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!

現就職於醫療服務
兩年前考文憑試成績不理想,於是決定報讀港大附屬學院。由於本身對醫療行業有興趣,碰巧「醫護及健保行政」高級文憑課程又剛推出,所以便報讀,又因這決定,才有幸踏入醫療行業。兩年間講師們耐心教導,他們優秀的教學方式,使我更用心學習。同學之間會互相鼓勵及交流,學習過程並不孤單,更營造良好的學習氣氛。課程提供講座及實習機會,令我不只在知識上進步,實踐上亦有增益。 現在我已正式受聘在診所全職工作,踏入醫療行業第一步。全因入讀這科,我才可以找到前路。

I never expected to step into such a welcoming environment at HKU SPACE. The lecturers were all very heart-warming and eager to help, whether the issues were academic or personal. I have met new friends that I still have contact with and are very close to this day. The experiences I had with my fellow classmates, academically and socially, were very valuable for my personal development. All in all, communication is definitely key around HKU SPACE.

Offer received: HKU Bachelor of Nursing
Studying Healthcare and Health Plan Administration at HKU SPACE CC has exposed me to a broader spectrum of healthcare issues, ranging from health planning to the structure of the medical system in Hong Kong and other countries. As the number of the aging population has rocketed, the healthcare demand for elderly service and organizations is increasing. This Programme enriches my health sciences knowledge, while helping me understand the factors behind the demand and supply for elderly services. All these help students think more thoroughly about their interests and future decisions. During our internship, students were assigned to different community centres or clinics, where they experienced, or observed first-hand, the routine tasks and duties of a community nurse or counsellor. This was a brand-new experience for most students. I really appreciate the college for giving me a second chance to achieve my goal to study in the university.
