Chow Kam To, Ricky
2009-10 Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Year 3)
I was very frustrated as I did not get good results in my Form 6 study. As I was very interested in the computer field, I then made a big decision and came to study in the Higher Diploma in Information Technology at HKU SPACE Community College. The programme broadened my horizons and focused on equipping students with practical skills and techniques. I also met many good friends here and really enjoyed my school life. I was admitted to the BEng (Hons) in Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong in 2010. I believe I have made a right choice. HKU SPACE Community College has brought me to a brighter future.

2010-11 Higher Diploma in Engineering (Year 1)
Disappointed with my HKALE results, I was encouraged by my family to join the Higher Diploma programme in Engineering at HKU SPACE Community College. This programme not only well equipped me with critical and independent thinking skills, but also with the fundamentals of appropriate presentation and communication strategies. College life was flexible and the learning experience was rather different from secondary school. Company visits and field trips were organised regularly and broadened my horizons in relation to the various engineering fields. The invaluable engineering skills and techniques gained from the courses also helped me to become well-prepared for my further study and career. Thanks to the guidance and support from the lecturers, after one year of study in HKU SPACE Community College, I determined to develop my engineering expertise in the field of Electrical Engineering. Certainly, there will be a lot of challenges in our lifetime but as long as we are well equipped and prepared, we can tackle any of them. Are you ready now?

2010-11 Graduate of Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene
I love my job as a dental hygienist. The 2-year Higher Diploma course is a comprehensive course which provided me with dental knowledge, clinical experience and generic skills. All that I learned and gained from the course can be practically applied in my work as a Dental Hygienist. Without a doubt, I found Problem Base Learning (PBL) a new and challenging academic experience after secondary school. Nevertheless, it helps students develop their critical thinking through information searching, group discussion and tutorial. In the clinical sessions, lecturers not only encouraged us to bring the knowledge into practice, but also taught us effective patient management skills and demonstrated how to co-operate with other dental practitioners. I find this invaluable in my day-to-day work. The generic courses also gave us training on language and communication skills. In short , this course has given me everything I require to become a professional dental hygienist and lots more besides.

2010-11 Graduate of Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene
During the two years of studies in the Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene, I found it a very memorable experience. The unique "Problem-based Learning" teaching method has allowed me to develop logical and critical thinking which has enhanced my ability to analyse problems independently. These are important for me to work in the dental field. In addition, the clinical sessions have given me the opportunity to treat patients who have a wide range of oral health problems. It is very useful for my future career. And now, I am glad to have become one of the enroled dental hygienists in Hong Kong and I believe I can apply my knowledge and experience and contribute to the community.

2010-12 Graduate of Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene
I became a professional dental hygienist after this two-year Higher Diploma programme. This has provided me with clinical training sessions, problem-based learning and other generic skills. Problem-based learning (PBL) has given me a new learning experience and has encouraged me to analyse problems by information searching, self-reading and group discussions. The clinical sessions have provided invaluable opportunities for me to treat patients in the Prince Philip Dental Hospital. More importantly, apart from the clinical skills, I have learned how to communicate and to take care of my patients. I found these experiences were really applicable and helpful to my career. Besides this, the generic modules also provided me with opportunities to strengthen my language ability and presentation skills. Now I know more about the role and responsibilities of a registered dental hygienist in Hong Kong and I am proud to be one of them.

2010-12 Graduate of Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene
It is amazing to me that I have become a dental professional in just 2 years' time. I am happy to see people benefiting from the services that I have offered to them in preventing periodontal disease and dental caries. By virtue of this course I have found the right path. In addition to the programme itself, the resources provided especially those by the Prince Philip Dental Hospital (PPDH), where many local dental professionals are trained, are essential in making the comprehensive training successful. Things taught in the generic modules at HKU SPACE CC have also helped me a lot in completing my studies in both the generic subjects and specialism. This course has definitely provided a professional training for me to be a dental hygienist. I am sure that students who are determined to become a professional in dental hygiene will benefit a lot from this course.

Flight Attendant, Cathay Pacific
To pursue your dream, getting in a university is not the only path now. I am really thankful after taking the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies in HKU SPACE CC.
I have learnt a lot of aviation knowledge in these two years. The whole package of study was practical and the learning experience was extraordinarily sensational. No matter what outcome you are aiming for, you can get quality study and knowledge here, which can actually help you to achieve higher academic standard!
This programme opened the door of aviation industry for me. The most rewarding experience was meeting a lot of experts in the industry who were experienced and professional. Thanks to them, we got to know the most up-to-date knowledge and information about the subject, and the current practice in the workplace.
Flying is not easy at all. I am a cabin crew of Cathay Pacific Airways now. I have visited many places where I have never been to, such as London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam etc. There is no boundary to fly in the sky. This programme has helped me to take off from the ground and land back again securely with useful knowledge and experience. Had I not chosen CC as my post-secondary study, I would still be engaging in something “down to earth”, without dreams and hopes.

Studying Library and Information Management was great fun. The lessons were highly interesting and practical. I got the chance to work in some famous institutions, visited different libraries, and went to various meetings, conferences, exhibitions and presentations. I achieved something I’d never thought I could. Last August, I participated in the Heleni Linton Bursary and I was so glad that my proposal and interview convinced the judges. This is the biggest accomplishment I've ever achieved and this could be yours.

This programme has definitely provided me with the knowledge and skills in order to meet challenges in the current information age. Interesting and interactive learning activities such as site visits and conferences have made me have a much better understanding of the theories. Working in both academic and public libraries during the past two years has enabled me to put into practice what I learnt from HDLIM and acquire new knowledge from the real situation. Therefore, this programme has certainly helped me to establish a firm foundation in the field. In actual fact, even before graduation, I am proud to say that I gained an offer from HKU and a permanent job.

2013年商業學高級文憑(市場學及管理)
此刻的你,仍在猶豫嗎? 我曾經跟你一樣,一邊看着課程資料,一邊思索着未來的人生……公開試成績公佈後,出現很多不同的聲音,告訴你應該報讀各種不同課程,在面對那些意見,特別是當建議與自己的想法有差異時,我也會感到煩惱、迷茫。 認清自己的興趣,確立目標,然後實行,是走向成功的第一步。 最後,我決定跟隨自己的興趣,報讀了市場學及管理的高級文憑課程。由於中學是理科生,當初修讀這課程都感到有點吃力,但幸好專業和盡責的講師不厭其煩地解答我的問題;學院還定期邀請不同行業的專家舉辦分享會,令我更熟悉商業環境,了解市場的轉變和最新的趨勢。 而且,課程讓我在學兩年的暑假有機會到不同公司實習,實習的過程不只讓我把課堂上學到的學以致用,更讓我明白到課程備受社會各界的肯定。 感謝學院悉心的栽培,令我明白到大學夢不只是一個夢。儘管過程充滿困難,但只要堅持走下去,我相信屬於你的風景終會出現。 此刻的你,還猶豫甚麼?

Graduate of Higher Diploma in New Media and Communication in 2015
Apart from the academic studies, lecturers in HKU SPACE CC are always willing to give help to students and are very experienced in their fields. Also, the lecturers will use more interesting teaching methods in the lessons, such as if we had a lesson that was related to lighting, we would have some lighting equipment and could try it one by one. I was grateful to experience real-life project in a company through an internship programme and it offered me a chance to learn in a way that in-class learning could not provide. In summer, I joined a study trip to Shanghai and visited different production units and shopping malls with media arts, such as P.O., a TV station and Shanghai K11. After the trip, I knew much more about the development of media technology in China and enhanced my technological skills in different areas. In this programme, I have benefited a lot from the diversity of subjects, such as communications, marketing, media production, new media and IT related subjects. I believe all the learning experiences and knowledge will enhance my competitiveness in the future.

‘Practical’ is the word that I use to describe this 2-year Higher Diploma course in Dental Hygiene. I was surprised by the methods of training which have equipped me not only with the knowledge in dental aspects but also provided me with holistic development. The Problem-based learning (PBL) module is incredibly useful in training my critical thinking as well as my organising skills. Definitely, the experience that I acquired from this module can be applied and be very useful to my future studies and work. Moreover, the experience that I gained from the Clinical Training module, which was run side by side with the PBL module, can be applied in managing my patients as well as in other work situations. I am very proud of being a member of the dental profession after these two years.

Napoles Karen Allisa
Flight Attendant, Finnair
Hi, I am Allisa, a graduate of Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme. After I acquired the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme, I took a Top-Up degree in Aviation Management with Coventry University, who has a partnership with City University of Hong Kong. I enroled the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme in HKU SPACE CC because I had great intentions to pursue a career in Aviation; my goal was to be a pilot. Right now, I am a flight attendant flying for Finnair, but I have not forgotten my real dream, and I am still doing everything that I can to fulfill my heart’s desire. During my final year, I also spent some time working for a business jet company in Hong Kong under Supply Chain and Procurement. I have learnt how to source aircraft materials from this job and I was also able to assist them with acquiring new equipment for their new branch in Macau. It was a challenging but exciting experience for me.
When I graduated from the Higher Diploma programme, I rewarded myself with two hours of leisure flight, an hour with Cessna 152 and another one with Cessna 172. This was something incredible for me, I suggest every person who dreams to be a pilot to try this, given the money and time. In the vast of two years with HKU SPACE CC, they were able to give us the maximum exposure to aviation. For example in Year 1, we visited Heliservices Inc., where we were educated about helicopters and this is when I realized, being a pilot doesn’t only mean flying for commercial airlines, there are many positions pilots can have, and the most interesting for me is flying helicopters for search and rescue.
In Year 2, we had a 4-day Aviation trip to Beijing. And in the middle of Year 2, we headed to the Singapore Airshow 2014 for 6 days. We had exclusive opportunities; talks from Airbus, Boeing, CAE, Gulfstream and Singapore Polytechnic. I was even lucky to be interviewed by Airbus official media. I was one of the leaders for the Orientation Camp 2014. Our activities included city hunt, team building games and had a BBQ party at night before we had a beauty pageant. It was very enjoyable; all the planning and preparations paid off. All these activities made it possible for me to make a lot of friends who are also passionate about aviation and this is excellent as one of our lecturers said, “In aviation, sometimes it’s not what you know, it’s WHO you know”.

Graduate Aviation Consultant, EC Harris (Hong Kong) Ltd.
From ancient times, humans have had strong aspirations to fly in the sky. From the Wright brothers to the A380, humans have spent less than 150 years to develop aviation industry. It is amazing and interesting to me, which inspired me to join the aviation industry. I am currently working in a consultancy firm as a Graduate Aviation Consultant after my bachelor’s degree in aviation management. My main responsibility is supporting my team in airport operation, International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) standards and civil aviation regulation. I was assigned to work in different projects with some of the biggest international firms, which explored my insights and increased my international experience. From my pervious project experience, I have drafted the Standard Operating Procedures for helicopter/helipad operators, amended a risk assessment report/risk register for airport operation and held risk workshops with stakeholders, which can enhance my knowledge and working skills such as communication skills with clients and business English etc. I am glad that I can work with a high qualification and professional teammates, who are air traffic controllers, management directors, risk managers and urban planners, etc. that support me a lot. Leveraging the Higher Diploma – Aviation Studies built up my aviation knowledge and expanded my networking in the aviation industry. This programme has equipped me with professional knowledge and technical skills to deal with the challenges in the aviation industry, which is applicable for your future carrier. Besides, the Hong Kong Government and Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) have agreed to build a 3rd runway in Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), but they are facing a challenge of insufficient manpower in the coming years. Therefore, I highly recommend this programme for those who are interested in aviation as your future career.

Graduate, Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies
Flying used to be a human dream, but we have overcome the obstacles of this dream with intelligence and technology, and now aviation is the safest transportation mode. We have to give thanks for the advanced technologies, effective safety management systems and so on. You could learn all these topics from the experienced lecturers in the industry. Apart from the academic side, the College has been organising a wide range of activities for us, such as study trips as well as visits to HAECO and Heliservice Inc.. In the last summer, I joined a study trip to Beijing and visited the assembly line of the Airbus in Tianjin. After the trip, I knew much more about the aviation development in China and made a lot of new friends. In the same summer holiday, I was fortunate to be given a chance to take part in the internship programme of the Jardine Aviation Service as Passenger Service Agent (PSA). I was grateful to learn experiencing the activities in the airport and it offered me a chance to learn something out of the classroom like intercommunication skills and the boarding system. The Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies was the first programme ever in HKU SPACE CC to hold their own Orientation Camp, and it is my honour to be a member of the organising committee. It was a good opportunity to meet the new students and we are now good friends. To me, the most unforgettable event is the conference on airworthiness at the Civil Aviation Department. A number of professional and experienced international aviation experts shared their views on aviation safety. I still remember that the president of the International Federation of Airworthiness (IFA) told us, “You are the future of the aviation industry and teaching you safety is our major concern.” The achievements in aviation came from the hard-work, dedication and the commitment of talented people before, and I am sure you guys have those same talents. So, do not give up your dreams and pursue it. Come and fly with us!

I am currently an undergraduate student in The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), majoring in Global Studies. The area of focus is about international relations and politics in global affairs. Before joining CUHK, I decided to take a year of full-time employment in order to subsidize my further studies after graduating from the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme of HKU SPACE CC. From my previous work experiences in the discipline of flight operations at a local aviation ground handling agent, I came across many real life complexities for which I could make good use of what I have learnt about the industry, and that further enabled me to demonstrate certain levels of familiarity to get job tasks done within real-life constraints. During my study in the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme, I was luckily selected as a student representative to participate in the conferences organised by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) - Next Generation Aviation Professionals Outreach Committee. My role was to work with my teammates through meetings and give presentations to different aviation stakeholders from different countries. We gave ideas on how to tackle the anticipated shortage of competent personnel required by the industry from a student’s point of view. Through the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme, I received the opportunity to join an internship in a business jet company in Hong Kong, Metrojet Ltd. During the 2-month internship training, I had job rotations in three departments within Metrojet, which were the Engineering Department, Corporate Safety Department and Flight Operations Department. At the end of the internship, I gave presentations to the management board of the company regarding the key learning areas gained in each department as a conclusion of the whole internship programme. Overall, the Aviation programme has equipped me with extensive specialized knowledge of the industry and provided me with lots of opportunities to get involved in the real-life industrial situations even when I was just a student with no practical experience. My enthusiasm for aviation has simply been sparked further by the programme. The experience had dramatically changed my mind when I stepped far outside my comfort zone.

I love the sky! Until now, I still remember my trip to Sapporo. In this flight, I had a chance to visit the Boeing 747-400 cockpit. During the conversation with the captain, he encouraged me to be a pilot and ignited my passion to fly. In February 2014, I joined the Singapore Airshow Study Trip with the College. In this trip, except the Airshow aerobatic display, the most exciting activity was CAE visit. During the visit, we all had a chance to fly a few minutes in the A320 simulator. When I was flying, I understood why I want to fly; Why I want be a pilot. That flight helped me to know my passion to fly is as strong as ever. I am working for Jardine Aviation Services Limited as a Passenger Services Agent now. My responsibilities are assisting airline passengers to board the aircraft or to transfer to other flights, etc. I can gain a lot experience from this job like customer service, airlines policy, etc. that will be helpful to my career in the future. This Aviation Studies programme provided plenty of knowledge from experienced lecturers. The knowledge isn't only applicable for my job, but also in my life. Besides that, the College arranges internship opportunities in local airlines, and study trips for us like Beijing in 2013 and Singapore in 2014. I am very pleased that I applied to this course two years ago. In the College life, we still “Work Hard! Play Hard!” But, the most important isn't what you do, is how you do it.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream, 2010-2013)
Before studying in HKU SPACE CC my goal, like most of the secondary students, was to become a university student so that I spent lots of time to study the subjects in HKALE yet I could not have a thorough grasp of the principles in the subject knowledge. As a result, l got lost at that moment. After HKALE, I decided to study in Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream). During these years, I found my interest and goal and the programme led me to explore the new world in Information Technology. Our lecturers have shown great support to me in class or out of office hours, and have always shared their own experiences that have made me regain confidence in my future. Also, lecturers provided us with lots of opportunities to broaden our horizons. Last year, I represented the College to join the Hong Kong Macau Networking Skills Competition which was part of an international competition. Moreover, the programme design was great to obtain different industrial certificates such as CCNA and CCNP, etc. Both the theoretical materials and practical skill trainings in this programme are beneficial to our job seeking in the industry. I’m still enjoying the learning atmosphere in HKU SPACE CC. The most valuable thing I have acquired in this programme is not just the networking skills but also the self-confidence regained from being lost in secondary school. I believe you won’t succeed if you don’t believe in yourself. Now, I have been successfully admitted to The University of Hong Kong for further study. Hopefully, you will also find your way to success. Don’t give up and have a try at something you’re interested in.

This Information Technology programme arouses my curiosity in exploring networking technology and provides solid skills for the future job market. The programme’s curriculum is very practical for me to obtain relevant industrial certificates. I really enjoyed studying at HKU SPACE CC. The lecturers are willing to share their life experiences and interact with us more often. I am not only learned the concrete skills and knowledge but also the diligent working attitude from them. Moreover, the programme provided a lot of opportunities to broaden my horizon. For instance, I joined the 8th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition last year and won the 1st runner-up. That was my valuable experience at the College. In 2011, I was awarded the Principal's Honours List 2010-2011 and HKU SPACE Community College Scholarship 2011. In 2012, I joined the 8th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition 2012 (1st runner-up), also I was awarded HKU SPACE College Scholarships 2012. In 2013, I was admitted to the UGC-funded degree programme of Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and I was also awarded the Self-financing Post-secondary Scholarship Scheme 2012-2013 from HKSAR. In addition to my hands-on achievement, I have also been successfully admitted to the UGC-funded degree programme at The Chinese University of Hong Kong this year. I hope everyone will enjoy their school life during their study at HKU SPACE Community College.

Recalling the moment I received my DSE result, it was a nightmare. I knew that the result (Best 5/4C1X: 18) would not allow me to be admitted to any local universities in JUPAS. I was panicked because I knew nothing about any alternative paths like sub-degrees. Knowing the good reputation of HKU SPACE CC, I summoned up my courage and did a walk-in application for any IT programme. And I reckon that I have made an absolute right choice. The two years spent in HKU SPACE CC was not easy, but fruitful. The Higher Diploma programme not only equips students with skills that are of good use to future career, but also provides chances for students to further their studies at university. Most of the lecturers once held high positions in the workplace so that they can share their work experiences with students, and these experiences are invaluable. These experiences help students to overpower other candidates when hunting for a job. Besides, their working experiences reveal a deeper understanding of the IT field. They know what the trend is and help us tremendously when deciding our further path as an IT Professional. The relationship between lecturers and students are close. Such relationships encourage interaction between students and lecturers. I used to be a very passive learner (And dare not to raise questions) but in HKU SPACE CC I was encouraged to raise questions. The learning atmosphere is much better than that in secondary school. I think this facilitates learning efficiency a lot and my confidence in learning was established again. Apart from career-related stuff, the College has also given us enormous help when dealing with applications to various universities. There are workshops about writing a personal statement (An essential piece of writing for you to promote yourself to university), attending university interviews and even filling in the university application form. To be concise, you will be well equipped so to gain an upper hand in the application. Thank you HKU SPACE CC!

As a student of Higher Diploma in Information Technology from 2010 to 2013, I truly enjoyed the time in HKU SPACE CC. This programme not only provided me with fundamental knowledge and skills, but also motivated my progression in professional career development and helped me shaping the right direction toward study and work. I was not successful in HKALE but I didn’t start it over again the next year. Instead, I entered the foundation year of this IT programme. Being a post-secondary student without any relevant IT knowledge and experience, I was a bit worried about the road ahead in HKU SPACE CC at first. Fortunately, the curriculum came in from the ground up. I was on the right track of both academic study and practical training. Lectures and classmates were very kind and helpful, and I had the joy of learning something new, interesting and challenging. Having specialized in Networking study for two years, I learned the concrete switching and routing knowledge in addition to other soft skills. The Networking Stream covered the professional knowledge with the supplement of industrial practice, which provided us a good foundation to obtain industrial certification in the future. Moreover, I was honored to participate on the College’s behalf in the 8th and 9th Cisco Hong Kong–Macau Youth Networking Skills Competitions and was awarded the 1st runner-up. These valuable experiences were very useful for me in further study. Within these years, the IT courses enabled me to learn how to become an IT professional and get several valuable achievements: 2010-2011 • Principal’s Honours List 2010 - 2011 2011-2012 • Principal’s Honours List 2011 - 2012 • The 8th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition 2012 - 1st runner-up • HKSAR Self-financing Post-secondary Scholarship Scheme 2012 - Outstanding Performance Scholarship • “Cisco Certified Network Associate” Certificate 2012-2013 • Principal’s Honours List 2012 - 2013 • Academic Excellence Award • The 9th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition 2013 – 1st runner-up • HKSAR Self-financing Post-secondary Scholarship Scheme 2013 – Outstanding Performance Scholarship • Passed Cisco Certified Network Professional-route Exam Now, I am the student of UGC-funded degree programme at the City University of Hong Kong. Studying Computer Science, I find that the knowledge and experiences obtained from the Higher Diploma is really helpful. I appreciate the chance that allowed me to find my real interest in academics and having further study in university. I hope everyone would enjoy his or her school life at HKU SPACE CC.

In 2011, after finishing my HKALE Life I decided to study the Higher Diploma in Information Technology. This programme emphasizes both theory and practice, which provides me a clear path for my future study or career. The course provided a lot of professional Networking information, by following the Official Cisco Academy Programme. Also, excellent laboratories and equipment are provided for helping me to solidify my understanding of networking concepts. The lecturers have excellent experience in the related fields. They always share their real case scenarios and experiences for our projects and assignments. Besides, I participated in the Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition, which gave me a chance to test my knowledge that I have learnt in the lectures. Now I am a Network Security Engineer of one of the network security companies in Hong Kong. These valuable experiences and knowledge that I have learnt have supported me in the daily tasks of my job and further study. Thank you HKU SPACE CC for giving me a chance to study here and equipping me with such precious knowledge.

As the old proverb says, “Failure teaches success”. I have been studying at HKU SPACE Community College for two years since I finished my DSE public examination. It is unbelievable to see that I can get into the university for advanced studies. After the DSE public examination, I was depressed about my results and didn’t manage to get into any university. It upset me for a while and my dream was broken. I was so puzzled that I had no idea about whether I should continue my studies or just drop out and work for a living. Fortunately, I made an important decision to give myself one more chance to study a Higher Diploma for getting into university. Then, I decided to study the higher diploma in Information Technology at HKU SPACE CC as it was highly recommended by my relatives and friends. Not only did I gain a solid grounding in the basic techniques of IT, but this is also another path that could lead to success. I have been interested in IT since I was in secondary school. I always have had a great sense of fulfilment and success after accomplishing a programme. With my keen interest, determination and learning strategies, I believe that I can rise to the upcoming challenge of this Programme and manage to reach the goal. During the past two years of studies, I have realized that I am not as smart as others. Therefore, I have put a lot of effort into my studies, assignments and preparations for the examination. Apart from my endeavour, I appreciate the help from my lecturers who are willing to share their experiences and professional advice with me. During these courses, I have gained invaluable exposure to new skills, developed interpersonal relationships and professional knowledge in HKU SPACE CC. All in all, what I have gained from HKU SPACE CC has equipped me for getting into university. To me, my goal of going to university is still attainable and I am now well prepared for facing the upcoming demands.

HKU SPACE Community College offers the best learning place for students who are struggling for further studies after the public examination. I gained a lot from High Diploma in Information Technology (HDIT). From both inside and outside the classroom, the learning atmosphere as well as the kind and experienced lecturers always stimulate my interest and arouse my passion in studying Information Technologies. I no longer regard myself as a loser. When I first came in here, I had a strong faith in my mind: “This is a brand new chance for me to start over, I can make it.” To achieve my goal, I put the largest efforts that I could. I reviewed everything I had learnt in the classes once I returned home every day. Even when I commuted to school, I read the notes on MTR in order not to waste any of my time. Finally, my hard work was rewarded by different university offers in Hong Kong. HDIT programme not only taught us subjects theoretically but also assisted us with numerous practical labs and step-by-step demonstrations in class. Anything we learnt from the lessons can be applied to our daily life directly and practically. Besides, I deeply appreciated the final year project which provided us with an opportunity to work as a team and applied what we had learnt these two years. The study at the college has reinforced my confidence and changed my attitudes of learning and studying. I am proud to become an all-round IT student with all necessary skills I learnt from the courses. All in all, the Higher Diploma in Information Technology in HKU SPACE Community College is a challenging and fascinating programme that equips students with professional IT knowledge and practical skills for the future studies and career development.

I could still remember the bad days when I received my unsatisfactory result in HKDSE. I was at a very low ebb during that period of time. However, I did not lose my interest in information technology. Instead, I made a big decision to study in the Higher Diploma in Information Technology at HKU SPACE Community College. The learning experience and the atmosphere on my first day at HKU SPACE CC were still in my mind. The lecturers were willing to share their working experiences with us and the relationship between lecturers and students was very close. Moreover, they encouraged students to raise questions and discuss the topics together. I was majored in networking stream. During these two years, I have learned switching and routing knowledge and practical skills. The networking stream covers the professional knowledge with the supplement of industrial practice, which has laid the excellent foundations for us to obtain industrial certification in the future. Now, I am a holder of CCNA and I am striving for CCNP in the coming year. Apart from the great learning atmosphere, the programme also provides us with manifold laboratories and equipment. Meanwhile, it gave me lots of international exposure and opportunities. For instance, I was selected to participate into the 9th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition on HKU SPACE behalf last year and was awarded with merit at the end. These valuable experiences and achievements equipped me to become a university student with clear aspirations and confidence. I believe everyone should still have chance to strive for the final success regardless what HKDSE result he obtained at the beginning. It only depends on how much effort you have made on it. Now, I have been successfully admitted to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University for further study. HKU SPACE Community College has led me to a brighter future. Thank you.

I graduated in Higher Diploma in Information Technology at HKU SPACE Community College and have become a professional in the field of Information Technology specialized in Networking. This is a two-year programme from which I got priceless treasure such as knowledge, experience, friendship, and so on. These two years, I had a fantastic life that I have never imagined. I met different mentors. Not only did they teach me the subject knowledge, but also guided me to find my path. They shared with us their life experience and different interview techniques. We were also given a lot of chances to broaden our horizons such as participating in Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition. What I have gained from HKU SPACE CC supports my further study and career development. Learning in HKU SPACE CC allows us to work on different types of equipment such as routers, switches, simulators, servers and security appliances. Throughout the intensive experiments we had a chance to observe how technology changes our life. At the same time, practicing network buildup and troubleshooting also helped us to pass the industrial examination easily. Along with our study journey, we understood what we really need to treasure finally --- the valuable friendships among classmates and teachers. I am proud that I have had a couple of lifelong friends since entering HKU SPACE. Some of them pushed me to work hard on every subject. Some of them have always brought me joy. Some of them have encouraged me to fight for the goal together. I never feel being alone. At the end I got admitted to the undergraduate study of Information Engineering in City University of Hong Kong this summer. I believe the foundation laid by HKU SPACE would be much beneficial to my lifelong learning journey ahead.

Time flies when you are having fun. My college life in HKU SPACE has come to an end yet I have had a great life and I have no regrets. Two years ago, I was enroled in Higher Diploma in Information Technology through non-jupas application. My knowledge about IT was very limited but I was given sufficient guidance and information about what I should do and what I am required to do. After the first semester, I knew what I want and what I am interested. Therefore, I chose Networking Technology as my major of Higher Diploma in Information Technology. My study within these two years is fruitful and joyful. I have made lots of friends and maintained good relationships with my lecturers. I enjoy the school life here. In addition, the way of study has changed substantially when it jumped from secondary school to Higher Diploma programme. I realize that we should be more self-initiative at the very beginning. The most significant difference between Higher Diploma and Associated Degree is the learning system. Associated degree curriculum focuses more on further education while higher diploma concentrates on the professional training for career path. Knowledge and skills I have learnt from this high diploma in Information Technology are valuable that can be applied to our daily life. To conclude, I am glad about my study in HKU SPACE. I have learnt lots here in both academic and practical aspects. Now, I’ve received an offer from an UGC funded university for my further study based on my achievement in HKU SPACE. I am ready to accept the challenges on my road ahead.

Studying in HKU SPACE Community College has brought me unforgettable memories. That was not only the hard life in study but also the learning environment. The lecturers are professional that they explain the topics effectively. They are also helpful and kind that they are willing to answer our questions patiently and providing us with a pleasant environment on study. I have met a lot of guys having the same goal as mine. We studied, learned and had discussions about what we got from the lectures. I was not alone whenever striving for my future in college because the teachers and my friends were always at my back to give me a great support. The college also provided me with lots of valuable information and resources on the related career path and development which guided me to the right planning for future. The knowledge and the skills I learnt from the college are really practical and useful today. The lessons in college were totally different from those in secondary school. The former ones were more interesting and more active. We could work on lab exercises more often. Therefore, my knowledge on computing has been enhanced with such plenty of practices. And these skills help me a lot when I was interviewed by the university. The experience in the college secured me with a ticket entering into university and equipped me well for the future. I am grateful for all that I have gained from the High Diploma in Information Technology Programme from HKU SPACE and now I have been successfully admitted to the Information Engineering at Chinese University of Hong Kong for further study.

Two years ago, when I received my HKALE examination results, I was so frustrated as they were far below my expectations. I knew I would not be admitted to any universities with such results. Since then, I kept blaming myself for the failure and felt I had lost everything. A week later, I soon realized that successive feelings of depression were meaningless. As life still goes on, I had to plan for my future. Since I was so determined to receive tertiary education, rather than re-sitting the HKDSE exam, I decided to take HKU SPACE's Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme (HDIT). At the beginning, as I used to be a biology student who had not taken any IT related subjects before, I always doubted whether I was making the right choice and was afraid that I could not catch up with the lectures. Surprisingly, what I had been worrying about was totally unnecessary as I discovered that the lecturers there explained every aspect of their subjects in detail and were willing to answer whatever you had questioned about. Since the courses were carefully arranged, I could progressively learn things in an in-depth manner. Apart from theories learnt from the lectures, students were given plenty of time to use different computer programmes and devices so they would be able to obtain abundant hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge at the same time. Even if you have any enquiry other than studying, like furthering your studies or your career path, you can also consult the lecturers for advice. Two years passed, I have received offers from both HKU and HKUST. This can best demonstrate that entering HKU SPACE's HDIT programme is not at all a regretful option. At last, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to HKU SPACE Community College for providing me an alternative way of entering the university.

The courses conducted by the college are well recognized by the Government and local universities. I entered CC and enroled in the Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream) after taking the HKALE. I found that I can learn, try and achieve new things in the CC. CC helps you to get a seat in the university. It is commonly seen students who have taken this programme receive offers from local universities. And the CC can also provide you with the opportunity of studying overseas. As for prospects for employment, CC has equipped us with the necessary Networking knowledge and skills for a job in this technological age which surely enable us to get into the job market. CC also provides college life experience for us. There are many clubs and societies formed by students. For instance, members of the Music Society perform a musical all by themselves annually. Furthermore, CC provides great chances for us to improve our interpersonal skills which will benefit us in the long term. We have done many group projects. Moreover, we can easily request for meetings with lecturers for enquiry about learning, further studies or career decisions. In conclusion, CC provides further studies, makes us a professional and helps us to link with the society. You can find your own learning style in CC. Hope all of you will find your college life meaningful and enjoyable.

HKU SPACE Community College provides a comfortable learning environment for students who seeking for further studies or finding an IT related job. “No Pain, No Gain”. After received the HKDSE result, I knew I could not become an university student. Luckily I have applied HKU SPACE Community College Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme through E-APP, therefore I kept on working hard to achieve my final goal in College. I put my largest efforts to work hard in studying and hoping to achieve my goal - enter to the university. HDIT programme provides different technique courses with theoretically lectures and practical laboratories to let us become familiar with those topics. In networking stream, students could have the ability to learn different network protocols and troubleshooting techniques. It is a good opportunity for me to study in the College with state-of-the-art computing facilities and enhanced my knowledge with passion. Studying in HKU SPACE Community College also offers us an opportunity to participate in an international competition namely the Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition.

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.

Everyone has a dream of studying in university. Unfortunately, I failed my HKDSE. After receiving my HKDSE result, I didn’t know where I should go at that time. Thankfully, I got into HKU SPACE CC and gained a lot from the Higher Diploma in Information Technology (HD IT) programme. During these two years, I learnt a lot from my lecturers and friends; not only academically, but also life experience. Lecturers would kindly share their experiences to us, especially work experience and their stories. They would offer a helping hand when we are facing problems. Besides, friendship is also an important treasure you will get here. Happiness and sadness should be shared with your friends. For me, I got a low GPA in semester one. Fortunately, my friends and lecturers supported me and encouraged me to put more effort in my study. Now, I am striving for CCENT in the coming year. HD IT is about different domains of information technology, and I have chosen networking as my major subject. In the networking stream, lecturers taught us networking step-by-step. For hands-on experiments, we can use routers, switches and other network devices to practise our skill in controlling them. Frankly, it is interesting for us to control the network by our hands and knowledge. I can still remember the satisfaction of making the network function. Apart from academic life, HKU SPACE CC provided many chances to improve my CV. I was selected to participate into the 10th Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition last year and awarded with merit. This competition has widened my horizons and expanded my resume, which is very useful for my future career. Last but not least, I am proud of being a student of Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme. Studying in HKU SPACE CC is not just only to learn knowledge, but also to bring a lot of unforgettable memories and make friends, who can fight for the goal together. Now, I am admitted to the Department of Computer Science at HKUST for my further study successfully.

It is hard to forget the bad days after releasing of HKDSE results. Eventually, I decided to study in the Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme at HKU SPACE CC. It definitely was a stepping stone for me to enter the university. The lecturers were very much willing to help us, which made me feel hopeful. They were teachers with heart and we could feel every lecture was delivered with full devotion. They conducted lessons with absolute verbal clarity, and they were so friendly that we did not feel embarrassed to ask them questions when we had difficulties. Also, they guided us to get ourselves familiarized with all kinds of network equipment in the laboratory. All in all, studying in CC was an extremely valuable experience. After lectures, they offered us information about admission to university and taught us how to perform well in interviews. As an IT student in the networking stream, I learned a lot of professional knowledge about CCNA and CCNP. I learned how to configure the routers and switches through different kinds of network protocols and cables. Also, all students had the opportunity to implement these protocols on real professional equipment. HKU SPACE CC provides us a lot of opportunities to enrich our profile. For instance, I was a helper in the admission day and I was recommended to participate in the Cisco Hong Kong-Macau Youth Networking Skills Competition. These experiences are very useful to help us to be approved by the university. In summary, I am grateful to the lecturers and I find myself fortunate to have studied in this college and related programme. Although this articulation route is a bit longer than others, I entered UGC-funded university and regained confidence eventually.

My learning journey on Information Technology dated back to two years ago when I joined the HKU SPACE Community College. A mass of practical knowledge provided here was certainly able to help me develop a career success in the IT industry through this programme. Obviously, a motto has always appeared in my mind after I have engaged in this programme, “Grades and results are not your goals for studying, competences should be the key thing for you to acquire here”. Applying the knowledge that we have learnt and equipping sufficient practical experience were the most valuable outcomes for me in these two years. The courses have equipped me with plenty of practical skills, the knowledge of IT governance, IS Audit and so on. It helps me realize the real life situation in this industry, rather than theories only. Meanwhile, all group projects and skill tests were able to strengthen my self-problem solving ability since we have to fix all predicaments that we faced on our own instead of seeking assistance all over the time. “No more relying on the others and waiting for the answer, try to solve it by yourself”. This might be the main feature of the educational culture of HKU SPACE Community College. When I look back in these two years, truly speaking, it is a treasurable chance for me to study at HKU SPACE Community College since the backgrounds and attitudes of the lecturers are tremendously professional and serious; their self-working experiences could be the guidance or model for you to step into the specific industry later on. And, these factors helped me acquire an excellent result and make use of scholarships for taking the examinations of different certificates, like ITIL, CISSP and CISA. Consequently, HKU SPACE CC has helped me build up a career success and provided something for which the universities might not be able to do so.

Offer accepted: HKUST Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science
After two years of study in Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme, I am really happy that I have finally received conditional offers from local universities. Eventually, I have chosen the offer of BEng in Computer Science from HKUST. The life in HKU SPACE CC is unforgettable. Below comes my experience of study in HD IT that I would like to share with you. First of all, be concentrated in the lectures. You should always remember your goal and do the right thing at the right time. Try to catch up with the lecturer's steps during the lecture. If you successfully do that, it will save you a lot of time in studying. More importantly, make a revision after every lecture. You may understand the materials well in the lecture, but you may forget everything if you make no revision. Studying should be treated as a daily routine. So, get into habit of studying. Also, try to get familiar with Google. Do not expect that you can learn everything from the lecturer during the lecture. Lecturers cannot teach you all the knowledge. “Give you a fish and you can eat for a day. Teach you to fish and you can eat for a lifetime.” Bear in mind that what we learn from the lecturers is how to fish. Do not bury your curiosity. Always strive to find out the reason behind the theory. “Chase excellence, success will follow.” Excellence is not only knowing what the things did, but knowing how and why they did. You should consult your lecturer if you have any confusion. If you are not comfortable to do so in front of the whole class, you could consider using E-mail. As the old saying goes: “Never give up”, it sounds preaching but it is truly real. If you give up, you will definitely have no chance. Certain percents of something is better than one hundred percents of nothing. So keep in your mind that miracle can only occur if you do not give up. The final thing that I would like to remind is that “Man proposes, but God disposes”. It is more than enough to do your best. Do not put too much pressure on yourself. Always remember that academic study is not the only thing in your life. Good luck.

回想起兩年間,從失望到迷茫,再重整心情、努力奮鬥,最終達成自己定下的目標。最初,只是因為對市場學感興趣而選擇修讀。但是,在修讀途中卻意外地有更多的得著,除了可以實踐理論、學以致用、發揮潛能外,透過專題研習更能加強溝通和與人合作的能力。當中畢業計劃書更是和組員用一整年的時間,由零開始,花了不少心血而完成的。 在港大附屬學院讀書,少不免遇上大大小小的困難,甚至會感到低落。不過,在這兩年期間,從講師、社工以及同學的身上,我明白到,每一段經歷的發生都有原因,每一項挑戰都能帶來豐富的得著。 感謝學院的栽培,令我的大學夢最終成真。追夢的過程雖然辛苦,但是只要相信和堅持,你,其實會比想像中得到更多。 只要付出努力,同學的收穫可能比我的更為精彩。

還記得當年放榜,收到高考成績單後,心情十分焦慮。在短時間內必須選擇自己的路:到底應該繼續進修,還是找份長工度過餘生? 經過深思熟慮,最後選擇報讀港大附屬學院商業學高級文憑課程,除了可為工作做好準備,從不同課外活動及實習機會中找尋自己真正的興趣,亦再次測試自己到底有沒有能力考進大學。皇天不負有心人,得到講師的悉心教導和指示,同學之間的鼓勵和支持,最後有幸獲得兩間大學取錄,繼續修讀喜歡的科目。 這兩年高級文憑生涯,讓我尋回自我,上了人生寶貴的一課。「態度勝過高度」,是一位講師常常提醒我們的,亦從此成為我人生的座右銘。在此再次感謝所有講師和同學。

大學學位,真的是遙不可及? 曾經,我兩次被考試擊倒。會考後再重讀中五,好不容易升讀預科,卻要面對另一考驗:高考。憑著不俗的成績,以為可以歡天喜地迎接來年的大學生活,不料卻失望而回,因為JUPAS Offer 只有一個酒店管理高級文憑。 我曾想過放棄,但身邊朋友不斷鼓勵我,建議我到港大附屬學院修讀高級文憑課程,既可有一技之長,也可以報讀大學!當時,我真的一點信心也沒有,心想哪有這麼容易的事。現在回想起來,幸好我做了明智的決定。 於是我選了Sales, Marketing and Advertising,課程與生活息息相關,一份理論,九份實踐。兩年的生活很充實,令我愈讀愈有信心。畢業那年,最令我意想不到的是我獲香港城市大學錄取,還有兩個Offers呢!所以,「一分耕耘一分收穫」的確是千真萬確。 大家一定要記著「俾心機,有轉機!」

Graduate of Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene (2012-14)
Without a doubt, this two-year programme is a very comprehensive course, which has fostered my development as a professional dental hygienist. All the training I received from the course can equip me to practically apply in my dental hygienist career. The communication skills developed in the Generic Skills Courses improved my language competency and built up my self-confidence. At the beginning of the course, the Problem-based Learning (PBL) module was definitely a challenge to me because this learning approach was radically new to me. From the presentations in the PBL class, I gradually learnt how to address the compelling practical or theoretical problem, communicate information and ideas to my peers. Proper skills in solving problem were also developed through self-learning and group discussion. The Clinical Training sessions offered me invaluable hands-on practical experience in managing and treating authentic patients suffering from oral hygiene / health problems. With guidance from the clinical supervisors, I learnt the skills to build rapport with patients and properly deliver treatment to patients who suffer from periodontal disease, dental caries or other oral health problems. The professional trainings I got from the Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene programme have undoubtedly been helpful to my career in dental health services. I am proud to be a graduate from this programme and to serve the community in Hong Kong.

It was a tough time when I found out that I had failed to get a place in a local university two years ago. It was HKU SPACE CC that gave me the opportunity to keep learning and better equip myself for the future. Aviation had long been my interest but it turned into my study major, enabling me to pursue my dream in the future. Apart from regular lectures on aviation-related knowledge, the College programme team offered us various internships and part-time working opportunities, as well as a lot of relevant activities throughout the two-year programme. Being able to really work in the field helped consolidate my own knowledge and exposed me to some new things that couldn’t be learnt in the classroom. I am really happy that I had these precious practical experiences. I believe these real-life working experiences did help me a lot in gaining admission to university two years later, and will definitely help me in the future when developing my career path. A lot of people see the study of sub-degree programmes as a waste of time and money, but I think, on the contrary, these two-years enabled me to think about what I wanted my ideal future to be, and turn it into reality. The time in the College is not only about academic achievement but about whole-person development as well. So please don’t close yourself off from society. Seize the opportunity and enrich your life in CC!

If you want to pursue your dream in aviation, it is not a bad idea to study in this programme. You will meet a lot of lecturers with strong experience and willing to share all they know with the students, so you will get a lot from studying here. I have kept a good relationship with some lecturers, even though I have already graduated from HKU SPACE CC. We sometimes have a dinner and chat about everything. The two years studying in the Aviation Studies programme were the most enjoyable moments ever, as you are studying something that you like. I have met a lot of friends with the same interests and share the same passion, so you will not be alone, if you are interested in aviation. There are many activities in this programme. I have joined two summer study trips to Beijing, Tianjin and Chengdu. Thus, I could visit an Airbus factory, flight training school and an aircraft maintenance hangar. You can learn a lot from the trip, such as the actual operation, working culture, and the aircraft structure in different countries. The lecturers will go with us, so we can ask them some technical or industry related questions, and you can learn a lot in those few days. We will have some local visits as well, like the HAECO and Heliservices visit. Every student will have a chance to visit those places to learn more about the industry. Some of you may want to be a pilot, flight attendant, etc. Thus, the College will have some workshops or seminars for the students. I have joined a two-day workshop of pilot interview skills. Due to the limited time, you cannot learn lots of knowledge about this, but you will know the most important criteria to be a pilot, so it gives you a chance to think about how to improve yourself to achieve your dream. You will also have a chance to fly the simulator with a pilot instructor, so you can know what it is like to fly. This course can help you a lot in preparing to join the aviation industry. How much you can get from this depends on how much you want to get. You will have a lot of chances here, so treasure every chance that you can get - this is the most important thing that I have learned here. I am now studying a BBA programme at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, majoring in International Shipping and Transport Logistics. I am still working hard on pursuing my dream. Dream Big! Fly High!

The Airport Authority Hong Kong- Operation Officer
Being a pilot is many teenagers’ dream, including me. However, it is definitely not an easy task, even we seldom gain knowledge related to aviation in our daily life. During the first year of study, I have gained a lot of basic aviation knowledge, like aeronautical knowledge, safety management skills and airport operation. We could even try to do a risk management project for helicopter operation and had a chance to visit the hangar of HAECO. Those learning experiences were really gratifying as I have always been an aviation enthusiast. And then before the start of year 2 study, I did have an opportunity to work with the aviation industry, I was a ground service staff and air cargo service officer. Those experiences let me transfer my knowledge learnt from classroom to practical skills applied in the industry. When proceeding to year 2, I further gained more comprehensive understanding of the operation of aviation industry, like air traffic management, human and environmental factors in aviation operation etc. The final year project also made me understand how team work and effective communication could be useful in business aviation. I also joint the International Federation of Airworthiness safety forum in Hong Kong, which gave me a chance to observe and realize what was happening inside the industry and what expertise they were focusing on. During my whole study of HD AS, I had joined two overseas aviation trips. I went to Beijing, Tianjin and Chengdu respectively to visit their aviation institutions and companies like Airbus production line in Tianjin and Beihang University in Beijing. Chengdu has always acted as an aviation hub like Hong Kong. Other than visiting aviation institutions and companies, we also toured the aircraft parts factory and maintenance hangar there. Now, I am continuing my study in university, but I believe what I learnt in CC will be beneficial to me life-long, especially to my career development in aviation industry.

I am Anthony, a year 2 student who loves and enjoys devoting myself to the aviation industry. Here is my 'adventure' in HKU SPACE CC. To start with, I would like to describe my academic experiences. All the lecturers from my course are industry specialists. Although they always have a tight schedule, they have fully supported to me if I encounter any difficulties. What's more, they have used their wide connections in the industry and prepared numerous site visits for students such as Cathay Pacific City and Heliservices. Apart from study and site visits, our College offers a variety of internship opportunities to us. For me, I have been working in Cathay Pacific Services Ltd. from January 2014. It has strengthened my knowledge and I have gained practical experience which benefits my future career and gives me a general picture of the ‘real world’. The College also organised various study trips for students. I took part in three international events: the Singapore Airshow 2014, the China Airshow 2014 and the Asia-Pacific Aviation Education & Training Symposium. In these events, we chatted with representatives of well-known organisations (e.g. Airbus, Boeing) and they always answered with a detailed explanation. It allowed us to learn cutting-edge technology from international talents. Sometimes, we exchanged contact details with them (i.e. Facebook and LinkedIn). And now to the most exciting part in my school life – Orientation Camp. From planning to holding, the programme team was not involved too much and students were the role players in this event. Better still, we could meet many new students and build up a positive relationship with them and guide them to the right way if they came across any difficulties. All in all, our programme provides vast and limitless opportunities for us. You can gain many valuable experiences unless you choose to miss out on the opportunities that are waiting for you. I hope you will join with us and be a next generation talent. Hope to see you soon! “Beware of missing chances; otherwise it may be too late someday” – Franz Liszt

The goal of being a pilot is my dream after a cockpit visit when I was 14 and it ignited my passion to Aviation for many years. Unfortunately, I started studying an Associate Degree in Social Sciences at HKU SPACE Community College after high school and then I transferred to the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme after my first year of studies. As an Aviation Studies student, I experienced plenty of valuable opportunities to learn about the Aviation industry through exchange programmes, oversea visits and internships. Most of our lecturers are Hong Kong professionals working in the Aviation industry. They are willing to “facilitate” our studies and share their experiences in the field by providing practical tasks in our courses. I remembered a remarkable assignment in the risk management course. We were required to perform a Risk Assessment on a local Aviation agent and my team was one of the top three groups in our programme and we won a ferry helicopter flight gift certificate. In addition, I benefitted greatly from a training tour in Korea for the Asia-pacific Aviation Education & Training Symposium which inspired me to discover the joy of working in the industry and through discussions with the Aviation experts from around the world. I was lucky to be one of a very small number of people who was selected as an intern at the Metrojet Ltd., a Hong Kong-based six stars private operator. During the summer internship, I participated in a number of strategic positions in various departments from Engineering & Flight Operations to Corporate Safety. I also received an overview of a typical Air Operator to understand the perspective between Business & Commercial Aviation which was great experience and starting point for my future development in the Aviation industry and developed my ability to learn new knowledge for my further training. Time flies, I will be spending my last semester in Aviation Studies. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to all the lecturers, staff and my lovely classmates in the programme. The joy of Aviation is built from passions, determination, dedication and insistence and I believe a successful “Aviator” should have these elements to keep their excellence. Never let obstacles stop you, strive focus on your passion.

“What didn't kill you makes you stronger.” I totally agree with this now. I failed totally in HKDSE, but it did not kill me. “Failure teaches success” It became the motivation of my study because I did not want to be a loser anymore. I determined to study hard to show that I am not only that. Finally, I chose to study in HKU SPACE Community College. I chose the Web and Multimedia Development Stream. It contains some programming and web authoring. This is my favourite domain and I am good at the subjects. I chose this also because the elective subject of ICT in secondary school is programming. I have been interested in programming since I was small. Another reason is that I may get better result in this stream. It may help me get into university easier. Time flies like an arrow… Of course not! This year is the most fulfilling time in my life regarding interpersonal and academic aspects. In interpersonal aspect, I have joined some societies. The camps are unforgettable, but more important is that I had met lots of friends there. I had a wonderful time with them. In academic aspect, I have learnt a lot from lecturers, classmates and the course. Lecturers are not only teaching us knowledge on the books. They also taught us the logic that how to think with professionalism. Moreover, they told us what is happening and the tendency of IT industry. In addition, the projects taught us a lot. We acquired knowledge from the projects. For example, I learnt how to write the algorithm or how to programme the website, etc. On the other hand, we learnt how to cooperate with our classmates. We had to divide the work and everyone had to finish their parts on time. A project could not be done individually. We helped and learnt from one another to finish every project. Those are unforgettable and precious memories. Eventually, I got into University. I can finally achieve my goal to further my study. If you chose HKU Space Community College, congratulations! This is your best choice!

在CC的兩年中,我有機會接觸市場學及管理學中的多個範疇,使我對這個學科具更深入和全面的了解。除了學習各種商業理論外,我們亦有機會在畢業專題習作中,把兩年所學習到的融會貫通,撰寫出一份屬於自己的商業企劃書,同時設計不同的宣傳攤位和店鋪陳設,有趣且具挑戰性! 在課堂上,經驗豐富的講師不但會分享不同的商界實例及自身工作經驗,亦經常主動了解我們遇到的因難,給予幫助。回想起我在首個大學面試的表現未如理想,幸得導師們給我鼓勵,我才有信心和動力繼續面對接下來的面試,最終獲得7家大學學位取錄。 作為商科學生,Hard Skills 和Soft Skills同樣重要。事實上,除了書本上的知識,領導才能以及團隊合作精神更是不可或缺。透過各個專題研習,除了讓我們的Hard Skills得以深化外,溝通技巧、待人處事等Soft Skills也得以提升。 作為2013公開試的重考生,我曾面對再次名落孫山的窘境,失去自信,迷失方向,沒有想過最終能滿分畢業,更沒有想過能考進心儀的大學。然而,在HKU SPACE CC修讀市場學及管理的兩年絕對是我人生中一個重要的轉捩點。在此,我感謝各位講師的教誨和指導。 “Chance favors only the prepared mind so plant your feet and stand firm!” 各位師弟妹,「搏盡無悔」,大學見!

公開試放榜後,我曾修讀不同院校的基礎課程及文憑課程,但因成績不理想,最終沒有完成課程。為了尋找自己的興趣,我報讀了港大附屬學院的高級文憑,主修市場學及管理。 在短短的兩年間,學院讓我裝備了不同範疇的商業知識,透過各式各樣的課外活動,例如實習計劃和海外交流團,大大提升了溝通技巧和自信心,也使我擴闊了國際視野。 在修讀課程時,總會遇到大大小小的困難和挑戰。最令我印象深刻的是我的畢專題習作演說比賽,從組員與組員之間的合作,到平衡各方的意見,以達成共同目標,在整個過程中都能夠讓我體會到團結一致和從錯誤中學習的重要性。 最重要的是,透過修讀學院課程令我能夠繼續升讀心儀的本地大學課程,追尋自己的夢想。 我衷心感謝每一位講師對我的教導、支持和鼓勵。謝謝!

在港大附屬學院修讀商業學高級文憑課程期間,無論是課堂上的生活化例子,參加實習和交流機會上得到的知識,均為我現在在大學的學習旅途奠下良好基礎。我尤其感謝講師在課堂上分享他們在相關專業領域上的寶貴經驗,確實令我獲益良多,亦為課程內容增添實用性。 我印象尤為深刻的,是畢業專題習作。畢業專題習作給予我們學以致用的機會,例如拍攝我們產品的宣傳廣告。 公開試失利的同學,一次的失利不代表整個人生的失敗,港大附屬學院為你們提供另一條向目標進發的道路。藉此機會,再一次衷心感謝學院講師的用心指導。

2015 Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies, HKU SPACE Community College
Through Architecture, I want to express myself in a more interesting way.
Architecture has always been a self-motivated discipline that demands great determination. Thus, it is undoubtedly a lifelong challenge to learn Architecture. While I found myself disappointed with the JUPAS result, HKU SPACE CC offered me an opportunity to rediscover my journey.
The Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies is a well-organized programme that provides all-round training for its students. It encourages the balance between 3-D designs and design resolutions, the exploration in historic and cultural contexts, as well as applications in the local practical field. In addition, witnessing is always one of the best ways to understand Architecture. A field trip will be arranged every year for students to interact with award-winning architects. In this way, students will also develop and sharpen their judgment while appreciating an array of masterpieces.
You will surely learn the attitude required to pursue a career in this competitive field by participating in the numerous job placements posted by the department every summer.
With a high level of autonomy, I was able to express my ideas through different media and in-depth research. Also, my work stayed consistent through cross-related modules in the programme. Taking full control over my projects, these two years of valuable self-learning experience taught me to be a disciplined learner.
More importantly, the 2-year programme enriched my portfolio with a collection of projects, with a scale ranging from delicate installations, public pavilions, to large museums. Having equipped with a solid base in design, I was able to further pursue my study for BA (Hons) in Architecture at the Oxford Brookes University.
Whether you would like to practise in the field or continue to study, this programme will certainly equip yourself with everything you need to achieve your goals.
Trust your instincts and never let go of what you want to do. The Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies programme at HKU SPACE CC might be another option to understand your powers and limits. Step out of your comfort zone and explore yourself.
To fellow students who are in pursuit of Architecture, I wish you all success in your future!

Graduate of Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene (2013-15)
I am so delighted for being a graduate of Higher Diploma of Dental Hygiene programme. The two years training from this programme supports me to handle and solve many big task of my job already, such as how to communicate with different patients. At the beginning of the programme, the clinical training session is very difficult for me, because I need to properly deliver oral health knowledge and treatment to my patients who suffer from periodontal disease. After two years training, I truly believe that the clinical training session helped me to build a good foundation of how to manage patients and treat periodontal disease. For the problem based learning (PBL) module, this is very new and interesting for me. All of us need to solve problems by ourselves and have sharing and presentation during PBL class. I believe that I have increased my originality and curiosity in the PBL class. The generic skills courses are also important that the diverse courses improve my language and communication skill. During the time I was studying in the programme, I met many good tutors who relieved an enjoyable and useful learning experience. I consider myself is lucky to have an opportunity to study in dental hygiene programme.

Bachelor of Aviation Management
After my HKDSE exam in 2013, I chose to continue pursuing my interest in aviation studies and thus applied to the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies (HDAS) programme at HKU SPACE CC. In this two-year higher diploma course at HKU SPACE CC, opportunities were provided to us to learn more about the industry, through local site visits and overseas trips. In 2014, the aviation programme team organised a trip to the Singapore Airshow to provide enhanced opportunities. During the event, we had an amazing time watching the flying and static displays of lots of aircraft. It was also most enjoyable having briefings and discussions with experts we met at the booths, like those from Boeing, Airbus, Royce Rolls, Jeppesen and also interacting some air force military personnel from different countries. Apart from the airshow, we visited the CAE Singapore, to have an idea of how they train their pilots and to obtain a better understanding of the facilities that can assist their cadet pilots in skills development during training. We had a talk with the tutors teaching Aeronautical Engineering at Singapore Institute of Technology and toured the campus to see what their students actually learn in their courses at the institute. In 2015, the programme team organised another trip for us to Seoul, South Korea to join the Asia-Pacific Aviation Education and Training Symposium (AAETS). In this particular event, we met lots of professionals from the industry, who are working on aviation education, airline training and even working for International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). We made lots of new friends through the symposium and we still keep in touch with them as hey have fortunately become our mentors in our aviation studies. During the trip, we also had a Junior Airport Management Course at Incheon Airport Aviation Academy, we visited the airside of Incheon airport and the maintenance hangers of Asiana Airlines, to understand more about the development of this location and how they concentrate their efforts on building new eco-friendly terminals and hangers at the airport. My 2-year HDAS study provided me with numerous opportunities to learn practical aviation knowledge and up-to-date information which better equips me to join the field in the future. We had local visits at Heliservices and Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department; internship programmes provided by various airlines and ground handling agents at Hong Kong International Airport. Throughout the internship and local visits, I can implement what I have and have a more holistic understanding of how the theories I learnt from lectures actually apply in daily airline operations and management. Moreover, as most of our lecturers are currently working in the industry, we can always get the latest industrial information and knowledge for our learning from them. After graduated from HDAS in 2015, I decided to have a gap year for half and a year before going to Brisbane, Australia for my bachelor degree. I applied to Hong Kong Airport Services Ltd. and became a Load Control Officer handling Cathay Pacific Airways’ passenger flights. I used the load control knowledge I learnt from my lectures back into my daily work, and the knowledge helped me to fit into my work quickly as the theories I learnt from college and job training are totally the same. I really feel grateful for meeting lots of experts from the industry, they taught us lots of updated information and knowledge for joining and fitting into the industry workforce. Now, at the moment I am typing this article, I have already arrived Brisbane and ready to start my degree study in Aviation Management at Griffith University. I received credit exemption based on the credits I got in my HDAS study and it takes only half and a year, which is half of the full degree duration, to get my bachelor degree and graduate. I am looking forward to enjoy my new life in Brisbane, know more aviators around the world and learn from each other, and the most important is, use the knowledge I will learn to contribute to Hong Kong aviation industry.

I have great aspiration in aviation, that's why I chose the Aviation Studies in HKU SPACE Community College in 2012. Throughout the two years, other than the knowledge taught by lecturer, the college also provides us opportunity to work at the airport or with different airlines. Luckily, I had a chance to work at Jardine Aviation Services as a ground staff. Although I only worked for a short period, I really enjoyed working in the field that I love. I am currently working in the Customer Service Department at Cathay Pacific. The time here is wonderful. Hope that other aviation-lovers can also find themselves from this programme.

Do you like aviation? Would you like to learn more about it? Would you like to join the industry? Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme is definitely your choice. In this course, what you can get is not just knowledge on handouts but also a valuable and unforgettable experience that actually bring you into the aviation industry. During the two years’ time, I had been to several airshows and overseas trips. Unlike those trips in secondary schools, we are now treated as one of the professional in these major events. We would be able to chat with experts from famous companies (e.g. Boeing, Airbus) as well as share their design and ideas of their company which make you feel that you are a member of the aviation family. In the Asia Pacific Aviation Education and Training Symposium, we got a chance to listen to a sharing giving by an Emirates’ manager who told us about his career path and daily responsibilities. These experiences helped me to develop confidence in the business world and understand the operations of aviation industry which is very useful for my future career. Moreover, one of the big differences between this course to others is that many lecturers and tutors have worked m the industry. They would share their daily job experiences that enrich the lessons and make the classes more practical and useful. We also have a lot of opportunities to join many different internship provided by industry like Cathay Pacific Services Limited, Metrojet and Heliservices. For those who want to be a pilot or flight attendant, the college provides different training workshops and professional advice. We are also given the chance to participate in activities like the Annual Aircraft Crash Exercise held by the Airport Authority, which gives us a bigger picture of the aviation in different aspects. If you like aviation and would like to join the industry, it should be you choice. What you can get here would be more than you expected. Now, I am studying in a BBA programme at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, majoring in International Shipping and Transport Logistics and continue to strive for my dream to be a professional in the aviation industry. Hope to see you in the coming future!

This programme provides both practical skills and knowledge about the aviation industry in Hong Kong and around the world, which has helped us to build a good foundation to develop our career path in the aviation field. For instance, this programme offered us several field trips that could broaden our knowledge and experience on how companies operate their business. Furthermore, sharing sessions by pilots and flight attendants allow us to have a deeper understanding of their job. Their experiences were also useful for us to enter the aviation industry in the future. In addition, internship programmes were offered to us as well, which provided a valuable opportunity for us to know more about the industry in Hong Kong and better equip ourselves to get ready to enter into the industry. Not only do we have internship opportunities offered by the programme, the lecturers of each course have worked in the industry in Hong Kong. They are experienced and also have rich knowledge in different aspects of aviation industry which is useful to students whom are interested in joining the industry in the future. The higher diploma programme not only provided practical skills and knowledge to me, but also gave me a chance to further my study in university. HKU SPACE CC is rich in resources and willing to provide all possible assistance to students, including me, to pursue a degree after graduation. Although my current study is not related to aviation, I would still want to work in the aviation industry in the future. If you are interested in aviation or willing to develop your career path in aviation industry, please do not hesitate and apply for this programme.

After my first year of study, I received two offers, a Bachelor of Engineering from CUHK and a Bachelor of Engineering in Energy Science and Engineering from CityU.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Web and Multimedia Development Stream, 2014-16)
Two years ago, I did not do well in the examinations and could not continue my studies in university. I was worried and did not know what to do, just like how you are feeling at this moment. However, I stumbled upon this quote and it changed my whole mentality on my situation: “Life always has its ups and downs. If it doesn’t, you are dead.” To me, this quote means that it is normal to succeed or fail in life. Without failure, one would not be able to treasure the success he has achieved and the same goes to the other way. With this in mind, I decided to look and apply for higher diploma programmes to further my studies. In the end, I picked the Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme offered by HKU SPACE CC and learned the keys to success in studying through the two-year programme. One of the ways to success is to choose to study a programme that interests you. Of course, nobody likes to study, but a course you are interested in will be much more preferable than one that you hate. In addition, you will feel more motivated towards the course as you want to be more familiar about the subject. Motivation will definitely help you achieve your goals, whether it is studying or working on assignments. Hence, if you are not sure of what subject that you are interested in, then give yourself some time on this website and look for a programme that you will have the most interest in studying and apply for it. Another key to success is to use your time wisely. Everyone has 24 hours a day. How you use those hours is all upon you. If you find a subject challenging, then spend more time studying on that specific course. If more hours invested on it and it still does not do the trick, then asking lecturers for assistance will be another option. Remember, lecturers are the best resources available to you. Use this approach wisely. Last but not least, the key to success is to learn from your mistakes. “You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.” You may have failed before, but many successful people fail all the time. What is important is that you learn from your mistakes and never make the same mistakes again.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Information Security and Ethical Hacking Stream, 2014-16)
I have had the greatest time of my life studying in HKU SPACE CC. For whoever refuses to join the competition of “whoever gets the best grades in HKDSE utterly wins everything in life”, I sincerely recommend you to consider joining HKU SPACE Community College for studying what you want, have an opportunity to enter the university, and kick start your amazing talent machine if you have yet to find out what your true talent is. An extraordinary gift was given to everybody when they were born, but they can never discover it if they spend most of their time studying subjects that they have no interest in. Understanding your interest can unveil your natural talent and further help you to perform amazing tasks that you thought impossible in the past. The lecturers always say to us “Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen”. I did not believe this at first, because I was uncertain about my study in information technology which I thought would be very similar to my study in my previous school. It turns out that my knowledge of information technology was too limited. There is no limit to knowledge, in HKU SPACE CC, I can choose the information technology specialty that I want to study, which I was expected to be just like most of the community colleges out there, “programming” or “networking”. But here is an extra specialty, “information security” which is so interesting that I had to choose it. Occasionally, we hit a brick wall when we study difficult topics, but the lecturers are so unlike the typical school teachers, they are super willing to explain everything we study, their passion motivates us, led us to discipline ourselves, to study harder every day. As a consequence, we can overcome any difficulties with the skills and knowledge we learnt here, helping us to become competent students. It is true that “something wonderful is about to happen”.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Information Security and Ethical Hacking Stream, 2014-16)
When I still was a Form 5 student, my friend who had studied in HD IT showed me information about the security stream. It was the first time to hear about the programme and I found it interesting. After the HKDSE results had been released, he even took me to the Kowloon East Campus for the HD IT application. That was the beginning of my life in HKU SPACE CC. Some rumors declare that it is so hard to get a high GPA in the security stream. I hesitated at that time as to whether I should study this subject. It was a big challenge, but I still selected it as my further study area. I have never regretted to make the decision. Lecturers always introduce the knowledge with their working experience. So we can clearly understand the key points or the ideas within the notes. This knowledge will equip us to be professionals. I feel lucky to study in HKU SPACE CC HD IT. Besides the knowledge, lecturers even share their attitudes on how to treat others. We have to consider other's views. That's why I consider the tuition fee is worth it. I am pleased to accept the offer from Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computing and Information System of HKBU. It will be a new stage for me to study. What the lecturers in HKU SPACE CC taught me can definitely help in my future studying and working. There is no difference between the salted fish and us if we don't have a dream. Lots of candidates just strive to study at university, but some of them have never thought about what job they want to do. I have found out. Being an information security professional is my dream. It pushes me to study hard. I hope that I can share my professional knowledge and experience with others. Security issues should be paid attention. I will strive my best to work in this field. All the knowledge that I learn will be included in my knowledge database to support my future job. I wish that I can make some contribution to the industry as well as the world.

14 July 2014, is the day I received my unsatisfactory results in HKDSE. It was a very tough period for me and I began to think about what my efforts had achieved. Fortunately, I got an encouragement from my friend, “The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose.” I then started my two-years of studying at HKU SPACE CC. The two-year Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme has taught me a wide variety of related knowledge and has given me an elated college life. I made many new friends, as well as those nice and patient lecturers. They provided many precious opinions on my study plan, which definitely relieved my anxiety. Majoring in the networking stream, the course introduces professional knowledge of CCNA and CCNP. I have learned switching, routing knowledge and most importantly, the practical skills. Through theoretical and practical teaching, I am provided with a solid foundation for future studies and work. I would also like to thank the college for providing the excellent facilities, as well as the wonderful work efficiency of the college staff.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Web and Multimedia Development Stream, 2014-16)
HKU SPACE CC opened my eyes to take up opportunities and to grow while having fun along the study life’s journey. Among the students from my class, most did their best during their examinations for university. However, I think I stand out as I didn’t take my public exam seriously like what others have done. I’ve been a playful student during my secondary school days with a mindset “I’ll never get in to university anyway, why try?” and the worst, “Only locals get to universities, I always have my home country to go back to and study there instead anyway”. I expected to simply work, take up Foundation Diploma or go back to where I’m from. With that said, I still think I’m playful but with a change of mind. I applied to HKU SPACE CC in case I’d be taken. Being able to reach the minimum and from the passion I’ve shown for computers, I did. This opportunity opened my eyes. I realized that chances are not meant to be taken for granted. I have striven and studied harder than my days in secondary school, and it bore fruit as I’m now able to get to university. During my stay, I’ve met like-minded and hardworking people. I can say that I’ve definitely matured over these 2 years with these people. Taking up Higher Diploma, it tremendously enforced what I wanted to do in the future and my interests, as well as know the things that I don’t particularly like. It’s been great studying here! I’ve always believed that everything happens for a reason. That there is a big, overall plan to each and every person, whether you’ve tried your best in your public exam, or the opposite. Just keep your head up high, and continue taking steps forward. It may not be the direction you’ve originally planned, but treasuring and grabbing opportunities that arise while trying your best will definitely lead you to a fruitful future! Keep your options open. Tunnel focusing university may help, but don’t stress over it too much. Good luck and have fun! To the ethnic minorities applying: Don’t let the language barrier stop you. Don’t be intimidated. Reach out, and you’ll find cool and awesome people that will accept you, like what they have done to me!

Two years ago, my disappointing DSE result made me feel depressed and I wanted to escape from the bad feeling. This programme has transformed me. At the beginning of my study of HDLIM, I was still not gaining outstanding academic results. However, as time went by, the content of the course really caught my interest and made me gradually forgot my poor performance in the public exam. I highly recommend this programme since it provides professional knowledge in an interesting way that can facilitate achievement in study. Different internships can also equip us to face the challenges of the workplace.

2015-16 Student of Higher Diploma in Engineering (Year 1)
I did not believe I would have an opportunity to study in The University of Hong Kong when my HKDSE result was released. However, HKU SPACE Community College provided me a second chance to pursue my university goal, with a quality education delivered by its Engineering Programme Team. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all lecturers who have taught me in the past year. They were not only teaching the knowledge from the textbooks, but also inspiring me to learn through lab sessions, training workshops and visits. After one year of study at HKU SPACE Community College, I am so happy to tell you that I was admitted to the Bachelor of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong. Thank you so much!

Upon the completion of the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme, I am well equipped with a concrete foundation of knowledge and skills regarding Airport and Airline Operations, Air Traffic Management and Aviation Security and Contingency Planning, etc. Through this programme, I’m pleased to have an opportunity to work in Heliservices as a part-time Casual Junior Duty Controller organised by the Internship programme. Through these experiences, not only have I equipped myself with various ground handling techniques, I have also developed strong critical appraisal skills in the aviation field. Now I’m working as an Airport Authority Operation officer in the Airfield department, not only has this programme enriched my aviation knowledge in airport management, it has also provided me with an opportunity to put my knowledge into practice. Aviation is not so much a profession as it is a disease.

Sin Lok Man, Cedric
Air Traffic Flight Services Officer III – Civil Aviation Department
The Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies (HDAS) programme offers comprehensive classroom training closely related to the aviation industry. Through internship programmes offered by HDAS, you can get hands-on experience which is important for aviation professionals. Site visits also provide a good insight of the working environment of different aviation firms. After the 2-year programme, students sharing a strong interest in the aviation field could work their way through and understand how the aviation industry functions. The programme prepared me by building a good foundation of knowledge for further development and it also inspired me to never stop learning as new things emerge every day in the aviation industry. Taking what I have learnt from the Higher Diploma Programme, I continued my study under the Bachelor of Aviation Management Programme in Australia. The bachelor programme consolidated what I have learned from HKU SPACE CC and took it to another level. Upon graduation, I stayed behind to undertake powered aircraft and glider training.
I love flight training and it is something one could never forget; every turn, every stall, every spin and every loop was a delight for me. I would love to thank my instructors from Darling Downs Soaring Club and Airline Academy Australia for giving me such an incredible experience. Returning from Australia, I worked part-time in various companies and looked for development opportunities in the aviation field. It was not easy finding the right job so I studied under the Advanced Aviation Education Programme (AAEP) in 2016 to refresh my skills learnt from flight training. In 2017, I started to work under the Civil Aviation Department (Hong Kong) as Air Traffic Flight Services Officer (ATFSO) III. Working in the aviation field is one of the most rewarding experiences, you can always find something new no matter how long you have worked in this industry; this is what makes the aviation industry fascinating. There is so much to learn and the knowledge is out there for your grasp. I could go this far in such a short time only because I choose the right discipline of study at the right place. If you have the enthusiasm and determination to go down this path, the HDAS programme will bring you the knowledge and experience you need to kick-start your aviation career.

Undergraduate, Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Aviation Operations and Systems
Aviation is a field full of challenges, where unexpected situations are happening every second all around the world. At the same time, it has a limitless future in terms of development, knowledge and people. Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme in HKU SPACE CC provides me a lot of valuable opportunities and great memories. I am one of the lucky participants to join the Singapore Airshow 2016. Before the trip, I could never imagine how stunning it would be when a fighter jet flies across the harbour just few thousand feet away from me. Study trips arranged by the programme are definitely amazing and have broadened my aviation knowledge outside the books. Therefore, with the previous experience in the Singapore Airshow, I realized that as an aviation lover I should not miss these unique chances; therefore, I am going to join the Shanghai tour and the Incheon Management Course in the period of my Year 2 study. The programme also strengthens my connection with the aviation industry. In the year of 2016-2017, I completed a 1-year placement in the well-known Hong Kong airline, Cathay Pacific Airways, in a position as Customer Service Specialist. This placement opportunity was offered by the programme. From the interview at Cathay City to my last day of work there, I had to deal with different challenges and problems that came with passengers or were asked by travellers. At that time, supervisors and colleagues in CX were kind to give me a hand to solve all the problems. I built up a good relationship with the staff working in CX.
Fortunately, the administrator of the department welcomes all the interns to take their positions full-time after graduation since most of us were awarded compliments from customers and had a good performance record during the placement. Also, Cathay Pacific organised several field trips and visits during my internship, for example a tour of Cathay Pacific Catering Services (HK) Ltd and a visit to the CX First Class Lounge in HKIA. Apart from study trips and internships, lecturers in aviation courses have abundant knowledge and are equipped with solid working experience in the aviation industry. They have a passion for teaching and are willing to share their expertise with students. It was a pleasure to hear their advice when I faced difficulties about study or future career because they could always give me comprehensive guidance. I was even invited to visit the Cathay Pacific Pilot Training Centre and walk into the flight simulator cockpit with my lecturer. What an amazing and unforgettable experience in my life! In addition, I was the leader of the organising committee for the Aviation Studies Orientation Camp of 2016. Due to a lot of unexpected reasons, my team only got 3 months for the Ocamp preparation, which included campsite/shuttle bus booking, helpers arrangement, city hunt routing, and event scheduling. Recognizing this tight schedule, the programme team gave us great support. In the Ocamp, my team and I were able to show our personalities and abilities like leadership, time management, organising, and even dancing! Do not hesitate to chase your dream, remembering every small achievement will lead you toward success. Dream Big and Fly High!

CHAN Pak Yui, Floyd
Flight Dispatch Officer, Cathay Pacific Airways
Throughout my two-year study in HDAS, I gained numerous professional knowledge, including Basic Aeronautical Knowledge, Safety Management & Risk Assessment, Human Factors & Performance, and Aircraft Weight & Balance and Dispatch. All of the lectures were delivered by local experts who have worked in the industry for a number of decades. Not only did they explain those theories in detail, but they also shared their valuable work experiences and insights into aviation developments during classes.
Aside from classroom teaching, the programme offered various activities to broaden our horizons locally and globally in the aviation field. To name a few, I attended the Trade Day of the Airshow to enjoy aerobatic performances and talk to key people from leading industrial enterprises like Airbus and Boeing. I also attended international conferences to listen to the latest and future developments in the field. I experienced a Trial Instructional Flight on a Cessna 152. Last but certainly not least, I enrolled in the Internship programme to become a frontline ground handling agent to perform check-in, boarding gate and arrival duties in the airport.
The HDAS programme has equipped me with essential skills and a worldwide perspective on the aviation industry. Even after joining the local flagship carrier, I still find what I learned and experienced in HDAS useful in my career. As a graduate, I have no doubt that HDAS is the right choice to get yourself well-prepared and pave your way to enter this challenging but fascinating industry.

Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) in International Shipping and Transport Logistics
If you never try, you will never know. Aviation is a fantastic industry. There are lots of opportunities, and if you take every chance, you will enrich your knowledge and widen your horizon. After studying the Aviation Studies programme at HKU SPACE Community College, I could learn different aspects of the industry, for example airport operations, aviation business, aircraft weight, and balance and dispatch, to name but a few. Those subjects provide a great chance for me to know more about this industry and get solid experience. Apart from knowledge, internship is a rare opportunity for students, and the College has provided several internships with different airlines. I still remember when the internship at Cathay Pacific was offered, I was hesitating for a while, because I was afraid that I was not competent for this job. However, my friends encouraged me to join this internship, and it was a good chance for me to affirm my capability. Although I worked for one year only, I felt care and warmth in this programme. Everyone, especially the staff and mentors, took care of us all the time. During the internship, I not only learned about knowledge, but also building relationships with different people and interacting with others. I hope everyone who loves aviation or aircraft can join this programme. It should be a wonderful experience for you. Exploring and developing yourself: remember that, if you never try to do it, you will never know whether you’ll succeed or not.

The most effective way to do it is to just do it. And, I made a good choice in 2014, the year I started my study in this programme. I will never forget the brilliant time I had and the experience I gained in this course created by our programme team, teachers and the aviation specialists. If you have a little interest and are curious about aviation, choosing this course would be a good start to you to know this field. Aviation Studies is a big family. We have many great and experienced teachers from the aviation industry. Meanwhile, the warm and caring programme team provides valuable opportunities for to bridge students’ knowledge of some practical skills, which is a must in any workplace. Outbound activities, internships, workshops, to name but a few, are the activities which widened my horizon, and developed connections to the industry. In 2015, I received an opportunity to work as a technical support member in a helicopter company. I felt excited and careful about this job. In 8 weeks as an intern, I was fortunately allowed to learn and gain experience from different departments, such as engineering, operations and quality assurance. The working time was enjoyable because the knowledge from lectures and books could be applied in an authentic environment. Hence, it made my study more meaningful and gave me momentum to study harder in order to get prepared for my career in my favorite area. Now, I am still working there part-time to consolidate my knowledge in aviation and maintain my connection to the aviation sector. Overseas trips are also precious chances for me to build up my world view. Visiting and being a participant in the international conferences, airshows and aviation companies were helpful in knowing the latest technologies and news in aviation. Beside the aviation knowledge, I will also know the cultural differences in various countries in terms of the regulations, attitudes and so on. The programme team brought me to see the world, which is an essential element for deciding my career and the future. It won’t be easy but it will be worth it. Success does not come to you; you have to go to it and make it come true. Let you dreams take flight here and now.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking Stream, 2015-17)
I discovered my life goal thanks to HKU SPACE CC. Before I started to study at HKU SPACE CC, I had the same mindset as many people that a person’s future is decided by their HKDSE results. Unfortunately, I failed my HKDSE gaining only 16 marks. I knew right then that a F.6 student could not find a long-term job with such a score, so I applied to study the HKU SPACE CC HD IT programme. At that moment, I never would have believed that one day I could actually go to university. However, today, I am proof that dreams can become a reality. While studying at HKU SPACE CC, my change in attitude has led to my current success. In the past, I didn’t pay much attention to studying and never really thought about my future. However, college lecturers are so different from secondary school teachers. They not only teach the knowledge from books but share their insights about life, letting you know how to enrich and change your negative habits and attitude. I have been transformed from a classic “lazy” student to much more enthusiastic person. I am not afraid of hard work because I believe that what I do is meaningful for my future. I got high GPA in semester 1 which was enough to prove my eligibility for university. HKDSE is not the be-all and end-all! So, if you are in a similar position, you should seriously consider studying in HKU SPACE CC in order to develop your experience and interest. Indeed if you feel equally lost, I believe that HKU SPACE CC can help you to change and enlighten your mindset and life. I recently accepted an offer form HKUST BEng in Computer Science. This would have been impossible without a combination of my personal hard work and the kindness and support I received from my lecturers at HKU SPACE CC. I am eternally grateful!

Before I graduated from secondary school, I had already decided to pursue my career in the IT industry. However, I did not perform satisfactorily in the HKDSE exam and fail to enter university. Luckily, I have applied for the Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme offered by HKU SPACE CC to continue to achieve my goal. This two-year programme provides me a broad range of knowledge, including computer programming skills, networking and information security. After I developed a solid foundation of this three major subjects in the first semester, I joined my interested stream - networking. The courses of networking stream introduce the routing and switching knowledge. The contents of these courses are all relevant to two industry certifications, CCNA and CCNP. After the accomplishment of my first year study, I successfully got the CCNA certificate with the first trial. In addition, I have a lot of opportunities to work with the physical network gears. Earning hands-on experience is essential and valuable. The professional lecturers not only teach me academic knowledge, they always share their experiences with us, provide guidance to us how to success in the workplace. The lecturers also led our college team to join the Cisco Networking Skills Competition, and we won most of the awards. The college provides a great learning environment and atmosphere to me. This programme helps me to equip myself to work and study in the university.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Information Security and Ethical Hacking Stream, 2015-17)
Studying in HKU SPACE Community College is the first important decision ever in my life that I have made in which I love every second studying here. These include the nervous moments when rushing for project deadlines and the last-minutes before going into the exam venue. After all, I am grateful for a lot of things and people in here. I appreciate the people I met in the college. Although it may sound cliché, lecturers are patient and helpful as for our learning progress. Whenever I ask for help in academics or in future career, they always offer help and insights that help me solve my problems and improve myself. Special thanks go to our subject leader Dominic Cheng and college principal professor L.S. Chan. I cannot imagine how much less I would achieve without you two’s help. All of my 18 classmates are friendly and smart. They always surprise me with excellent ideas I have never thought of. Speaking of classmates, it definitely includes our alumni friends especially Amon and his teammates for helping us through tough subjects and tough days. Isaac Newton once said, “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants”, and these people are the giants I am grateful for. Thinking out-of-the-box is something easier to say than to do. In my 2-year journey, we have been challenged by lecturers to keep asking them questions. In shell programming class, capture the flag (CTF) activities are breath-taking and fun. You should not have known the fastest way to solve programming challenges is by Microsoft Excel until it is done by your friend Peter sitting next to you. This kind of active learning atmosphere made me overcome my fear of failure which has been built over my life and started enjoying studying and programming. These are the lessons I will never forget, and they change my way of thinking forever. Hardworking has been proven as an important factor in personal success. But the term ‘hardworking’ is scary at first glance. ‘Hard’ and ‘Working’ are usually conceptualized into negative feelings. Some people describe me as a hardworking student because I get satisfactory GPA. However, my close friends and myself are all acknowledged that it is not the truth. I am just a curious person who recognizes that I know nothing at all. I am also a lucky person who figures out my interests in HKU SPACE CC and I hope everyone reading this story do so. I believe the right word is ‘enjoyment’. And I wish you have the best time learning here and enjoy every moment just like I did.

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.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Computing Stream, 2016-17)
Personally, this year has been my year of self-reflection and self-evaluation. You may be doubting yourself right now, but trust me, I had been in the same place. I can tell you that the best thing to do now is to treat this as a new beginning, and that’s exactly what I did in HKU SPACE CC. It is a good thing I have picked the right place to pursue my education. HKU SPACE CC provides a strong supportive backbone for students’ success, where workshops, seminars, mock interviews, counselling services and even visit to a tech company were available for enriching our education, and of course I utilized all of them for my academic success. Not enough? Believe it, lecturers and staffs will listen to what you have to say if you hit them with an email. With CC’s emphasis on team building, I got to meet many great people during group projects, and I managed to score some lifelong friends too! The programme of Higher Diploma in Information Technology provides you with wide range of knowledge that are both suitable for the workplace and further studies. Majority of the lecturers are not only equipped with course related expertise, but also with insights of the IT industry. Don’t be afraid to chat with them. Instead, you should take your learning outside of your classrooms whenever possible! Our lecturers also encourage us to explore with possibilities. Be it working in a big tech company, going to universities or creating the next big hit tech gadget. Before HKU SPACE CC, I already knew how to write a computer application on my own. However, after studying at CC, I know how to manage a project team, to enhance security and to troubleshoot networking problems in my application. From an elementary student in ICT, I have now become a more comprehensive student, ready to take on any challenges thrown in my way. Thanks to this programme, staffs and the teachers who have taught me, my passion in IT has been consolidated, and now I’m ready to take my education to the next level. My advice to you is to make alliance with people with common goals, take initiative inside and outside of your classrooms and at last, have a fantastic time in HKU SPACE CC, which I’m sure you will. At the end, I’d like to give a shout out to the ladies out there who are interested in IT but afraid to make the first step. With determination and hard work, you can get anywhere! If you ever feel lonely walking on this not yet popular path, come find me and we can empower each other in this endeavour!

Nothing valuable comes easy, people laughed at me because I gave up the normal path and made the decision to chase my dream two years ago, thought I have not completed my reason and become a pilot, at least I can tell everyone that making the decision to study here is undoubtedly a correct choice as it has provided me knowledge to do what I want to do, provided me the experience that allow me to be a competitive person in this society and industry, and most importantly happiness, as I have met friends here and lecturers who are always willing to help me out when I face any challenge.
Throughout the two year study here, I have learnt things like Risk Management, Basic Aeronautical Knowledge, Airline and airport operation and stuffs like that, every single aspect of the airport operation has been covered in the programme which has enhanced my knowledge towards the whole industry and most importantly, to get myself be well-prepared to join the industry. Besides, I had been working in Cathay Pacific as an intern for 1 year, as the position of Customer Service Specialist at the Global Contact Centre department, being able to work in such a giant company with great reputation at the age of 18,19 is nearly impossible, but this programme has granted the chance to. All in all, it is a great opportunity to work there and the one year experience was great, I have learnt so many things from that, which allows me to be a more all-rounded student and not just learning from books and notes, but also from real-life experience.
Also, I had been to Korea and joined the Incheon Airport Aviation Academy study trip in 2016, as you know, the Inchecon Airport is one of the best and most impressive airport in the world, having a better reputation than hundreds and thousands of airports in the globe including the Hong Kong International Airport. Aviation is an industry that is an international one, so to improve ourselves, we must take other places as reference, learn from their good and get rid of the bad. Although I have only joined one study trip, I have to say that you are going to learn more than just sitting at the library and read the books. As what Thomas Fuller said, He that travels far knows much, go travel the world, observe the others’ culture and you will find that you are just a small piece in the universe, and there are trillions of things you still have to learn.
Dream High, Fly High !
Be a part of us, instead of be apart from us !
Come join our family !

Flight Attendant, HK Express
Hi, I am Leo, a graduate from 2014 of Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies (HDAS). After graduation, I took the Bachelor degree of Aviation Management in Griffith University and had a wonderful experience of studied aboard in Brisbane Australia.
HDAS provided many opportunities for site visits which gives students to learn on the field rather than only focus on the theories. During 2 years studies in HDAS, I had visited different aviation organisations in Hong Kong such as Heliservices and HAECO. Also, I had joined three different Study trip and had treasurable memories and knowledge gain from the trip. Visited the Airbus A320 production line at Tianjing, visited varies organisations related to aviation education including Universities and factories in Beijing and Sichuan, also visited Singapore Airshow helps me to know more about the development of modern aviation. I am glad to have chances to attend all three available study trips during my study. I had learn much not only the knowledge but also social skills which is very important in aviation because aviation is also about the connection to the world.
These two years in HKU SPACE CC really helps me to build up confident and decided to go for study aboard. Thanks for the partnership between HDAS programme team and Griffith University that I had benefits from credit exemption which let me finish the degree programme within two years. I had joined University’s flying club and soaring society to have some hands-on flying experience. It was amazing but felt nervous when I had a first flight on a pilot seat having my own controls on takeoff. Luckily I had my instructor with me and had some flight simulation experience on the lab before during the time studying HDAS that made me remain calm for the rest of the flight.
I am now working at HK Express as a flight attendant. HK Express is a LCC and had many differences compared to legacy airlines. What are those differences? I was heard and learn from the HDAS for the first time of what LCC is. Aviation is still developing and will keep glowing in the future. Let join us and share the passion of the sky!

Logistics Engineering with Supply Chain Management (Year 3), The University of Hong Kong
Failure in public examination did not put me off two years ago, yet I grasped the chance to study Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme in HKU SPACE CC. I have long been fascinated and intrigued by aviation industry. This programme consolidated my knowledge in aviation which aided me to pursue my studies in The University of Hong Kong afterwards.
Throughout the 2-year study, this programme provided me with aeronautical knowledge, not only theoretically, but also practically. It was fortunate for me to take part in Singapore Aviation Study Trip in 2016. It was really a tremendous opportunity, truly invaluable to step away from classrooms, and more importantly, to attend a biennial aerospace event - Singapore Airshow. I was astonished by the aerobatics flying display and I was really grateful to have a chance to view the impressive array of advanced avionics in cockpits, for which I probably could not learn from books or lectures.
I believe there is still a long way for me to go. Thanks to Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme, it paves the way for the pursuit of my studies and future career. I am now striving hard to seize the opportunity so as to devote myself in aviation industry in the near future.

Customer Service Assistant, Airport Authority
As an enthusiast aiming to enter aviation industry, I am so glad to have studied Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies programme at HKU SPACE CC, at which I have acquired a variety of practical knowledge and experience. Thankfully, I am currently studying the Bachelor of Arts at The University of Hong Kong, and holding the post of Customer Service Assistant at the Airport Authority Hong Kong.
This programme, I believe, was an essential pathway to both academic achievements and successful career. Not only did the courses offer an array of aviation knowledge and theories, but also great opportunities to have hands-on experience that enhance my analytical competence. The one impressing me most was definitely the project on risk management for Heliservices (HK) Limited. Through the process as a leader in a group, I was inspired to utilise a variety of systematic approaches for accurate and comprehensive analysis of safety hazards identified, as well as their potential cumulative consequences. Examples were cost-benefit analysis and CLEAR Model of decision making, to name but a few. My group’s outstanding analysis, thankfully, was appreciated by aviation professionals and lecturers, hence we received Heliservices Outstanding Safety Risk Management Project Award, and won a free helicopter ride. So effective were the analytical methods that I got used to thinking in multi-dimensional, critical and logical way. Since these are the indispensable factors of academic achievements and successful career, this programme is no doubt beneficial for anyone who pursues further studies or position as a professional operating personnel in aviation industry.

Chan Wing Cheong George
Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Computing Theme, 2016-2018)
After studying in HKU SPACE CC for two years, I found that although my DSE result was not good enough to apply for university, I was definitely not a failure. I failed my HKDSE Chinese subject so I continued my study in HKU SPACE CC, where I learnt much more knowledge and practical skills than my friends who were studying in university. When they were learning mathematics which were not required in daily life or workplace, and were attending many courses that are unrelated from their majors, I had already built a solid foundation in the knowledge of coding, database, system, networking and security. When I turned on my laptop, I felt like I had become a professional because since I could really apply what I learnt in the lectures. It gave me a sense that I was really learning something useful. If I passed the DSE and studied in university, I might still be studying theories and mathematics and could do nothing in front of a computer. Without practical skills, I would be absolutely worried about my career. Studying in HKU SPACE CC was really a turning point in my life.
Apart from this, most universities tend to require students to study engineering for one year before choosing the majors, which means we have to spend one year learning something unrelated to our majors, even if we are not good at or interest at them. If we cannot achieve high marks in those courses, we will not be able to choose the desired majors in year 2. Instead, HKU SPACE CC offers higher diploma programmes which we can directly choose our preferred subjects. For example, I plan to work in the IT field and so I applied for the Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme. What I learnt were all related to IT. After finishing the programme, students can continue studies at university if they achieve a good GPA. In another words, students do not have to study that “risky” year 1 in university. Instead, they can choose to study for 2 years in HKU SPACE CC. You can even apply for admission to senior years at a university after completing a higher diploma programme. As competition in higher diploma programmes tends to be lower, it may be easier to achieve good GPA. Last but not least, all lecturers I met were experienced and were willing to help and share with us their precious experience, which were definitely helpful to our career planning. Do not hesitate to talk with the teachers and enjoy the advantage of studying in HKU SPACE CC!

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking and Information Security Theme, 2016-2018)
I was once a person who did not have any goals and dreams. I even did not have any motivation in taking my HKDSE and of course, the result was quite disappointing. After receiving the HKDSE result, I struggled for a long time for which programme I should choose for my further study because I didn’t even know what my interest was. As the deadline for applying programmes got closer and closer, I forced myself to make a decision which was to apply HDIT in HKU SPACE CC. This decision has changed my life and the way I think.
Just like starting a new journey, I learnt many new topics during my study in HDIT at HKU SPACE CC. I was given the chance to explore the knowledge about programming, network fundamentals, as well as information security which I found the most interesting. The courses not only taught us about the theory but also allowed us to practice our hands-on skills such as configuring physical appliances. This kind of teaching method made me easier to understand the concepts and grasp the techniques. Also, I gained valuable experience through participating in the 2017 CCNA Netriders Competition, which broadened my horizons and aroused my interest in the IT subjects.
In addition to teaching us the knowledge, lecturers also kept a good relationship with us. We can approached them for help either in person or via email freely and they always replied us patiently with detailed explanations. During the lessons, they always shared their personal experience with us and encouraged us to proactively think about our next stage of development. Their kindness and fervour motivated me a lot.
Thanks to HKU SPACE CC, I can now find my interest, set my goals and strive for them with motivation. This two-year journey at HKU SPACE CC so far is the most valuable and unforgettable experience in my life.

「你的英語一定很棒!」「那你到底是學些什麼的?」這是別人聽到我大學諗翻譯的常見反應。當年在附屬學院重點提升英語能力,行文通順是基本,靈活變通才是精髓,既要掌握能登大雅之堂的正式文體,也要熟悉通俗地道的常用語。良好的語文基礎不足以成就出色的譯者,還需要培養敏銳的觀察技巧、慎思明辯的思考方式,才有機會譯出文章的弦外之音。翻譯不是非黑即白的學問,需要不停探索,持續不斷地鍛鍊。如果你願意接受挑戰付出努力,也許你會譯出一片天!

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (2008-2010)
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.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Networking and Information Security Theme, 2016-2018)
In June 2016, I was working in Ottawa and started planning to further my education in universities in Hong Kong. As I did not do well in public examinations, I did not meet the requirements to get into the local universities in Hong Kong. I began to seek for advices from people around me. Some of my friends who studied in HKU SPACE before were also graduated from some of the local universities like HKU. Their experience showed me a path to fulfil my goal. Based on the information provided on the website of HKU SPCAE, I thought HKU SPACE will be an ideal platform to equip myself. Therefore, I decided to study Higher Diploma in Information Technology in HKU SPACE (HDIT).
As I was a science student in secondary school and did not study subjects like ICT, I used to think HDIT will be very challenging to me. At the first few lessons of some of the courses in year 1 semester 1, I was very confused about the jargons and terms that the lecturers were talking. I put some efforts to search for explanations and try to follow the lessons. Fortunately, I started to understand more and the lecturers are very helpful to answer our questions. As a result, I got a satisfactory GPA and it gave me more confidence to study. At the end of year 2 semester 1, I received a conditional offer from HKUST in BEng in Computer Science and I realized I have finish almost half of my goal.
During the study in HDIT, I learnt many knowledges in networking, information security and programming. I believe everything I learnt here will be very useful for my future study and career. At the same time, I knew some friends here and I really appreciate their help and the time with them. As “All roads lead to Rome”, I think HKU SPACE is a good platform to equip ourselves to study further and work in the society. Everyone would find a way for yourself if you never give up the chances in front of you. Wish you all the best and good luck for your study!

When I first studied this programme, I was lost and couldn’t find my path in the future. After two years of study, I knew that I gained a lot from the programme.
This programme allowed me to join various activities. I was fortunate to be given a chance to attend study trips to airshows, conferences and training. We had the opportunities to communicate with the experts in aviation, to have a closer look at all kinds of aircraft and aviation technologies. Apart from learning, the college also arranged sightseeing sessions during the trip. I did have fun and enjoyed participating in these activities, which enhanced my interest in aviation and the bonding between classmates. It was also beneficial to our personal development by gaining exposure from different cultures outside of Hong Kong.
Besides academic activities, the programme team also arranged some extra-curricular events like orientation camp, fellowship dinner and barbecue party for current students and alumni. You may even have a chance to organise an event on your own, from planning to implementation. This programme offers opportunities for you to let your creative juices flow and enables you to put what you have learnt to good use.
Remember, every end is a new beginning.

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.

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!

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.

Most people do not understand about aviation industry and believe that this industry is only related to flight attendants, pilots and ground staff. In fact, there are many other specialists in this industry apart from what you imagine. If you have ever read a book called “Moments of Truth” by Jan Carlzon or have explored this industry on your own, you will know how professional this industry is.
Throughout the two-year study at HKU SPACE CC, the programme has enriched my aeronautical knowledge in every single aspect of the industry. Ranging from fundamental introduction to specific technical knowledge, a lot of areas have been covered in this programme. For example, the course syllabus of Aircraft Weight Balance and Dispatch is derived from the Jardine Aviation Services training materials, which has enhanced my knowledge in specific aviation profession. To sum up, all materials covered in this programme not only focus on theories, but also the practical aspect, which provide me with essential knowledge and skills.
On the other hand, I joined several study trips during my study at HKU SPACE CC. The most remarkable trip was the Singapore one. The Singapore Airshow is one of the most famous airshows in the world. It hosts high-level government and military delegations, as well as senior corporate executives around the world while serving as a global event for leading aerospace companies and budding players to make their mark in the international aerospace and defense market. This event was amazing, not only because of those real jets displayed but also the aerobatic flight performance. If you like aircraft, especially military one or the one who like chatting with aviation specialists from different sectors (Business, Civil or Military), here is where you must come.
This programme, I believe is an essential path to both academic achievements and successful career goals, and there is still a long way for me to go on. I truly believe that the future is in our hands. Only through strengthening my convictions can I motivate myself to strive for excellence and pursue my dream in the aviation industry.

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.

BSc (Hons) in Aviation Operations and Systems, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
In my experience, HKU SPACE provides a great learning opportunity for students who want to pursue their career in different fields such as aviation, nursing, business management and so on.
I joined HKU SPACE back in 2016 to seek knowledge and experience in the aviation field. The two years of higher diploma course in Aviation Studies enabled me to obtain professional skills and knowledge in this sector. Some of these are aviation operation, management, case studies on future development, human factor, safety risk and assessment, etc. All of these modules were taught by high calibre professors, who had many years of experience in their respective specialism in the aviation industry.
Apart from teaching elements in the classroom, the programme team also ensured that we get more exposure and learning opportunities in the professional world of aviation. Some of these opportunities took me to Singapore Airshow 2018, Australia and Junior Airport Management course at Incheon Airport Management Training Academy. Participating in these programmes greatly increased my knowledge, skill, vision and most importantly a motivational boost for me to be a part of this industry in the future.
HKU SPACE CC has some of the best facilities such as a physical and online library, self-learning common rooms, IT equipment, etc. Which ensured that students are not restricted when it comes to learning. My friends and I used these facilities to the fullest for our course assignments, presentation preparation and occasional chit-chats.
Overall, in my opinion, the college has not only built up my understanding in aviation but also paved a way for me to meet my goal of becoming an aviation business analyst. I am currently studying further to obtain my degree in Aviation Operation and System at a reputable university. This would not have been possible had I not have a solid foundation in aviation.

Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Aviation Operations and Systems, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Two years ago, when I received my DSE result, I chose to study a Higher Diploma programme as I didn’t received any offer for a bachelor’s degree programme. I had no idea about aviation before I took up the studies. I chose this programme because of a simple reason. I love travelling! Now, I can say that I’m glad I’ve made the right decision.
At HKU SPACE CC, I have learned a lot of aviation knowledge such as basic aeronautical knowledge, airlines business and management, cargo and customer services, airport and airline operations and safety in the aviation industry. Those knowledge are useful for my future as I am going to work in the aviation industry. The most special thing about Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies at HKU SPACE CC is that all of the lecturers are working in the industry. They are all from different aviation companies or organisations such as Airport Authority, HKCAD. They always share their working experience with us so that we can have a better understanding of the industry.
Besides studying in the class, this programme provided a lot of opportunities of study trips experiences. During my two years of school life, I have joined three study trips to Zhuhai airshow, Singapore airshow and Korea Incheon Airport Academy. They exposed me to the knowledge that we couldn’t learn from books. Those are my best memories at HKU SPACE CC.
In 2018, I had the honour to participate in the one-year internship programme at Cathay Pacific to be a customer service officer at the airport. Working at the airport not only allowed me to apply what I have learned at the College but also exposed me to real-life experiences as a customer services officer, which included communicating with people from around the world. Those experiences helped me better equip myself for future career.
Although I have already graduated from HKU SPACE CC, I still keep in touch with the programme team and lecturers of the Higher Diploma in Aviation Studies. For me, HDAS is a big family. I have made a lot of good friends here.

Time flies and two years passed in the blink of the eyes. If you ask me why I chose this programme in aviation at the beginning, I can tell you that I chose this programme because I felt that travelling by plane was an interesting experience.
In these two years, this programme provided me different chances to study, not only in theory, but also practical sessions, such as fire drill in airport or helicopter visit. These allowed me to learn different aspects in the development of aviation industry. Moreover, internship was offered to give us chance to have hand-on experience in the airport, which helped us learn how to apply theories into practice. I was delighted that I could join the internship programme. I had unforgettable memory from the programme. Working in airport was not easy and it was full of challenges. Besides, I felt working in shift duty was the most difficult for me because I had to adjust myself to work any time, no matter day or night.
From the internship, I understood more about myself, and realized that I had a lot to improve. You will not succeed by just sit there and think. Taking action is important as it can create a road to success. Try more when you are young!

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.

The most memorable parts were the days when I had my own hands on the yoke, controlling a Cessna, and watching aerobatics being performed right above me. As a person passionate about aviation, study trips provided me with excellent opportunities to share experiences with people from other parts of the world who also worked in the aviation industry.

After completing my NSC exam in November 2016, I was anxious about my future and my academic path. I returned to Hong Kong in December 2016 and attempted to apply to German universities. However, I got rejected by every university that I applied. Then my parents told me to apply for HKU SPACE CC to see if I could work my way back into a university.
In September 2017, I joined HKU SPACE CC and it marked the start of my tertiary education journey. The lecturers were professional, enthusiastic and down-to-earth; they were always keen to help students who needed extra help. The stream that I chose (Computing and Data Science Stream) gave me an in-depth look into the foundation of Computer Science. The College allowed students to choose the stream that suited their personal interests, ultimately making it easier for further study in university.
Anxious about your future? Don't worry! There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. The question that you should have in mind is – is it really that difficult? Keep your heads up high and good luck!

Graduate of Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene (2017-19)
I started my career in dentistry as a dental surgery assistant before being enroled into the Dental Hygiene programme. It is indeed my luck and pleasure to have the opportunity to further my study in the dental field. I still remember how excited I was on the day I received the offer.
HKU SPACE Community College, with the support of the Faculty of Dentistry of HKU, provided a qualified and complementary course. Throughout these two years, my life has been significantly enriched and enlightened. The instructors were very knowledgeable, approachable and caring, and they taught from a problem-based approach, which enabled us to gain in-depth understanding of the topics and develop advanced reasoning skills. I am certain that the clinical experience and guidance acquired in the programme will lead me to a successful and rewarding career.
Dental Hygienist is a career more than earning a living. It is interesting because we perform a wide variety of tasks to prevent oral diseases and promote oral health. In addition to enhancing one’s quality of life, it is a wonderful adventure to communicate with different people from all walks of life.

2020 Year 2, Higher Diploma in Information Security
When I was in Form 5, I have applied Computer Forensic Technology, one of the Applied Learning Courses offered by HKU SPACE. At that time, I have already built up my interest in Information Security and determined to enter this career field in future. Besides, with the advancement of technology, I believe that Information Security specialists stand as a very important role, while it is a relatively new domain in the IT industry. Foreseeing the potential and the importance of Information Security, I am determined to study this programme.
Information Security is not just about technology, management skills are essential as well. This programme provides common IT courses such as programming and networking. Apart from that, you will learn specialized technical skills through hacking and computer forensics, while learning management skills through auditing and Information Security management. After studying this programme, I have realized Information Security is more than an IT subject because it relates to other subjects and areas.
Even though I could not achieve the local universities entrance requirements after my public exams, HKU SPACE Community College has given me the second chance. The learning environment is comfortable, students are motivated and eager to learn. My sincere thanks go to the lecturers, they are professional, patient, and willing to help and support us. The best part of this programme is being taught by lecturers who are working in this industry. I always feel excited when they share their stories and work experiences.
More talents are needed in this industry. If you are interested in information security, do not hesitate to apply for this programme. You will gain more than you think and have a taste of the adventures in the world of Information Security. I look forward to seeing you and hope you enjoy the journey.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Computing and Data Science Theme Year 2)
After graduating from secondary school, I studied an associate degree programme at a community college. However, due to my inability to adapt to a new learning environment and my poor habit of not doing school work, I performed poorly and could not complete the programme. In hope of continuing my study, I retook DSE in 2018, hoping to improve my results and get a place in a university through JUPAS. This unrealistic expectation turned out to be another failure.
Instead of giving up, I self-reflected and concluded that I should learn from my mistakes and improve myself. Self-discipline and time management are essential for success, and I developed a habit of keeping an organised schedule, urging myself to perform the duties of a competent learner.
HKU SPACE CC provided me a second chance. The courses that HDIT offers closely adheres to my interest, and I was able to choose my desired stream (Computing and Data Science stream). The CDS stream gave me insight into Computer Science fundamentals, such as data structures, discrete mathematics, and object-oriented programming. I also had the opportunity to take an internship, which gave me first-hand experience in using emerging IT technology and cooperate with colleagues.
CC also enabled me to meet some great people. Lecturers are friendly and caring, and help is always available whenever I needed. I have also made some fantastic friends, who helped me tackle academic problems and group projects. One of my friends, who is a senior, greatly inspired me to aim higher and work harder to achieve my goal of getting into a university.
The future may seem uncertain and you may feel lost; keep calm, carry on and you will eventually find the right path.

Miranda CHAN
2018 Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies, HKU SPACE Community College
My school life in HKU SPACE CC was fruitful yet challenging. Here are the five key elements that summarize the 2 years of Archi-life.
First, team work is quintessential to every aspect of my learning experience, from learning to cooperate and communicate, to achieving a goal that could not otherwise be achieved, to sharing ideas and learning from each other. This makes you and the team/ classmate grow together.
Second, active learning is part of architecture. While an engineer knows everything about something, an architect ought to know something about everything. This is very different from secondary school life, where instead of being told what you must do, you must decide on your scope of study and decide on your design direction where there is no right and wrong. For example, in one of the projects we participated - Together We Build, we were given an objective to design a furniture for an elderly center. To build something, you must understand a lot of different aspects, including the end user, the site and the surrounding environment. You must also decide how to conduct your own survey. You need to constantly put yourself into the end users’ shoes to build a good design that suit their lifestyle.
Third, a “can-do” mentality is crucial to an architectural student. You should never give up before you try, because then you would never know what you are capable of. One of the projects we built was a 1-to-1 scale model, and we chose an aquaponics system, which turned out to be incredibly complex, extremely difficult. But more importantly, doable.
Which brings me to the fourth point. Passion is what helps you through the day, gives you the “can-do” mentality, and helps you knock down obstacles one by one. Architectural students are those who keep improving the design within the time given—although there will be obstacles. Having passion is what drives one to overcome them, making us stronger and more persistent, and helping us overcome our failures.
Fifth, I’m also glad to have such a great team of tutors and mentors here. They are very experienced in their fields, some are even still working in the field and therefore are knowledgeable with up-to-date practical suggestions, know-how and advice. They are all willing to and patient to share their thoughts and experiences, which has sped up my learning curve.
Architectural study is really fun, because it is not just about schooling; it is a mindset, a way of thinking and a key for us to open up our curiosity to everyday life.

Before knowing about new media, I felt frustrated in study as I would never achieve a satisfying result no matter how much effort I made. Coincidently, I met New Media and Communication. I found it to be interesting for me and gave me fuller motivation to get deeper into it. This course emphasizes practical techniques rather than theories. In these two years, I have become familiar with market analysis, photography, video shooting, softwares such as Premiere, After Effect, Illustrator etc. The most impressive experience was the studying trip in Japan. Visiting Japanese TV studio and media school broaden my knowledge. Overall, New Media and Communication provides comprehensive new media knowledge which gives me a clear future direction and career path.

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.

2021 Undergraduate, BEng (Hons) Air Transport Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
I am glad to have studied for the Higher Diploma in Aviation and Piloting at HKU SPACE Community College. I believed that many people had a dream like me, to pilot a plane and fly in the sky. When I was in the secondary school, I was certain that I wanted to become a pilot in the future. I love flying and believed this occupation would suit me well. After completing my secondary education, I struggled to find a suitable aviation-related course in Hong Kong—especially about flying. Finally I discovered HKU SPACE Community College, which offered the course on aviation and piloting.
2019-20 was my first year at HKU SPACE Community College. It was my most memorable year in which I took part in the Australia Aviation Study Trip. During the trip, we secured many precious opportunities such as a trial flight at Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne. I was allowed to sit at the front of the aircraft with my instructor, and I would never forget the excitement during my first take-off and landing. I was so energized because I knew it was one great step toward my dream, and it confirmed that I had chosen my future career correctly.

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!

Information security is increasingly important nowadays. Under the current covid-19 pandemic, we go online in many aspects of our lives. Therefore the awareness for information security has risen.
In this programme, I learned to integrate different domains of information security such as audits, network security, and forensics. At the same time, I also learned two types of programming languages for my future studies and work. Apart from the hard knowledge, our lecturers also introduced the operations of the information security industry. For example, I learned when we should obtain an information security certification and the objective of different certifications.
If you wish to enter the information security industry in the future, this course can help you to understand it deeply. If you want to continue to study, it can also help you build a solid foundation in computing knowledge.

Owing to my personal issues, I had interruptions in my academic studies in the past years. I have several years of experience working in the IT industry, and I like new technologies a lot. So I decided to engage fully in this industry and become a software engineer. I realized that in order to make my dream come true, I need to strengthen my caliber and competency in IT technology. In addition, I must acquire the appropriate qualifications. Therefore, I decided to resume my studies in IT.
I had applied for many local IT courses and programmes in 2019. Fortunately, HKU SPACE CC gave me a chance and offered me a place to study in the Higher Diploma in Information Technology programme. I treasured this invaluable second chance very much, therefore, I took every subject in the course very seriously.
The programme was very well structured--starting with the basics and progressing to the advanced computer theories including networking, data structures, and programming--which helped me to understand and enrich my computer knowledge. The part that I liked most was the proactive and warm learning atmosphere in the classes. The college encouraged students to work in groups. Also, students were willing to help each other when they encountered difficulties instead of competing with each other like enemies. With the sincere and passionate help from the lecturers and my fellow classmates, I was able to achieve satisfactory academic results in my first year and got a valuable offer from my desired university to continue my undergraduate study.
Dear fellow schoolmates, no matter what you plan to do--to work or to continue your studies--the HDIT programme is a perfect pathway. In two years’ time, I have been transformed from a hopeless youngster into to an enlightened student. And now I am full of hope. All of this would not have been possible if HKU SPACE CC had not offered me a second chance. All my hard work paid off. Please do not lose faith in yourselves, everyone is capable of success. If you have a dream and are prepared to strive for it, it will come true!

Remembering how I chose HKU SPACE CC:
After 2018 HKDSE, I marginally missed out on a chance to go straight into university because of the Chinese Language requirement. I then decided to take a risk and go for HKU again by choosing HKU SPACE CC, since HKU SPACE CC students had the bigger shot getting back into HKU, and it was a hell of a journey!
Life During my time in HKU SPACE CC:
In these two years of study, it was a bitter-sweet experience, but I did enjoy my time there. Even though the environment was not the same as those studying AD Engineering in KEC but flying from one campus to another makes our life in HKU SPACE CC more memorable, as I and my mates had left many memories on different campuses! Some lecturers were very passionate and helpful in helping me understand the academic knowledge, as well as supporting me to get into university! I wouldn’t have done it without HKU SPACE CC, so thank you so much to all lecturers, program leaders, and staff who have helped me along the way!
Message to fellow students in HKU SPACE CC:
Getting into HKU isn’t an easy ft., I tried twice (year 1 and year 2), the second try was a success, but the long wait of the conditional offer made me terrified to the point where I paid the $5000 deposit to HKUST as a backup route. I’ve seen some of my friends got unlucky and didn’t receive any offers, so to all the current students of HKU SPACE CC, please keep faith and give your all in every course! Don’t slow down, because every grade counts, one slip-up could cost you a good university offer! Keep fighting!

I also got to know that there was a wide range of career opportunities after graduation, including event organizer, programmer, sports coach, and media production, etc., which allowed me to have better planning for my further career.
Lecturers of this programme were patient to help and always encouraged us to try new things. Not only were they professional in teaching, they were also willing to answer any question regarding our academic or career development. They provided me with valuable advice which enabled me to pursue my dream in eSports. I would like to express my gratitude to all lecturers who have taught me. Thank you very much!

I was so confused when I got my DSE results two years ago. Fortunately, I noticed that there was a Programme called Healthcare & Health Plan Administration at HKU SPACE CC. These two years of studies helped me understand the spectrum of issues in the medical system in HK. It showed me the different social institutions and broadened my understanding of healthcare systems around the world. It enriched my understanding of pathophysiology and the related studies, and provided me with the experiences of back-office work in the healthcare delivery system. These really helped me to fully realise my interest and to decide what I want to do in the future. Moreover, my classmates were positive and competitive. We worked together and fought together. I also really appreciated the teachers and HKU SPACE CC for giving me this opportunity to further study in the degree programme.

Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Computing and Data Science Theme Year 2)
Right after high school, I made a decision to take a couple of gap years instead of going directly into higher education. Soon after discovering my interest in Information Technology, I joined HKU SPACE CC, where I was given a chance to learn more about IT and prepared for my future in this ever growing industry. Choosing HDIT at HKU SPACE CC was one of the best choices that I have made because it allowed me to touch on a vast array of IT domains which exposed me to various fields in IT. Apart from the robust IT courses provided at HKU SPACE CC, another great aspect of the College was the lecturers. Throughout my studies here, not only did they help enhance and develop my IT skills, they were also mentors who were willing to assist me outside of my studies. With their help and guidance, I was able to articulate to university studies.

Simultaneously, the school offered substantial academic and non-academic supports to me which gave me the push I needed.

While playing the computer game, I understood how IT skills helped the gamers and the methodology that the gamers could gain access to the Internet. Also, I learned how to protect my computers from being hacked and could write a script to finish some tasks in the game.
Even though I didn’t have particular IT knowledge before joining the programme, our lecturers were enthusiastic about teaching us the basic theory. Besides, this programme was well-structured; I’ve learnt the fundamental of networking, python programming, scripting in the Linus operation system, and basic network security concept. I believe that the knowledge I’ve learnt in this programme could be helpful in my future career.

Before I joined this programme, I’d always been inspired to become a healthcare professional. It was not until I realised dental health plays an important and indispensable role in our well-being did I decide to apply for this programme.
In the grand scheme of things, this programme not only provided useful textbook knowledge about dental health, but also hands-on clinical sessions that took a holistic approach to treating patients.
The teachers of the programme were extremely kind, helpful and knowledgeable. They brought a lot of experience and skills to the table. I was pleased and grateful for their help and support. I was also glad that I met some friendly peers who were truly my staunch friends and allies during my study journey.
Now that I’m a qualified dental hygienist, my experience and skills have been honed to the next level. The skill set I acquired over the past few years allows my patients to get the most out of my dental service.

2020 Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies, HKU SPACE Community College
My time in HDARCH was an essential journey of self-exploration and becoming more mature as a designer. The school has helped to shape my passion for design research, giving me space to concentrate on themes I feel that matter to the World and my community. One of the wonders of architecture is that the field is always changing and constantly demands innovation. Our projects often demanded us rethink the World through an in-depth investigation of different scales, from urban to human ergonomics. The course will push and refine your creative thinking on every problem.
In Pre-Covid times, we also got to do projects in different parts of the World. One of my most significant experiences in designing and building a school in Cambodia during our summer holiday. Where we experienced a vigorous two-week design process from start to finish. I learned the attention to detail and how architecture is a group process. Another notable aspect of this course is the inclusion of a diverse age group of students in the later years. Incorporating different qualities and work experiences with designers is a valuable lesson to learn. Sometimes problems in the group and the project can seem overwhelming, and things become uncertain about constantly brainstorming. Part of being a designer is seeing how you continue to solve these problems. Looking for quick and strategic decision-making is vital in the field of architecture.
Each class offers its own perspective on your design process and a unique opportunity to refine your proposal. I learned a valuable lesson of integrating different practices into my design to make my project rich. Everything is a learning tool for innovation.
Finally, my experience in HDARCH has been strengthened by passion and discipline in my practice. I hope this course will offer the same key lessons to you as it did to me.

Flight Operations Officer, SATS HK LTD.
First of all, I developed a passion for the aviation industry at a young age. I believe that passion plays a very important role in one's career, and it has fueled my enduring interest in joining the industry. Right after completing secondary school, I knew I had to study at HKU SPACE CC, majoring in Aviation Studies, due to its expertise in this field. During my two years at HKU SPACE CC, I became familiar with the aviation field.
Although I had been to many site visits and joined programs as a delegate while in secondary school, I still had very little knowledge of the day-to-day jobs available inside airlines, apart from Cabin Crews, Pilots, and ATC. Courses like Aircraft Weight Balance and Dispatch, Air Traffic Management, Human Factors, Statistics, Risk Management, and Safety Awareness allowed me to become familiar with the jobs and options that I can have after graduation.
If you are interested in aviation and don't know what you want to be or are not familiar with your career path, this course is a good starting point for you. After finishing the course, I can assure you that you will have a clear pathway with the guidance of the teachers and internship opportunities.

Client Services Director - VistaJet
Have been in the aviation industry for almost 7 years, choosing to study in the HDAS programme was one of the most correct decisions I have ever made.
Back in the years, “Aviation” was not a common subject for study, but with the potential development in Hong Kong's aviation industry, HDAS became the very first choice on my list. The lecturer in this program are coming from the industry front line so their connections and knowledge could benefit not just your academic result, but also the career path in the future.
With overseas' studies experience, I worked as an officer in the flight operation field after I back to Hong Kong, and moved to a more customer service related side as I enjoyed facing to the customer / passengers. Don't think the airport check in staff will be your only option when doing the customer services related job. With the potential expending business aviation in Hong Kong, there is a lot of role which you could work and enjoy with!
Aviation keeps changing and keeps you improving!

Studying marketing at HKU SPACE CC has been an incredible experience for me, especially because of the new friends I made and the good teachers who guided me throughout the course. One of the things that made my learning experience memorable was the opportunity to work on group projects with my classmates. It was exciting to collaborate and learn from their perspectives.
I failed my DSE 2 years ago, and felt terrible and lost at that moment, but serendipitously I found that there's a marketing programme in HKU SPACE CC. Although I had never exposed to marketing or studied business before, I chose to study it because of curiosity and interest. Eventually, I found my goal in these 2 years, studying marketing taught me the importance of staying updated with the latest trends and technologies in the industry, and motivate me to continue learning and exploring new ideas even after completing the course. If you are confused and lost, HKU SPACE CC Marketing could be a good choice!

The Data Science (DS) programme was a highlight of my life experience. This programme not only deepened my knowledge in data mining and data visualization, but it also kept me up to date with the latest trends in the field, particularly in the hot topic of big data. One of the reasons I chose this programme was because of its affiliation with the engineering department. It offered courses such as “Machine Learning” and “Data Structures and Algorithms”, which gave me the confidence I needed to pursue further study at the university majoring engineering and science.
Overall, my experience at HKU SPACE CC was unforgettable and I am grateful for every aspect of it. Being a part of such a “Big Family” has been an incredible experience and I am proud to have been a student at such a prestigious institution.

2019-2021 Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene
Being one of the clinical patients for more than ten years in the Prince Philip Dental Hospital, I am very used to sitting in the dental chair. Yet, it’s a completely different experience sitting behind it as a dental hygienist. It was not as easy as it seems, with the responsibility of maintaining the periodontal health of patients, it’s essential to acquire relevant knowledge and apply it clinically. The most challenging condition was that some oral conditions of the patients were beyond or ahead of the theoretical syllabus, which means that I might need to study in advance under the supervision of tutors and instructors in order to manage the oral health of my current patients. I think this is one of the very important qualities to study dentistry or to be a dental hygienist, to be responsible to the patients by learning actively and continuously.
Bounded by the scope of dental hygienists, I always require prescription and help from the dentists to treat the patients comprehensively, so I am very pleased that the dental hygiene program provides me with the opportunity to learn dental knowledge from different aspects to understand how a hygienist could maximize his or her role to cooperate with the dental team and to optimize the dental health of patients.
Finally, I would like to give my greatest gratitude to all the teaching staff under the dental hygiene programme. Without their help, I could not meet the standard of a qualified registered dental hygienist.

Ultimately, I chose to pursue my studies in the BSc Food Safety and Nutrition programme at HK PolyU, where I was able to transfer certain courses taken in the HD NFM, such as Physiology and Biochemistry. The HD NFM programme provided a solid foundation in nutritional sciences and prepared me for the challenges of university education. Additionally, the skills learnt during the programme, such as conducting diet record interviews and anthropometric measurements, have proved useful in my current job centered around nutrition research.

However, due to personal reasons, I made the decision to relocate back to Hong Kong and start a new doctoral study at HK PolyU. As I approach the culmination of my research, I reflect on the significance of my time at HDHFM. Not only did it provide me with a solid educational grounding, but it also presented invaluable opportunities and scholarships for personal growth and the pursuit of ambitious goals.

2020-2022 Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene
Before studying the Dental Hygiene Programme, I was a dental surgery assistant. Although I have some basic dental knowledge from my previous work experience, it was an entirely different experience from a chairside assistant to be an operator. The programme comprehensively trained my ability to become a qualified dental hygienist.
The clinical training was way more comprehensive than just cleaning the teeth. Motivating patients to perform good oral hygiene daily is an essential routine. It also allowed me to have more opportunities to communicate with different types of patients, such as, patients with special needs/ mental health problems. Although it was challenging for me, it built up my patience in treating patients. And I really get satisfaction when I know patients who have improved their oral health status.
Other than attending classroom seminars/ lectures, the problem-based learning module requires critical thinking and analytical skills which also helps me to gain motivation in learning. It also gives me a deeper understanding of the content of knowledge that I can immediately apply to treat patients with different oral and medical conditions.
The tutor and instructors from the programme are knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. I am so grateful for all the support and guidance given by them. It has been an incredible learning journey and the skills I gained in this programme have made me become a better and a more confident professional in the workplace.

As a recent graduate of the Dental Hygiene Programme, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible journey I have experienced.

The programme provided an abundance of practical training opportunities, seamlessly integrating theory with hands-on experience. The comprehensive curriculum not only equipped me with the technical skills necessary to perform as a qualified dental hygienist but also emphasized the importance of patient education. I learned that my role extends beyond cleaning teeth; it involves motivating patients to maintain their oral health and prevent dental issues.
One of the most remarkable aspects of this programme was the dedication of our tutors. Their enthusiasm for teaching was evident in every lecture and practical session. They generously shared their knowledge and experiences, making complex concepts accessible and engaging. Additionally, guest speakers, including experienced dentists, enriched our learning by providing insights into real-world practices and patient care.
Completing this programme has been a transformative experience, enabling me to become a professional dental hygienist and share vital oral hygiene knowledge with the community.

2023 Higher Diploma in Architectural Studies, HKU SPACE Community College
The Higher Diploma at HKU SPACE CC provided me with a strong foundation in architectural studies, equipping me with essential knowledge and practical skills. What made the programme particularly rewarding was the teaching approach—tutors encouraged students to explore their own design styles while offering guidance to build a solid stepping stone for my future studies.
After graduating from the Higher Diploma, I articulated to the University of Plymouth top-up degree programme. I grew as an architectural designer by learning how to think critically and holistically. The programme, which followed Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) standards, focused on real-world challenges, and especially sustainability design. This gave me industry-standard skills and a clear understanding of professional workflows. Most importantly, it taught me how architecture must be both sustainable and socially responsible.
Both programmes were supported by dedicated teachers and programme teams who were consistently helpful and approachable. They provided valuable internship opportunities, career guidance, and additional support during exam periods, ensuring students had the resources needed to succeed. Their commitment to student development played a crucial role in helping me achieve my academic and professional goals.
Thanks to the strong foundation from HKU SPACE and the advanced training at Plymouth, I was able to gain admission to UC Berkeley’s Master of Architecture (MArch) programme - a testament to the quality of education and mentorship I received.

NMC就是圍繞着拍攝和攝影,一步步教會你從一個概念慢慢變成一條影片、一張照片或是一件藝術品。當中所獲得嘅成功感是無與倫比的,更加重要的是,NMC的課程內容不會被局限於書本上,大量的實踐機會將書本上的知識化作經驗,除了能裝備自己外,更可以令課堂不再沉悶。NMC源於拍攝,但不止拍攝。動畫設計、文案寫作等課程能夠最大程度地裝備我自己,為未來嘅挑戰作好準備。
尤記得在文憑試完結時,我感到前路一片茫茫,完全不知所措,然而在NMC中受到不同導師的鼓勵和悉心教導,當中最印象深刻的是 Photography導師 Felix sir 的「其實所有嘢都係角度問題,只要轉個角度成件事就會好睇好多。」這句話看似是在講述拍攝,卻隱藏着人生的大道理,換一個角度看,入讀NMC能夠豐富自己的閱曆和經驗,而並不是虛度兩年。我在這裏找到了自己的方向,更可以朝着自己的夢想進發。

In NMC, we learnt how digital tools can enhance creativity and allow us to express our innovative thoughts and ideas and to create something out of nothing. This journey has encouraged and offered me the opportunity to create new ideas and explore more of these technologies.
Overall, NMC has inspired me to experiment more with my own creativity and consider how I could use digital tools to effectively communicate with my thoughts.

New Media and Communication (NMC) offers education, opportunities and resources to students who are interested in pursuing in the field of media. I didn’t have any background in art or filming, but I was given the chance to gain knowledge and guidance from the professors. This course includes the fundamentals, advanced techniques and theories used on practical works, such as filming, photography, copywriting, animation and much more. The knowledge and experience learned from NMC aren’t just limited in their own fields, but rather become cross-disciplinary.
Aside from giving quality education and suitable learning environments, students are given opportunities to apply learned skills in actual work. My class was offered to assist in an Ocean Park event photoshoot and PUBG mobile game tournament photo and video shoot. Students were tasked with the responsibility of getting quality photos and footage to clients, while also building up connections with classmates and other students from different courses.
NMC is best for students who wish to pursue in the field of media. The education and resources provided by the course are more than worth it, so long you put effort into learning.

2022-24 中文專業傳意高級文憑
時日如飛,回想起當初選擇入讀中文專業傳意高級文憑時,內心十分忐忑不安。DSE的失利,面對新學校的緊張,他人質疑的眼光,都在兩年的時間中轉化成努力和汗水。課後一次次和老師的交談,和志向相同的同學一起奮鬥,都令這兩年博盡無悔的旅程變得多彩。而現在入了大學,發覺高級文憑課程學到的知識是多麼有用之後,又後悔當時沒有更加努力……只期望現在能和當初一樣不忘初心,繼續向前。最後,也給入讀了本課程的師弟師妹一些鼓勵:不要因為暫時的得失而膽怯。

I am a graduate of Higher Diploma in Geotechnical Engineering. The support from the faculty and staff has been instrumental in my academic and personal growth during the two-year-study at HKUSPACE Community College. Lecturers are full of passion and patience.
