BSSc in Geography and Resource Management, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Year 3)
HKU SPACE CC has given me different kinds of geography knowledge, including physical and human geography, which prepared me for studying in the university after two years of study. Field trips were also awesome, and I have widened my horizon. On top of that, the lectures were caring and always gave guidance to us, which also helped us achieve great academic achievement and proceeded to the university. I really enjoyed the journey at CC.

Flight Operations Officer, SATS HK LTD.
First of all, I developed a passion for the aviation industry at a young age. I believe that passion plays a very important role in one's career, and it has fueled my enduring interest in joining the industry. Right after completing secondary school, I knew I had to study at HKU SPACE CC, majoring in Aviation Studies, due to its expertise in this field. During my two years at HKU SPACE CC, I became familiar with the aviation field.
Although I had been to many site visits and joined programs as a delegate while in secondary school, I still had very little knowledge of the day-to-day jobs available inside airlines, apart from Cabin Crews, Pilots, and ATC. Courses like Aircraft Weight Balance and Dispatch, Air Traffic Management, Human Factors, Statistics, Risk Management, and Safety Awareness allowed me to become familiar with the jobs and options that I can have after graduation.
If you are interested in aviation and don't know what you want to be or are not familiar with your career path, this course is a good starting point for you. After finishing the course, I can assure you that you will have a clear pathway with the guidance of the teachers and internship opportunities.

Lai Pik Lai, Betty
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Aviation Operations and Systems, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Two years ago, when I received my DSE result, I chose to study a Higher Diploma programme as I didn’t received any offer for a bachelor’s degree programme. I had no idea about aviation before I took up the studies. I chose this programme because of a simple reason. I love travelling! Now, I can say that I’m glad I’ve made the right decision.
At HKU SPACE CC, I have learned a lot of aviation knowledge such as basic aeronautical knowledge, airlines business and management, cargo and customer services, airport and airline operations and safety in the aviation industry. Those knowledge are useful for my future as I am going to work in the aviation industry. The most special thing about Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies at HKU SPACE CC is that all of the lecturers are working in the industry. They are all from different aviation companies or organisations such as Airport Authority, HKCAD. They always share their working experience with us so that we can have a better understanding of the industry.
Besides studying in the class, this programme provided a lot of opportunities of study trips experiences. During my two years of school life, I have joined three study trips to Zhuhai airshow, Singapore airshow and Korea Incheon Airport Academy. They exposed me to the knowledge that we couldn’t learn from books. Those are my best memories at HKU SPACE CC.
In 2018, I had the honour to participate in the one-year internship programme at Cathay Pacific to be a customer service officer at the airport. Working at the airport not only allowed me to apply what I have learned at the College but also exposed me to real-life experiences as a customer services officer, which included communicating with people from around the world. Those experiences helped me better equip myself for future career.
Although I have already graduated from HKU SPACE CC, I still keep in touch with the programme team and lecturers of the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies. For me, HDAS is a big family. I have made a lot of good friends here.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream, 2010-2013)
Before studying in HKU SPACE CC my goal, like most of the secondary students, was to become a university student so that I spent lots of time to study the subjects in HKALE yet I could not have a thorough grasp of the principles in the subject knowledge. As a result, l got lost at that moment. After HKALE, I decided to study in Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream). During these years, I found my interest and goal and the programme led me to explore the new world in Information Technology. Our lecturers have shown great support to me in class or out of office hours, and have always shared their own experiences that have made me regain confidence in my future. Also, lecturers provided us with lots of opportunities to broaden our horizons. Last year, I represented the College to join the Hong Kong Macau Networking Skills Competition which was part of an international competition. Moreover, the programme design was great to obtain different industrial certificates such as CCNA and CCNP, etc. Both the theoretical materials and practical skill trainings in this programme are beneficial to our job seeking in the industry. I’m still enjoying the learning atmosphere in HKU SPACE CC. The most valuable thing I have acquired in this programme is not just the networking skills but also the self-confidence regained from being lost in secondary school. I believe you won’t succeed if you don’t believe in yourself. Now, I have been successfully admitted to The University of Hong Kong for further study. Hopefully, you will also find your way to success. Don’t give up and have a try at something you’re interested in.
