我學習更容易上手，打下良好堅實的電腦基礎；在升學選擇上，講師給予很多有用的意見，提醒我們盡早準備充足。隨着對電腦學科的認識加深，我更加喜愛這課程，皆因它讓我能夠發揮所長。在港大附屬學院的兩年是非常寶貴的經驗。我在這裏得以重新振作，成長了很多。尤其是心態上的轉變，由當初對未來感到徬徨，到現在能夠堅定地朝着目標進發，著實得來不易。很感謝在學院認識到的講師和好友，他們的關懷與支持，令我明白自己並不是孤軍作戰，也讓我擁有更寬容開朗的心態。 View Details

Lai Ka Chun, Jacky Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream, 2012-2014)

Recalling the moment I received my DSE result, it was a nightmare. I knew that the result (Best 5/4C1X: 18) would not allow me to be admitted to any local universities in JUPAS. I was panicked because I knew nothing about any alternative paths like sub-degrees. Knowing the good reputation of HKU SPACE CC, I summoned up my courage and did a walk-in application for any IT programme. And I reckon that I have made an absolute right choice. The two years spent in HKU SPACE CC was not easy, but fruitful. The Higher Diploma programme not only equips students with skills that are of good use to future career, but also provides chances for students to further their studies at university. Most of the lecturers once held high positions in the workplace so that they can share their work experiences with students, and these experiences are invaluable. These experiences help students to overpower other candidates when hunting for a job. Besides, their working experiences reveal a deeper understanding of the IT field. They know what the trend is and help us tremendously when deciding our further path as an IT Professional. The relationship between lecturers and students are close. Such relationships encourage interaction between students and lecturers. I used to be a very passive learner (And dare not to raise questions) but in HKU SPACE CC I was encouraged to raise questions. The learning atmosphere is much better than that in secondary school. I think this facilitates learning efficiency a lot and my confidence in learning was established again. Apart from career-related stuff, the College has also given us enormous help when dealing with applications to various universities. There are workshops about writing a personal statement (An essential piece of writing for you to promote yourself to university), attending university interviews and even filling in the university application form. To be concise, you will be well equipped so to gain an upper hand in the application. Thank you HKU SPACE CC! View Details

Enid Lam Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Web and Multimedia Development Stream, 2012-2013)

As a final HKALE candidate in 2012, I was disheartened by my examination results which did not enable me to be admitted to university. I was confused about my future. I thought my dream of university life was broken. Fortunately, I chose to study the Higher Diploma in Information Technology at HKU SPACE Community College. After a year, my dream came true. The College life is completely different from secondary school. During this year, I have learnt many practical skills in IT and the College has provided me with abundant resources for my study. The schedule of classes wasn’t tight so that I have studied without pressure. Meanwhile, I can have the right balance between rest and study. The lecturers are very supportive and always share their experience with us. The most important thing is that they have helped me to build up self-confidence. I believe I will rise to the challenge in my further studies, and be capable to solve any problems that come my way. Studying in HKU SPACE CC was an unforgettable year. This provided me with a springboard for the admission to the Bachelor of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong. View Details

Morris Ling Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream, 2010-2013)

This Information Technology programme arouses my curiosity in exploring networking technology and provides solid skills for the future job market. The programme’s curriculum is very practical for me to obtain relevant industrial certificates. I really enjoyed studying at HKU SPACE CC. The lecturers are willing to share their life experiences and interact with us more often. I am not only learned the concrete skills and knowledge but also the diligent working attitude from them. Moreover, the programme provided a lot of opportunities to broaden my horizon. For instance, I joined the 8th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition last year and won the 1st runner-up. That was my valuable experience at the College. In 2011, I was awarded the Principal's Honours List 2010-2011 and HKU SPACE Community College Scholarship 2011. In 2012, I joined the 8th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition 2012 (1st runner-up), also I was awarded HKU SPACE College Scholarships 2012. In 2013, I was admitted to the UGC-funded degree programme of Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and I was also awarded the Self-financing Post-secondary Scholarship Scheme 2012-2013 from HKSAR. In addition to my hands-on achievement, I have also been successfully admitted to the UGC-funded degree programme at The Chinese University of Hong Kong this year. I hope everyone will enjoy their school life during their study at HKU SPACE Community College. View Details
