Ho Kwong Pang Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream, 2010-2013)

As a student of Higher Diploma in Information Technology from 2010 to 2013, I truly enjoyed the time in HKU SPACE CC. This programme not only provided me with fundamental knowledge and skills, but also motivated my progression in professional career development and helped me shaping the right direction toward study and work. I was not successful in HKALE but I didn’t start it over again the next year. Instead, I entered the foundation year of this IT programme. Being a post-secondary student without any relevant IT knowledge and experience, I was a bit worried about the road ahead in HKU SPACE CC at first. Fortunately, the curriculum came in from the ground up. I was on the right track of both academic study and practical training. Lectures and classmates were very kind and helpful, and I had the joy of learning something new, interesting and challenging. Having specialized in Networking study for two years, I learned the concrete switching and routing knowledge in addition to other soft skills. The Networking Stream covered the professional knowledge with the supplement of industrial practice, which provided us a good foundation to obtain industrial certification in the future. Moreover, I was honored to participate on the College’s behalf in the 8th and 9th Cisco Hong Kong–Macau Youth Networking Skills Competitions and was awarded the 1st runner-up. These valuable experiences were very useful for me in further study. Within these years, the IT courses enabled me to learn how to become an IT professional and get several valuable achievements: 2010-2011 • Principal’s Honours List 2010 - 2011 2011-2012 • Principal’s Honours List 2011 - 2012 • The 8th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition 2012 - 1st runner-up • HKSAR Self-financing Post-secondary Scholarship Scheme 2012 - Outstanding Performance Scholarship • “Cisco Certified Network Associate” Certificate 2012-2013 • Principal’s Honours List 2012 - 2013 • Academic Excellence Award • The 9th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition 2013 – 1st runner-up • HKSAR Self-financing Post-secondary Scholarship Scheme 2013 – Outstanding Performance Scholarship • Passed Cisco Certified Network Professional-route Exam Now, I am the student of UGC-funded degree programme at the City University of Hong Kong. Studying Computer Science, I find that the knowledge and experiences obtained from the Higher Diploma is really helpful. I appreciate the chance that allowed me to find my real interest in academics and having further study in university. I hope everyone would enjoy his or her school life at HKU SPACE CC. View Details

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

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

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

Lo Chun Yin 2013-14 Associate of Engineering, Year 1

在這裏學習，最重要的就是自己的心態。謹記着以往公開試失敗的同時，也不能自悲，要相信自己的能力，保持一個積極自信的心態去迎接各項的挑戰。另外，課程講師十分友善，除了專業授課外，還很關心同學。在課堂外，無論是學術或升學問題，講師們都很樂於傾聽及提供意見，我非常感激他們。最後，學院的學習模式雖與中學不同，自由度較大，更講求同學的自侓性；但只要找到自己的興趣，自然就會學懂自侓。在此，希望大家都能重拾對知識的渴求。 View Details
