Reza, MD. Raiyan Bin Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Computing and Data Science Theme Year 2)

Right after high school, I made a decision to take a couple of gap years instead of going directly into higher education. Soon after discovering my interest in Information Technology, I joined HKU SPACE CC, where I was given a chance to learn more about IT and prepared for my future in this ever growing industry. Choosing HDIT at HKU SPACE CC was one of the best choices that I have made because it allowed me to touch on a vast array of IT domains which exposed me to various fields in IT. Apart from the robust IT courses provided at HKU SPACE CC, another great aspect of the College was the lecturers. Throughout my studies here, not only did they help enhance and develop my IT skills, they were also mentors who were willing to assist me outside of my studies. With their help and guidance, I was able to articulate to university studies. View Details

Despite my HKALE grades not being what I hoped it would be, I continued to study what I was interested at HKU SPACE CC, and I was not disappointed. To be honest, I had no great reasons to study at HKU SPACE CC. All I knew was that it will enable me to continue my studies. However, now I can say that studying at HKU SPACE CC has been a great experience. Not only I was able to continue my studies but also I was able to get to know individuals from different backgrounds during my studies. Most importantly, by studying at HKU SPACE CC, I was able to get into a local university. View Details

Ko Chin Wang, Michael 2016-17 Diploma in Foundation Studies

Studying this DFS programme made me understand the importance of team spirit since a lot of assignments are done in groups. I made friends with many people when doing different group projects and presentations. I think that working in a team is much more enjoyable than working alone. Besides, the interactive teaching method used by the teachers in the college made me very impressed, especially the course of College Speaking. I was shy and didn’t dare to express myself. However, through a variety of trainings in performances and personal speeches, I became more out-spoken and out-going. I am now more willing to come into contact with people and able to adapt to unfamiliar environment. View Details

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

Chan Cheuk Yiu, Jessamond 2021 Undergraduate, BBA (Hons) Aviation Management and Logistics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Growing up with many curiosities about the sky—how the clouds hang, how the heavy metal objects fly, why airplanes leave white marks in the sky and so on—taking the path of aviation study filled up most of the unknowns for me. Clouds go through atmospheric cycles to form and deform, aircraft wings are designed in sweepback shape like birds to produce lift against their weight, and a contrail is the form of cloud when hot humid air mixes with the exhausted fuel-air mixture. Each of these mysteries that have been answered remind me of my favourite motto, “Every expert starts as a beginner.” I am very thankful for every opportunity HKU SPACE CC provided for me—a wide range of experiences, airshows, internships at the airport, study tours, and, of course, the flying experience in Melbourne. Memories get washed off by time, but my first flying experience will stay fresh and exciting. From ground briefing to the Cessna simulator and climbing into the Sling2, to flying along the coastline and bringing the plane back onto the runway, feelings were beyond words! The lecturers who have been or are still working in the aviation field provided the most updated and related sources for my study and career path. Staff were more than willing to help with any sort of problem, and they provided guidance for my study and career planning. Finishing the first year in HKU SPACE CC had broadened my vision and encouraged further learning in the field. I can’t wait for the next year to start! View Details
