I only got 21 marks for the best five subjects in 2016 DSE. Though I received an offer from HKBU BBA, my dream is being a nurse. I knew 21 marks was not enough for me to get admitted to any UGC-funded bachelor’s degrees in nursing. Therefore, I chose to decline HKBU’s offer and study in HKU SPACE CC. View Details

Back to 10 years ago, I was a student of HD in IT. Despite my major was networking, I had opportunities to learn about Information Security and entered the industry after my bachelor studies. Now I am back to HKU SPACE as a lecturer of the new programme HD in Information Security. If one is asking me why I come back to teach, there are two reasons behind: First, when compared with IT, Information security is a relatively new domain for people, corporates, institutions and even the society. Due to the fast advancement of technologies and increasing utilization in various industries, more security breakout and concern can be seen (and foreseen). However, shortage of manpower is a major problem throughout the industry, especially in entry level. So I would like to train more people for the whole industry, like what I have gone through in these years. Another reason is to convey (correct) awareness of information security to teenagers and even the general public, for the misconceptions I have seen nowadays. From TV episodes, movies or the Internet we can see hackers who possess great abilities to destroy or save the world, and teenagers are being attracted and want to become such a person. But the truth is, this industry is a lot more than hackers and technical skills. In this programme you will learn professional knowledge and skills necessary to survive in this industry, from compliance, audit, management, to technical skills, forensics and hacking (which is pursued by many). Also, you will hear sharing of stories and experience from our adventures in information security field. My colleagues and I are here to help you to build interests and abilities, as well as provide guidance for your future studies or careers. Looking forward to seeing you around. View Details

Looking back at my DSE results, it was a hard time for me. Then I made one of the most satisfying and paramount choices in my life - choosing the DFS programme at HKU SPACE Community College - which changed my life. I remember that at the beginning of the first semester, I tried very hard to adapt to the environment. As time went by, I became familiar with the environment and built up my confidence. I would like to thank many nice and kind lecturers for helping and teaching me a lot. Whenever I came across questions related to my study or career, they were willing to help. After studying the DFS programme, the most important achievements were realising my real interest, rebuilding my confidence and identifying new goals for myself. The time I spent here was so enjoyable and it was also the turning point in my life. View Details
