Cheung Wui Tim, Samuel 2012-14 Associate of Arts (English Studies)

HKU SPACE CC has enabled me to achieve my goal of entering university, because teachers in HKU SPACE CC were willing to help with my learning, and SDCS equipped me with important knowledge of non-JUPAS applications. When I came across any questions about lecture concepts, I asked my teachers after lessons or by email. Their willingness to address my queries helped me to understand the concepts more clearly and to digest such concepts more effectively. They also offered me clear guidance on developing my assignments in the right direction. Regarding further studies activities organised by SDCS, I benefited from an information session on ‘local study opportunities’, a sharing session on ‘successful university applications’, workshops on ‘choosing a university and writing a personal statement’ and ‘effective interview skills for university applications and mock interviews for university admission’, as well as an briefing session by an individual university/programme. I learnt important strategies for non-JUPAS applications and related interview skills after participating in these activities. Moreover, during individual counselling, counsellors solved my questions about university applications, and taught me stress management skills. In short, HKU SPACE CC has made my dream of entering university come true, with helpful teachers and support for non-JUPAS applications. View Details

Steven Lin 2015-17 Associate of Arts (English Studies)

Studying in college can be stressful and miserable. I am glad that I asked myself 3 questions during the past two years. The first question was “What are you going to focus on?” After being defeated in the public examinations, most students chose to focus on the fact that they were not good at studying. That was why they often felt frustrated. Instead, I looked at it from a completely different perspective. I thought of the experience as a way to grow and learn, which let me stay positive and motivated. The next question was “What meanings do you ascribe to things?”, the defeat in public examination meant nothing but a time for me to change. Certainly, there were problems in my learning strategies and I had to improve them. Finally, “What are you going to do?”. I chose to put all my laser focus on studying. During this journey, I am grateful to meet my best friend, the most inspiring teacher in my life. I am not a fan of cliché, but the moral of my story is very simple. When life gives you lemons, please, please make lemonade. View Details

Henry Chan 2017 Graduate of Associate of Health Science (Nursing Studies)

This programme provides a good articulation route to chase my dream in nursing. Lecturers are professional, caring and friendly. It equips me with the fundamental nursing skills and knowledge. HKU SPACE Community College is a good choice to strive the best for a place in university. I had the chance to experience the clinical routine of a nurse and practice nursing skills on the real patients while having clinical placement in different settings like community setting, elderly home and sub-acute hospital ward. Through the placement, I’ve learnt more about the roles and responsibilities of a nurse. The experience laid a good foundation to my nursing academic and career path. View Details

Mirandilla, John Christian Sariego BSc (Hons) in Aviation Operations and Systems, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I had no direction when I graduated from high school. I was feeling clueless and applied for several courses. At one point, I wanted to be a nurse or a civil engineer. When I joined this higher diploma programme, it was the spark that led me to find my direction. I’ve decided to join this programme to prepare myself for this industry. The higher diploma programme did just that and it’s safe to say that this has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life! This programme gives you opportunities to participate in various activities not only in Hong Kong but other countries too! That’s what the Aviation industry is about, it is to broaden your horizons and develop more international links between other individuals in the industry. We had such an honour to talk to some of the key people in certain companies in the Singapore Air Show. For instance, Boeing, Airbus & Bombardier. The resources that HKU SPACE CC provides are very extensive and I’d like to give kudos to the amazing programme team to have given us such opportunities. It also gives you a lot of basic knowledge and essential fundamentals that prepare you for the aviation industry. These past two years with HKU SPACE CC have been amazing. It surely gave me direction, happiness and satisfaction. I have been more enthusiastic and encouraged to join this booming industry. The most memorable time has to be when I first took control of an aircraft in Melbourne during the aviation study trip in Australia! It will always be a vivid memory to me. View Details
