Lau Lai Mei, Venus 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. View Details

Kwan Chun Hin, Kelvin 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. View Details

梁詠翹 2010-11 應用科學副學士（實用中醫）課程畢業生

修讀應用科學副學士（實用中醫）課程期間，我得到了很多啟發，亦改變了很多。它使我由一個對中醫毫無認識的中學生，變成了今天立志要成為一個好醫師的大學生。當中最大功勞的當然是對我循循善誘的講師。學院的講師不但熱心教學，更關心學生，為建立良好的學習氣氛付出了不少心血。我本身的性格比較內向，所以在就讀中學時，我從來沒有在上課時發問過一條問題。但是當我接觸這個課程後，我終於體驗到學習的樂趣。而課後向講師亦成為了兩年學習的最寶貴時光。課程亦使我們有機會到不同行業見習及到國內中醫大學校訪，使我們體驗將來的學習環境，增加了和專業人士溝通的機會。這兩年副學士的學習經驗幫助我們擴闊了不同領域的知識，亦為我們現在的學習打好基礎，使我們現在學習更順利，目標更清晰。 View Details

Fung Hiu Tung, Creamy 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. View Details

Lee Katherine Ka Yan S. 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. View Details

梁俊傑 2011-12 年度應用科學副學士（生命科學）一年級

還記得高考放榜那天，從老師手上接過成績表後，我只感到徬徨、迷茫、絕望。當時，我根本不清楚除了大學以外，香港還有甚麼升學途徑，我只留在家中問問親友的意見，及後上網搜尋「副學士」相關的學院和課程。又親身聽了各院校的講座和學生分享，最後選擇了港大附屬學院，我最有興趣的科目是應用科學副學士（生命科學）。至今，我無悔當初所作的抉擇。副學士的生活確實辛苦，因為你要有很強的意志力才能不斷堅持，繼續走下去。當時我在未開學的時候已熟習修讀課程的大綱，及計劃未來一年的方向目標。每天除了溫習，便是回家趕lab report或者project，又或要趕寫personal statement，準備大學面試。雖然辛苦，但當中亦有收穫。副學士的校園生活不再有「班主任」式的提醒，但慶幸我選擇了港大附屬學院，內裡有完善的升學輔導及自學中心，加上每位講師都滿腔熱誠，還有counselor的輔助，當遇到難題時，他們都願意助你，與你度難關，讓我感受到在學習以外的人間溫暖。事實上，港大附屬學院提供的Non-JUPAS升學資訊，是各專上學院中最齊全的，只要自己主動去接觸，這些資源都是屬於你的。港大附屬學院是一個很好的學習地方，讓我學懂管理時間及自我，實為升讀大學的不二之選。希望大家都能尋找一條屬於你的副學士之路！加油！ View Details

麥日怡 2011-12 年度應用科學副學士（生命科學）一年級

港大附屬學院關注學生的升學、就業及多元化發展。這裡有關升學和就業的資訊及輔導十分充足，幫助我們找到自己的目標。而且課程多元化，讓學生接觸不同範疇的知識，增廣見聞。雖然生命科學的課程較深，但勝在與大學的理學士課程水平相若，讓學生於入讀大學前打好基礎。而且這裡的每位講師都用心教學、準備充足，課後仍會細心解答同學問題，更會用心聆聽及解答我們對升學和就業的疑問。就是這樣，我才能輕鬆升上大學，更認識了一班好朋友及好講師。高考的成績未如理想，未必代表與大學無緣！ View Details

鄭子峰 2012-13年度應用科學副學士（生命科學）二年級

港大附屬學院擁有優良師資。講師教學認真，還主動關心學生。培養學生各方面的興趣，為升學或就業做好準備。理科的課程經過悉心編排，即使內容較深，但也為大學的學習打下穩固的根基。在二年級時，部份理科的科目，需要到香港大學與港大學生一起上課，這讓我們體驗到大學的上課模式，也能嘗試大學的生活。最難能可貴的是我們能夠使用香港大學的資源。我們可以到大學圖書館借閱參考書和閱讀不少學術論文，對學習真有莫大裨益。除了學習外，學院更悉心安排不少升學就業講座，即使學生成績各異，我們也能夠早日認清自己的路向。要成功考獲大學取錄，除了有優異成績，面試技巧也相當重要；學院提供不少有關大學面試的資訊，包括歷屆學兄學姊的面試心得和題目，這讓我們在面試時更能得心應手。在港大附屬學院讀書，讓你體會到「先苦後甜」的道理，雖然競爭大，但辛苦後得到的收獲總是叫人再三回味的！ View Details

劉子華 2012-13年度理學副學士一年級

在HKDSE放榜時，我見到自己的成績，徬徨之外，我也想不出有甚麼形容詞描述當時的心情，我知道自己升大學無望，又不知出路如何。聽友人介紹副學士，而且以理學學系來說，港大附屬學院最好，升學率亦高，既然無路可走，我只好硬著頭皮地報讀了。開始時自己跟不上學習進度，不少課程的難度比高中更難，幸好學院的講師抽空指導我，而且還很有耐性地解釋每個重點，自己再每日溫習，最後用了一年時間便升上自己理想的大學。雖然學院的課程比較難，但不無好處，除了補充在中學學不了的知識外，當升上大學後，會更容易跟上大學的課程。縱使有人說讀副學士是沒出路，但回頭望，我覺得港大附屬學院是我人生的里程碑，為我升讀大學前作最佳準備。 View Details

陳浩祥 2012-13年度理學副學士一年級

猶記得公開試成績及JUPAS 放榜都不理想，而自己想修讀與理學有關的科目，於是選擇了港大附屬學院的理學副學士課程。學院有很多優秀的講師，他們對同學的學習十分著緊，上課時會因應同學的進度而改變教學節奏，亦會主動向同學詢問是否明白課堂上所授知識，令我上課時能緊貼課程的教學進度。修讀副學士期間所學到的知識及學習態度，令我現在升讀大學後得到更大的優勢，我十分感謝學院的講師。 View Details

劉樂善 2012-13年度應用科學副學士（實用中醫）畢業生

開始大學生活之後，我體會到修讀這課程帶給我的好處。面對新課程，我有更多的時間去理解、吸收；而溫習舊有課程的時候，則使我已有的知識掌握得更加牢固。為期兩年的實用中醫課程，既幫助我打好了中醫藥的知識基礎，同時確立了將來成為中醫師的道路。 View Details

Lai Tsz Kiu, Lexie 2011-13 Graduate of Higher Diploma in Dental Hygiene

‘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. View Details

Lam Man Kit 2013-14年度理學副學士二年級

在最後一屆高考放榜時，由於成績未達入大學的基本要求，感覺很失望。那時，不少中學同學和老師都稱讚港大附屬學院的課程設計，自己又喜歡科學，所以就決定入讀理學副學士。初入學時，不少的課程都較中學的程度深，需要付出大量時間溫習和練習，幸好我認識了一班好朋友一起努力。學院有很多優秀的講師，每當我遇到困難，他們都樂於幫助及耐心教導，令我的成績飛躍進步。學院為我提供了一個學習的機會，增長知識，培養興趣，豐富我的人生。多謝港大附屬學院和各位講師。 View Details

Wu Ming Ming 2013-14 Associate of Science, Year 1

雖然聯招結果不理想，可是我從來沒有放棄進大學的夢想。因為HKU SPACE CC升讀資助大學學士學位機會比較高，所以公開試放榜後就立即報名。讀了一年的建築學高級文憑，發現自己對這科目興趣不大，就轉讀了理學副學士，並決心一年後升讀大學。在這兩年，我學會很多，而且變得更加堅強，即使遇到挫折也不輕易言敗，認清自己的目標及方向後，便更努力前進。衷心感謝HKU SPACE CC所有講師，以及曾經幫助我實現夢想的朋友。 View Details

Li Chung Hei 2013-14 Associate of Science, Year 1

失望和迷茫最適合形容我放榜時的心情，我選擇了港大附屬學院，因為中學老師都說港大附屬學院師資優良，升學率高，特別是升讀我夢想的學系－香港大學理學系。港大附屬學院細心的課程編排，講師的悉心教導，都令我對理學產生濃厚興趣。多問、多假設、多練習，是我在學院領略到的心法。同時，學院豐富了我的人際關係，好些同學成了摯友，講師也成了我的人生導師。我由衷的感謝港大附屬學院，一個令我成長、實現夢想的地方。 View Details

Lo Wing Yan, Winnie 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. View Details

黃雪瑩 2014-15年度中醫學副學士畢業生

Ng Hiu Kam, Catherine 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. View Details

Ng Wai Ting, Wendy 2014-15 Associate of Science (Chemistry) (Year 2)

With an unsatisfactory result in HKDSE, my university dream was seemly distant. Instead of being desperate, under the recommendation of my seniors, I chose HKU SPACE CC to achieve my dream again. Two-year college life flies, and what I acquired is not simply the bachelor’s degree offers from prestigious local universities, more importantly, the enlightenment and encouragement from my lecturers and companions; that enabled me to be a better person. Be conscientious, responsible and empathetic in the college, and you can eventually reach your goals for sure. View Details

Lee Ka Yau 2014-15年度理學副學士一年級

當年文憑試放榜那種晴天霹靂的感覺，真是一生難忘。以我的成績，升上大學的機會只有一半。於是，我上網搜尋提供副學士課程的院校。起初我並無注意到港大附屬學院，但當向師長、友人查詢時，他們不約而同地推介這學院。於是我便報讀了港大附屬學院。剛開始時，我對學院各方面都相當陌生。幸好，學院有完善的配套去支援學生，講師都關心我們。雖然對部分同學來說，學院的課程或會較艱深，但只要我們主動尋求協助，講師都會樂意為同學解決疑難，助同學跟上進度，打好基礎。除此之外，學院理科的課程經過悉心編排，配合實驗課，讓我們掌握相關的技巧。入讀學院之後我再次反思自己的興趣，認清人生目標，很快適應大學的上課模式及校園生活，可謂獲益良多。其實，以前我不敢奢望能夠升上香港大學。所以，在港大附屬學院讀書，只要肯下定決心，奮發向上，絕對會有意想不到的結果！ View Details

Wong Wai Ching 2014-15 Associate of Science (Year 1)

I am very glad that I could get into the university in the first year. At first, I felt desperate when I failed to get into a degree programme with my HKDSE result. Besides my hard work, HKU SPACE CC helped me a lot to reach my success; for example, programmes offered by CC are similar to those in universities, which familiarises us with university-life and helps in answering the professors in interviews. Of course, working hard is the most important factor to have a better chance to further your study. Thus, you should thoughtfully consider when selecting which programme to study. Ability always overrides your interest. Anyway, please do not give up even if you don’t perform well in HKDSE. There are many other channels that can lead you to a fruitful future. It is worth grabbing this chance, isn’t it? View Details

Lau Ka Yuet, Rachel 2014-15 Associate of Health Science (Biomedical Sciences) (Year 2)

HKU SPACE CC provides a wide variety of programmes suitable for most students with varied interests and preferences. Having chosen the Biomedical Sciences programme, I was exposed to more advanced medical knowledge, human biology and technological skills in science that I had never been taught in my secondary school. Studying the field that I like made learning enjoyable, even though there were hard times in chasing the deadlines of projects, assignments and presentations. It was initially quite challenging to adapt to dramatic changes in the learning style and the level of study at the Community College. However, with the readily available facilities and kind help from the lecturers, learning effectively is no longer mission impossible. Not only did I acquire knowledge from HKU SPACE CC, but also an indomitable character to deal with hardships in life. View Details

Wong Yu Ming, William 2014-15 Associate of Health Science (Biomedical Sciences) (Year 2)

The Associate of Health Science (Biomedical Sciences) programme provided me with a wide range of exposure to health and medical sciences, which laid down a solid foundation for my university studies. Learning environment at HKU SPACE CC was inspiring and encouraging. With my supportive and helpful classmates, I was able to enjoy my studies and complete my group projects. Although the learning life was challenging, it was very fruitful and rewarding. I am so grateful for the help from the College, especially from the biomedical sciences programme, and I am sure future students will feel the same way. View Details

Fung Chun Wing 2014-15 Associate of Health Science (Biomedical Sciences) (Year 2)

Being one of the students that came from a secondary school using Chinese as a medium of instruction, I faced some learning difficulties initially because my English standard was relatively lower than others. However, the problem became my motivation for improving my English; for example, I tried hard to look up the meaning of all English terms before my lessons. When I still did not understand those scientific jargons, I could ask the lecturers for help. I believe that genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. Finally, my hard work paid off and I got eight offers from six UGC-funded local universities. Everyone may have his or her own weaknesses, but success is waiting for those who can persist in their studies. I hope my story will give you some inspiration and all of you can enter your desired university in the future. View Details

Ceci Chan 2015年健康科學副學士（護理學）畢業生

Two years studied in HKU SPACE CC, from the start of college’s life to the acquisition of bachelor’s degree offer, what I took away is not only an offer in HKU or knowledge, but also the knowledge and attitude in being a nursing student and the relationship between my classmates, lecturers and tutors which help me to being a better me. Nursing study in CC is never an easy job, assessment, skill test, practicum, a large amount of information and knowledge need to remember. However, even the high workload or stress to us, it never diminish my enthusiasm in being a nurse and continue my study. It may due to the support and encourage giving by our lecturers. They taught us with their knowledge and experience patiently even we were doing wrongly, practiced the skills and went to the practicum with us. Before I had received the offer, I always felt scared and worried about my future. In that time, I always felt sad but my lecturers had given many support to me and tell me be confidence and never give up. They were finding a lot of methods to help us continue our studies in the university. Apart from the lecturers, in CC I found many comrades and friends that we are sustaining each other. We are fighting together towards the same target even now we study in HKU, the relationship between us is never a false appearance. We are relying on each other regardless happy or sad. Finally, we are studying HKU nursing degree together to continue our study. In CC, it is not just obtained an offer and then finished. We received the knowledge and skills from the class lecture and lab session. We learned what is empathy and other attitude of nurse through the practicum and lecturers. Our lecturers and tutors just like our friends that give us many support and advice. The friendship that I had in here is never end till now. What we gained in CC have enriched my life, and make me having more confidence in facing the new life in HKU and every trouble in the future to being a better me. Nothing is impossible, like getting an offer in the university, but it really needs to work hard. View Details

Rachel Chan 2014年健康科學副學士（護理學）畢業生

2 years in AHS programme was not a cakewalk for me, but it was worth it. All the courses, practicum were very intense as it provided various opportunities to equip students to step in nursing field. Nursing is not only about practicing skills, but also requiring your evidence based, professional knowledge. Apart from the theories and human physiology, practicum in different health care settings was also provided to every student. This valuable experience inspired and motivated us to be more proactive in learning and caring. Challenges, difficulties and frustrations are unavoidable, but it is blessed to have many supportive companions and lecturers along these 2 years. The new journey in HKU has started, I am still grateful to have this precious memory in AHS. View Details

Tsui Wai Sum 2013-2015 Associate of Science

當初報讀HKU SPACE CC的理學副學士是因為希望自己繼續修讀科學，但又擔心自己文憑試的表現失準，加上HKU SPACE CC的課程是香港大學編制，有一定認受性。在過往一年，我除了學習到科目的知識，更加透過大小的Project學習到與人相處技巧。另外，在密集式的學習裡，我明白到自律的重要性，包括時間管理和在學術上自我要求。我相信這些都是畢生受用的技能。 View Details

D M Thrimendra Kaushika Dissanayake 2013-14 Associate of Science, Year 2 (Biological Science Theme)

Despite my HKALE grades not being what I hoped it would be, I continued to study what I was interested at HKU SPACE CC, and I was not disappointed. To be honest, I had no great reasons to study at HKU SPACE CC. All I knew was that it will enable me to continue my studies. However, now I can say that studying at HKU SPACE CC has been a great experience. Not only I was able to continue my studies but also I was able to get to know individuals from different backgrounds during my studies. Most importantly, by studying at HKU SPACE CC, I was able to get into a local university. View Details

Yip Cheuk Lun, Stephen 2015-16 Associate of Science (Year 1)

When I received my public examination result last year, I was upset and I didn't know what to do. Finally, my friends suggested me to study in HKU SPACE CC. After studied a year in CC, I got a lot of changes. Tertiary education is totally different from secondary education. After a whole day of lessons, I would go to the library to do revision on what I had learnt. If there was anything I wasn't sure about, I would check and read reference books. In this year, I started to enjoy learning rather than just learning for the public examinations. Admittedly, life in CC is extremely tough; we had to do a lot of assignments and even attend examination on a Sunday, but I still enjoyed it because there are nice lecturers who will help you if you seek help. What I want to say is nothing is impossible as long as you have a dream. View Details

Chow Ka Wai 2015-16 Associate of Science (Year 1)

After the release of the HKDSE results, I entered HKU SPACE CC with sorrow and despair. But I felt grateful as well because I was given a second bite at the cherry to get into university. Personally speaking, hard work is of the utmost importance to attain fruitful grades. In order to be considered by universities, it is crucial to have high GPA, especially in Semester 1. Although the programme is not easy to handle, it is still manageable if you invest time and effort. So try your level best and see you in the university next year. View Details

Hung Man Chun, Key 2015-2016 Associate of Science, Year 2 (Chemistry Theme)

在2014 年DSE 放榜時，當我收了滿科紅的成績單後，已知不能透過JUPAS 的方法進入學位課程，於是我選擇了進入「太空」,希望能以這兩年的成績降落「地球」，進入學士課程。在HKU SPACE CC的兩年生活中，很感謝這兩年內遇到的人同事，尤其是HKU SPACE CC 這裏的講師，他們在你碰到難關時，不管是學業上或是其他問題，他們都能專業地助你解決問題。在這裏的兩年生活，還認識了一群「戰友」，我們「並肩作戰」，面對不同報告的死綫，到最後，我們都能進入不同的大學繼續我們的學業。在這裏勸勉各位，不要因為DSE成績的挫折而覺得進入「太空」開展asso 生活是你的恥辱，在這裏生活並努力學習，定必能得到你想得到的東西。 View Details

Hon Wing Han, Hannah 2014-15 Associate of Science Year 1

Work hard is the basic element while work smart is more important. Don't let the same stone stumble you twice. We have to know why we failed in DSE/any exam taken, and try a new study method with the change in study mode in HKU SPACE CC. What's more, be open to any subjects you have to study and try to enjoy it. Do what you love, love what you do. Once you choose this way (studying in HKUSPACE CC), do your best and make no regrets! View Details

Chan Oi Ling 2015-16 Associate of Science (Earth and Environmental Sciences) (Year 2)

Studying at CC was a tough but rewarding experience. I had to adopt to the change of using English as the medium of instruction and also took many courses which were not directly related to Science. However, after studying these subjects, my interest to other academic fields were developed, including Philosophy, Psychology and Visual Art. It is a surprising result! I found my dream in Year 2 - Earth Science. This realisation had triggered my thirsty of knowledge about our Earth. I didn’t mind spending extra time outside class time to research and read books as well as asking lecturers questions, as I believe there is no shortcut to success, except hard work. CC is memorable for me because there are lots of passionate and helpful lecturers and I am thankful to them. All I can do is to keep learning and work hard to reward them for their teaching and time.

Chan Ka Ho, William 2015-16 Associate of Science, Year 2 (Chemistry Theme)

Working hard is the most important key studying in HKU SPACE CC. In here, everyone wants to get into the university, I studied very hard, read reference books, asked teachers for help and luckily, I have a lot of friends who are willing to teach me to get good results in exams. Besides, the relationship between students and lecturers is good not only in academic but also for some daily activities. Lecturers are willing to listen what difficulties you faced and help you to success, so studying HKU SPACE CC is the best choice to learn and get into the university. View Details

Cheng Tsz Fung, Koster 2015-16 Associate of Science (Physics) (Year 2)

一切全因緣份的指引，入讀HKU SPACE CC實乃無意之選。所幸在此我學會了和人的相處之道，亦結交了不少戰友，一嘗中學未能如願的心願。中學時期的勤學苦練在DSE時無法展現出來，最終在此處嚐足甜頭，使我可不需花太多時間在主科上，而把時間花在其他科目中學習更多元化的知識。各師弟師妹或有疑惑，中文中學的學生會不會受授課語言影響？其實會的，但在Year 2升上大學的中文中學學生也不在少數。切記勤能補拙。至於學習，只要抱有好奇好學之心，用心鑽研，必能有所成就。其次壓力一定會有的，只要緊記順其自然，不驕不躁，對學習和人際關係的發展才會有益無害。 View Details

Tai Suet Ying 2015-16 Associate of Science, Yr 2 (Biological Science Theme)

In the DSE, my result was not satisfactory, so no offers were given in the JUPAS. I decided to choose HKU SPACE CC to further study because the chance of getting into the HKU is higher. Also, the science subjects are quite outstanding among all the community colleges. At first, I found it a bit stressed and hard since people around me were quite diligent and ambitious, and the syllabus was in a completely advanced level. Much time was put to catch up and adapt the new environment than expected. However, all would be overcome after the first 2 months, and everything would be on the right track. View Details

Ng Chun Lok 2015-16 Associate of Science (Chemistry) (Year 2)

HKU SPACE CC has a great reputation. It ranks one of the top institutions in Hong Kong and has a high university enrolment rate. We can find friends with the same goal and work hard to achieve it. We work together and help one another in studies. It definitely provides us a good learning atmosphere. Lecturers are all nice and are always willing to give us a helping hand when we find them. But the premise is that you need to be active. It is an essential element in learning, no matter in CC or in university. Don't hesitate to find lecturers and they will surely help you. The CC is another path for you to success. It is just a matter of time you will graduate from a university. View Details

Lee Kwan Nam, Christopher 2015-16 Associate of Science (Chemistry) (Year 2)

The study atmosphere in CC is great; lecturers are kind and are enthusiastic about teaching. I still remember when after a Chemistry class, the lecturer still stood outside the classroom answering our questions for a long time. I also met many friends in CC as I joined many activities held by CCSU and became a coordinator in Film Society. The study life in CC was diverse. I transferred from Associate of Business Administration to Associate of Science. Although the road was a little tougher than others’, but I don't regret choosing HKU SPACE CC as a place for me to study and fight for my dream, which was to get a university offer. View Details

Doong Hoi Lam 2014-15 Associate of Science Year 1

我在HKU SPACE CC一年比在中學六年所學到的還要多。我每天都留校溫習至十時才離開，沒有多餘的功課，下課後全是靠自己看參考書、wiki。測驗考試範圍廣泛，但難度比公開試低，讓我自由地根據自己興趣而溫習。讓我獲益最多的一科是學習與人溝通，做group project遇上不同程度的組員，因而結識了許多不同背景朋友，最後還得到港大錄取，遠超乎我入學時的期望。 View Details

Cheng Yee Shan Sarah 2014-15 Associate of Science, Year 2 (Biological Science Theme)

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

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

They don’t simply provide us with knowledge, they also care about our future pathway and learning progress. In ASc programme, we were exposed to extensive hands-on practical experiences which strengthened our knowledge. Apart from the specialism courses, the generic courses have shaped myself into an all-rounded person. More importantly, acquiring knowledge in CC is not only about memorizing answers but understanding the important concepts. CC is a place for you to search for your goals and future pathway, which all of you can achieve what you want by your own way. View Details

Tam Ming Yin, Sirius 2017-18 Associate of Science (Physics) (Year 2)

Studying in HKU SPACE CC was not as easy as in the high school. The subjects and contents were very different. I was glad that I was not alone.

Jason Lee Chung Yin 2018-19 Associate of Health Science (Biomedical Sciences) (Year 2)

Studying at HKU SPACE Community College (CC) did change me a lot. I was lost after the DSE results were released, but my destiny has been changed since then. I no longer considered the DSE experience a failure once I stepped into CC, because I had ANOTHER CHANCE. It was not necessary to be on the same path as your classmates. Life would be a lot easier if you have made the right choice after DSE. In fact, studying at CC was more relaxing than at the university - with like-minded friends, trust-worthy teachers and modern facilities around. There are not many differences between CC and a university in terms of learning experiences. Just treat this place as a new start after your secondary education and move on to your next destination!

This facilitates a deeper discussion of topics and unique perspectives on problems and concepts. Be brave, gentle and sincere in CC, and you will reach your goals eventually. View Details

SO CHUN YAN, Soso 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. View Details

Chan Pei Chi, Bigi 2018-20 Associate of Nursing Studies

The ANS programme has been a stepping stone for me to achieve higher and get closer to my destination - to be a university student. The experience at HKU SPACE CC was fruitful and rewarding. The programme comprises me different courses such as Nursing Foundation, Health Promotion, and Languages, which equipped me with nursing knowledge and skills. Besides, my communication and problem-solving skills were also enhanced through working on projects with my fellow classmates. Facing various kinds of challenges was unavoidable during the two years’ study. However, the lecturers were extremely caring and helpful. They gave me a helping hand such as offering mental support and professional suggestions when I was under stress and had obstacles in my studies. I was blessed to have completed my practicum during this hard time (Covid-19). It was a unique and golden learning opportunity for me to shadow the nurses in an Elderly Home when the epidemic was alleviated. It provided me a chance to put the theories that I learned in lessons into practice like nursing assessments, vital signs measurements, and insulin injections. I also learned more about the management and measures that were adopted during this period so as to prevent the outbreak of Covid-19 in the healthcare setting. To conclude, HKU SPACE CC has nurtured me to become a well-rounded person, and has equipped me with the knowledge, skills, and strength to become a competent healthcare professional in the future - one who will help the patients to achieve their optimal health.

Leung Kwok Yee 2020-21年度中醫學副學士畢業生

Chan Sum Yee Kristie 2020-21年度中醫學副學士畢業生

在HKU SPACE CC讀書對我來說，是一個轉捩點，故我十分珍惜這個機會。但當我愈緊張想爭取好成績時，考試狀態反而愈差，故及後學懂調整自己心態，才能有健康的身心靈應付挑戰。作個比喻，你愈抓緊手中的一把沙，沙子愈快從你手上流走；相反，你懂得放輕手，沙子才不會猛的流走。學懂這個道理有利你們日後走更遠的萬里路。還有，到你們畢業時，或許會覺得自己還有很多不足，如你能有這個覺悟，我反倒要恭喜你，因為你有好學不倦的精神，這是要成為醫者其中一個重要的態度。另外，在HKU SPACE CC讀書學到多少，就靠自己的主動性有多高。當遇到不明白時不用擔心，虛心問老師就好了，他們會非常耐心地為你們解說。問得愈多，意外收獲愈多。在此，我也想多謝老師們的教導和鼓勵。最後，以過來人的身份作分享，想跟各位同學說，在讀書的路上，孤單和不如意的感覺十常八九，不妨大力擁抱這些感覺，「苦」中作樂一下吧！願各位在開往未來大學之航道上，一帆風順。 View Details

Hon Sing Yu Felix 2019-2021 Associate of Biomedical Sciences

時光荏苒，兩年的旅程不經意間到了尾聲。回想過去，經歷了多次人生的挫敗，一度很想放棄大學夢，但HKU SPACE CC 這個親切的校園讓我看到了轉機。起初家人反對，認為修讀副學士課程不切實際，坊間不太認可。但事實上，其評核模式與大學類近，課程內容亦能充分銜接大學課程，為學生打下良好的基礎。而且，學院致力為我們營造有利和積極的學習環境和氣氛，例如新設的自修室，我很喜歡到那裏溫習和討論習作。更重要的是，老師悉心的教導和栽培，讓我沒齒難忘。他們不惜犧牲自己的休息時間解答學生的問題，在空餘時間，更會和學生打成一片，閑話家常，亦師亦友。最後想借此機會感謝媽媽、HKU SPACE CC和我們的programme coordinator Dr Ng Sai Ming。給師弟妹的話: 每一次的挫敗都是讓自己成長和變得更加堅強的好機會。所謂「山窮水盡疑無路，柳暗花明又一村」，當我跌至谷底、前面看似無路時，HKU SPACE CC 給予了我出路。當你走出深淵、重見天日之時，你會由衷感激那些磨難讓你更有底氣面對前面的挑戰，一切的付出都是值得的。 View Details

I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and joy when I finally graduated with a qualification of High Diploma in Dental Hygiene. 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. View Details

Pauline Wong Po Ling 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. View Details

Graduate H. S Higher Diploma in Nutrition and Food Management

I am now working as a community dietitian. After finishing my Higher Diploma in Food and Nutrition Management, I had the opportunity to further my studies at the University of Newcastle in Australia, where I enrolled in their Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics programme and became a registered dietitian. One great advantage of the HD programme was its transition into university-level studies. The solid foundation in nutrition provided by the programme made it much easier for me to catch up with university courses. Another fantastic aspect of the HD programme was the support and guidance provided by our dedicated lecturers. Not only were they highly knowledgeable in the academic aspects of nutrition, but they also offered valuable advice regarding career paths and development opportunities.

Graduate E.H Higher Diploma in Nutrition and Food Management

Currently, I hold the position of a full-time research assistant while also pursuing a part-time Master's in Philosophy (MPhil) degree at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HK Poly U). As an applicant who was not under the Joint University Programmes Admissions System (non-JUPAS), I received valuable support and information from my teachers during my time studying the HD Nutrition and Food Management programme, which helped me secure offers from local UGC universities, namely, CUHK and HK PolyU. 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.

Graduate D. L Higher Diploma in Nutrition and Food Management

As a fourth-year PhD student at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, I am pursuing my studies in the field of medical laboratory science within the Department of Health Technology and Informatics. My academic journey began upon my graduation from HDNFM in 2016. Building upon this foundation, I pursued a top-up bachelor’s degree in human nutrition at Ulster University in Northern Ireland. Following this, I won a vice-chancellor's scholarship to pursue a PhD at Ulster University. 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. Joining the HDHFM program has proven to be a pivotal turning point in my academic journey, and I have no regrets about my decision to be a part of it. View Details

Mandy Kong Man 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. View Details

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

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.
