Kevin Chui Student of Higher Diploma in Information Technology (2012-2014)

HKU SPACE CC gave me a second chance. To start with, I actually did quite well in my HKDSE examinations. My 5 best subjects totaled 23, with a Level 5 in Maths, Physics and ICT. I even studied Maths M1, though only scoring Level 4. However, I ran into a fairly common problem with EMI secondary school students, some of us just cannot do well in Chinese Language. Sadly, I scored Level 2, where JUPAS decided to filter out all university applications of those who do not meet Level 3 for Chinese Language. So in JUPAS, I did not get any university offer to further my studies. To be fair, I saw that coming. HKDSE Chinese Language to me is like a lucky draw. Before the results were out, I had already applied for IT related higher diploma programmes through E-APP based on my interests, getting conditional offers from institutes in case I failed the lucky draw which I did. Among the offers, I picked the one from HKU SPACE CC as it was recommended by a friend who had just completed Year 1 HD IT studies here, and on top of that, associations with HKU itself is a quality assurance for the education provided. HKU SPACE CC has offered me a second chance, where I have received a university offer through advancing on my path to an IT career. However, it’s not as simple as learning things I am interested in. In my opinion, studying at HKU SPACE CC is closer to studying at university, or even to a real life working environment. In HKU SPACE CC, grade assessment involves group projects, and it’s common to bump into irresponsible people who do not care at all. With not much cooperation experience, I would say that studying in HKU SPACE CC is eye opening, gave me a good taste of worst case scenario working with people in real life, as well as how well it can go, and how people can achieve more working together. To conclude, HKU SPACE CC gave me an alternate path to university, and has taught me more than just IT. View Details

黃雅詩 2014-16 文學副學士（語言及人文學科）（中國語言、文學及文化）

當初跟不少人一樣，只想靠「太空」升上大學；但卻有些意外的際遇。十分慶幸遇上一班好同學、好老師，難忘一起add drop，做group project 的日子。離開了「太空」，偶爾會有師生聚會，彼此分享近況，老師也很關心作為畢業生的我們。唯一後悔的是沒怎參加課外活動。眼見朋友的人際關係因而變好，的確十分羨慕。升上大學，也許因為兩年時間太短，其實也沒太多人會做齊上大學的五件事。這番話或者有些叫人難以置信，不少師兄姐也認為在「太空」的生活比較愉快，所以在努力之際，也好好珍惜在「太空」的日子吧。 View Details

Chan Man Yee Cara Graduate of Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene in 2016

Time flies. I have successfully completed this intense and challenging training programme. Being a student of dental hygiene is totally different from a secondary school student. There is no choice but to comply with the instructions during the clinical training sessions. However, it is full of great satisfaction and an unforgettable memory in my entire life. Clinical training is an integrated part of the whole programme. I have to practise clinical skills and apply dental knowledge when treating patients. Besides the clinical treatment, I found that persuading patients from changing their habit and attitude is the most challenging mission. Nevertheless, when I observed a positive change from a patient, I am very delighted with my efforts. In addition, to searching for information and having group discussions are the major ways to acquire knowledge in this problem-based learning (PBL) atmosphere. Compared with the traditional learning, PBL is more inspirational and easier to understand theories and practices. Besides, generic skills courses provide a balanced development for my study and I learned cooperate with team members and it greatly improved my communication skills. Last but not least, what I have learnt in this course is not only the dental knowledge but also working and interacting with different people. This course provides a great foundation for my future career and I am grateful to be one of the graduates in dental hygiene. View Details
