REZA, MD. RAIYAN BIN2018-19

Year 2, Higher Diploma in Information Technology - Computing and Data Science

Offer received: BEng in Computer Engineering, HKUST

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.

Year 2, Higher Diploma in Information Technology - Computing and Data Science

Offer received: BEng in Computer Science, HKUST

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 have applied for. 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 at the foundation of Computer Science. The College allowed students to choose the stream that suited their personal interests and ultimately making it easier for further study in university.

If you are one of those who are also anxious about your future. Don’t be worried! 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!

Lin Matthew Higher Diploma in Information Technology (Computing and Data Science Theme Year 2)

Offer received: BEng in Computer Science, HKUST

After graduating from secondary school, I studied an associate degree program 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 program. 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 organized 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.
