Chow Ching Kiu, Kristie 2019-20 Associate of Science (Biological Science) (Year 2)

It was wonderful to be a student at HKU SPACE CC. The Science Division in HKU SPACE CC offered us a precious chance to get first-hand experience at HKU. We were able to learn, study and do experiments in a large-scale university. Not only did this provide me with the exposure to one of the best universities, but also helped me to familiarize myself with the university style of education for the future. During my two years at CC, I felt the warmest encouragement from my teachers. They provided all we needed to get into a university, from guidance and reference letters to emotional support. I am very grateful and highly recommend my fellow peers who love science to choose CC. If I were given another opportunity to choose again, my choice of HKU SPACE CC would undoubtedly remain unchanged. View Details

Mak Chi Fung 2020 Year 2, Higher Diploma in Information Security

Information security is increasingly important nowadays. Under the current covid-19 pandemic, we go online in many aspects of our lives. Therefore the awareness for information security has risen. In this programme, I learned to integrate different domains of information security such as audits, network security, and forensics. At the same time, I also learned two types of programming languages for my future studies and work. Apart from the hard knowledge, our lecturers also introduced the operations of the information security industry. For example, I learned when we should obtain an information security certification and the objective of different certifications. If you wish to enter the information security industry in the future, this course can help you to understand it deeply. If you want to continue to study, it can also help you build a solid foundation in computing knowledge. View Details

Tam Hou Men Norman Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Computing and Data Science Theme Year 2)

Owing to my personal issues, I had interruptions in my academic studies in the past years. I have several years of experience working in the IT industry, and I like new technologies a lot. So I decided to engage fully in this industry and become a software engineer. I realized that in order to make my dream come true, I need to strengthen my caliber and competency in IT technology. In addition, I must acquire the appropriate qualifications. Therefore, I decided to resume my studies in IT. I had applied for many local IT courses and programmes in 2019. Fortunately, HKU SPACE CC gave me a chance and offered me a place to study in the Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme. I treasured this invaluable second chance very much, therefore, I took every subject in the course very seriously. The programme was very well structured--starting with the basics and progressing to the advanced computer theories including networking, data structures, and programming--which helped me to understand and enrich my computer knowledge. The part that I liked most was the proactive and warm learning atmosphere in the classes. The college encouraged students to work in groups. Also, students were willing to help each other when they encountered difficulties instead of competing with each other like enemies. With the sincere and passionate help from the lecturers and my fellow classmates, I was able to achieve satisfactory academic results in my first year and got a valuable offer from my desired university to continue my undergraduate study. Dear fellow schoolmates, no matter what you plan to do--to work or to continue your studies--the HDIT programme is a perfect pathway. In two years’ time, I have been transformed from a hopeless youngster into to an enlightened student. And now I am full of hope. All of this would not have been possible if HKU SPACE CC had not offered me a second chance. All my hard work paid off. Please do not lose faith in yourselves, everyone is capable of success. If you have a dream and are prepared to strive for it, it will come true! View Details

I obtained 20 marks in DSE, which was not enough for me to get an offer of my favorite subject. Fortunately, HKU SPACE CC offered me a second chance to achieve this goal. During the 2 years at CC, I equipped myself with professional knowledge and skills that a nurse required. HKU SPACE CC also provided a lot of resources and facilities like the nursing laboratory, which aided my learning. Furthermore, the teachers were supportive, and I also got to make some good, like-minded friends! Although the life of studying ANS was not an easy one, I am grateful for having this memorable journey. View Details
