Lau Lai Mei, Venus 2010-11 Graduate of Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene

I love my job as a dental hygienist. The 2-year Higher Diploma course is a comprehensive course which provided me with dental knowledge, clinical experience and generic skills. All that I learned and gained from the course can be practically applied in my work as a Dental Hygienist. Without a doubt, I found Problem Base Learning (PBL) a new and challenging academic experience after secondary school. Nevertheless, it helps students develop their critical thinking through information searching, group discussion and tutorial. In the clinical sessions, lecturers not only encouraged us to bring the knowledge into practice, but also taught us effective patient management skills and demonstrated how to co-operate with other dental practitioners. I find this invaluable in my day-to-day work. The generic courses also gave us training on language and communication skills. In short , this course has given me everything I require to become a professional dental hygienist and lots more besides. View Details

Do you like aviation? Would you like to learn more about it? Would you like to join the industry? Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme is definitely your choice. In this course, what you can get is not just knowledge on handouts but also a valuable and unforgettable experience that actually bring you into the aviation industry. During the two years’ time, I had been to several airshows and overseas trips. Unlike those trips in secondary schools, we are now treated as one of the professional in these major events. We would be able to chat with experts from famous companies (e.g. Boeing, Airbus) as well as share their design and ideas of their company which make you feel that you are a member of the aviation family. In the Asia Pacific Aviation Education and Training Symposium, we got a chance to listen to a sharing giving by an Emirates’ manager who told us about his career path and daily responsibilities. These experiences helped me to develop confidence in the business world and understand the operations of aviation industry which is very useful for my future career. Moreover, one of the big differences between this course to others is that many lecturers and tutors have worked m the industry. They would share their daily job experiences that enrich the lessons and make the classes more practical and useful. We also have a lot of opportunities to join many different internship provided by industry like Cathay Pacific Services Limited, Metrojet and Heliservices. For those who want to be a pilot or flight attendant, the college provides different training workshops and professional advice. We are also given the chance to participate in activities like the Annual Aircraft Crash Exercise held by the Airport Authority, which gives us a bigger picture of the aviation in different aspects. If you like aviation and would like to join the industry, it should be you choice. What you can get here would be more than you expected. Now, I am studying in a BBA programme at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, majoring in International Shipping and Transport Logistics and continue to strive for my dream to be a professional in the aviation industry. Hope to see you in the coming future! View Details

YIP Vanessa 2016-17 Associate of Social Sciences (Behavioural Science)

It was such a bittersweet experience studying in HKU SPACE CC. As a freshman, I decided not to participate in any ECAs as I wanted to to focus solely on my study. I suffered psychologically and physically, and I could not taste the joy of learning. My fear of failing overwhelmed me. On my teachers’ advice, I balance my life by planning my study schedule and time to relax. I learn to utilize the CC resources about university requirements and graduates' records to prepare for the non-jupas application. It is not a miracle that I could finally achieve my goal – entering HKU, it is the effort that paid off. Chances will only be given to those who are well prepared! View Details
