Law Chung Wai, Caillou BSocSc Asian and International Studies, City University of Hong Kong

The aviation industry became my interest after I have played a computer game about air traffic control when I was around Secondary 4. Being an air traffic controller became my dream job afterwards and getting inadequate results in the public examination did not make me give up. This programme provided a lot of opportunities for me to enrich my knowledge and experiences throughout this two fruitful years. These foundations drove me to continue my academic path at the City University of Hong Kong. This programme had given me a chance to take part in the Singapore Airshow, one of the biggest airshow in Asia. These airshows are not generally opened to the general public, especially to students like me. However, I can attend the trade day of the Airshow as a participant from the aviation industry. Moreover, the programme had also provided me an opportunity to work in the Hong Kong Aviation Ground Services Limited, which allowed me to join and contribute to the industry. Let your dreams take off from here and make them come true. View Details

The two-year life here has helped me develop my interest and discover what I want. The lecturers were always willing to give a helping hand to us and explained to us patiently when we did not understand anything.

Kaur Simonpreet 2018 Year 2, Higher Diploma in Airline and Airport Services

Studying aviation has always been my dream as I would like to know more about the aviation industry. I started off with studying Applied Learning in Aviation during my high school years. After HKDSE, I continued to study the Higher Diploma in Airline and Airport service at HKU SPACE CC. In this programme, I got opportunities to experience different things such as the overseas study trips. In the Singapore Airshow study trip, I gained more knowledge about the aviation industry. I got an amazing opportunity to meet with the Air Hostess of Air Baltic and asked her about her experience and road map for achieving my goal to be an Air Hostess. She suggested that I should work on my communication skills and my customer service skills. Overall, it was a mind-boggling experience for me. Moreover, in the Australia Aviation study trip, I got a great opportunity to experience practical flying and attended lectures at the Swinburne University of Technology. In addition, I also visited the National Aviation Museum and the QANTAS Flight Training Center. All these experiences motivated me to study hard and achieve my dreams. HDAAS programme provided all the experience and education required to become a Flight Attendant, enabling me to explore more about the aviation industry. View Details

Tong Kin Fung Brian Global Operations Specialist, Flexport Inc.

Studying Aviation Studies (Operation Stream) as my specialism at HKU SPACE CC has strengthened my interest and career goal in aviation management. The elementary aviation course equipped me with basic aviation knowledge. With a strong interest in applying concepts and theories to real situations, I joined an internship programme as a Customer Services Officer in Hong Kong Aviation Ground Services Limited (HAGSL) in the summer of 2017. I performed ground handling services at Hong Kong International Airport, including boarding gate and arrival duties, which broadened my knowledge of ground service handling in airports. I also participated in the Incheon Airport Aviation Academy – Junior Airport Management Course, where I learned about the trends of aviation business worldwide, airport operations at Incheon airport, and visited the airside. Additionally, I joined study tours to Singapore and Australia, which allowed me to explore different cultures, foods, people, and transport etc. One of the unforgettable moments was my flying experience with a Cessna 172 at Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne, Australia. I remember that the weather was rainy in the morning, and I was worried that I would be unable to fly. Sometimes, the sky is unpredictable, but it turned out that I was able to fly the plane with a stunning sunset! After my remarkable two-year Higher Diploma study in HKU SPACE CC, I realized that I made the right choice! View Details

Our education system is hardly a one-fits-all solution for everyone. I remember the moment when I failed in HKDSE, I started to doubt, "Am I suitable for pursuing further academic studies?" The two-year studies, plus the overseas experience, did more than building up our solid foundations in the aviation industry. As we studied further, we learnt to be critical and became more mature. Eventually, we were able to develop a mindset which greatly helped us plan for our own future. Assessment of the programme ranged from flight and airline simulations to internship programmes. We were assessed comprehensively, and critically, which motivated us to keep reviewing and exploring. Learning is no longer limited to lectures and the given materials. With the scholarships provided by CC, we could participate in overseas programmes to explore the industry with a global vision. We became more competitive and well-equipped when we graduated.

Yu Tsun Hin 2017-18 Associate of Science (Biological Science) (Year 2)

I chose HKU SPACE CC because it provided a high chance for students to enter into universities. Apart from the good learning and study atmosphere in HKU SPACE CC, I actually learnt a lot with the guidance of the teachers. Every lesson in CC ensured that students could learn something which they had missed in secondary school. Besides, I appreciate teachers' patience a lot for their quick responses to students' questions. Activities organised by the College also enriched students' college life. They were very different from the events organised when we were in secondary school. I hope that all of you will obtain excellent GPA in HKU SPACE CC and find your way to go!! View Details
