大學學位，真的是遙不可及? 曾經，我兩次被考試擊倒。會考後再重讀中五，好不容易升讀預科，卻要面對另一考驗：高考。憑著不俗的成績，以為可以歡天喜地迎接來年的大學生活，不料卻失望而回，因為JUPAS Offer 只有一個酒店管理高級文憑。 我曾想過放棄，但身邊朋友不斷鼓勵我，建議我到港大附屬學院修讀高級文憑課程，既可有一技之長，也可以報讀大學！當時，我真的一點信心也沒有，心想哪有這麼容易的事。現在回想起來，幸好我做了明智的決定。 於是我選了Sales, Marketing and Advertising，課程與生活息息相關，一份理論，九份實踐。兩年的生活很充實，令我愈讀愈有信心。畢業那年，最令我意想不到的是我獲香港城市大學錄取，還有兩個Offers呢！所以，「一分耕耘一分收穫」的確是千真萬確。 大家一定要記著「俾心機，有轉機！」 View Details

還記得當年放榜，收到高考成績單後，心情十分焦慮。在短時間內必須選擇自己的路：到底應該繼續進修，還是找份長工度過餘生？ 經過深思熟慮，最後選擇報讀港大附屬學院商業學高級文憑課程，除了可為工作做好準備，從不同課外活動及實習機會中找尋自己真正的興趣，亦再次測試自己到底有沒有能力考進大學。皇天不負有心人，得到講師的悉心教導和指示，同學之間的鼓勵和支持，最後有幸獲得兩間大學取錄，繼續修讀喜歡的科目。 這兩年高級文憑生涯，讓我尋回自我，上了人生寶貴的一課。「態度勝過高度」，是一位講師常常提醒我們的，亦從此成為我人生的座右銘。在此再次感謝所有講師和同學。 View Details

Because of failure in public examination, I had low self-confidence and no hope towards my future. However, I experienced a turning point here. I started to study hard with passion, to become a committee member and speak publicly, and to believe in my ability. Definitely, I experienced moments of sorrow and fear. However, when you work hard, focus on the goals and keep moving on with perseverance, what you receive is far more than what you expect. I cherish memories of studying here. This is a journey of a lifetime. Let’s study hard, work hard and play hard. Believe yourself and you can do it. View Details

It was a memorable and good experience to study in the College. During these two years of study, I equipped myself with academic knowledge and presentation skills which are useful for further studies. With assistance and encouragement from lecturers and schoolmates, I was able to overcome all the difficulties, and this made studying enjoyable. View Details

HKU SPACE CC gave me a second chance. To start with, I actually did quite well in my HKDSE examinations. My 5 best subjects totaled 23, with a Level 5 in Maths, Physics and ICT. I even studied Maths M1, though only scoring Level 4. However, I ran into a fairly common problem with EMI secondary school students, some of us just cannot do well in Chinese Language. Sadly, I scored Level 2, where JUPAS decided to filter out all university applications of those who do not meet Level 3 for Chinese Language. So in JUPAS, I did not get any university offer to further my studies. To be fair, I saw that coming. HKDSE Chinese Language to me is like a lucky draw. Before the results were out, I had already applied for IT related higher diploma programmes through E-APP based on my interests, getting conditional offers from institutes in case I failed the lucky draw which I did. Among the offers, I picked the one from HKU SPACE CC as it was recommended by a friend who had just completed Year 1 HD IT studies here, and on top of that, associations with HKU itself is a quality assurance for the education provided. HKU SPACE CC has offered me a second chance, where I have received a university offer through advancing on my path to an IT career. However, it’s not as simple as learning things I am interested in. In my opinion, studying at HKU SPACE CC is closer to studying at university, or even to a real life working environment. In HKU SPACE CC, grade assessment involves group projects, and it’s common to bump into irresponsible people who do not care at all. With not much cooperation experience, I would say that studying in HKU SPACE CC is eye opening, gave me a good taste of worst case scenario working with people in real life, as well as how well it can go, and how people can achieve more working together. To conclude, HKU SPACE CC gave me an alternate path to university, and has taught me more than just IT. View Details

My learning journey on Information Technology dated back to two years ago when I joined the HKU SPACE Community College. A mass of practical knowledge provided here was certainly able to help me develop a career success in the IT industry through this programme. Obviously, a motto has always appeared in my mind after I have engaged in this programme, “Grades and results are not your goals for studying, competences should be the key thing for you to acquire here”. Applying the knowledge that we have learnt and equipping sufficient practical experience were the most valuable outcomes for me in these two years. The courses have equipped me with plenty of practical skills, the knowledge of IT governance, IS Audit and so on. It helps me realize the real life situation in this industry, rather than theories only. Meanwhile, all group projects and skill tests were able to strengthen my self-problem solving ability since we have to fix all predicaments that we faced on our own instead of seeking assistance all over the time. “No more relying on the others and waiting for the answer, try to solve it by yourself”. This might be the main feature of the educational culture of HKU SPACE Community College. When I look back in these two years, truly speaking, it is a treasurable chance for me to study at HKU SPACE Community College since the backgrounds and attitudes of the lecturers are tremendously professional and serious; their self-working experiences could be the guidance or model for you to step into the specific industry later on. And, these factors helped me acquire an excellent result and make use of scholarships for taking the examinations of different certificates, like ITIL, CISSP and CISA. Consequently, HKU SPACE CC has helped me build up a career success and provided something for which the universities might not be able to do so. View Details
