HKU SPACE Community College offers multiple articulation pathways and career development
Does your DSE result really define your future? Nepal-born Dave, local student Paris, and Hong Kong archer Jacky are living proof that your DSE result is not the end of your life, and you can still carry on and get into university.
Even though Dave failed in his DSE exam, his dream of getting a degree led him to HKU SPACE Community College (CC). There he went on to attain an associate degree (AD) after earning a diploma in foundation studies. Paris, took another route, and chose an AD over a university offer to follow her passion. And Jacky, who bombed in the Chinese Language examination, joined CC and simply carried on. Today, all three have got into local universities and step by step are getting closer to fulfilling their dreams.
CC has been dedicated to supporting further studies and the career development of its students for 20 years. Over 1/3 of associate degree graduates/students are admitted to HKU, CUHK or HKUST, while around 2/3 are admitted to one of eight local public universities.
To cater to Hong Kong’s changing needs for new talent, CC is introducing four new Higher Diploma programmes, including Aviation and Piloting, Data Science, eSports and Geotechnical Engineering. Graduates are also eligible to apply for admission to top-up degree programmes, or apply their newly acquired knowledge in relevant career fields. As Dave said: “Don’t give up. There’s always a way forward even though your results were not what you hoped for!”

港大附屬學院撐你升學就業
一考真的定終身?文憑試經歷不如意的尼泊爾少年Dave、本地學生劉翠兒(Paris)和港隊射箭代表崔俊杰(Jacky),以行動證明了不同途徑也可升讀大學。
Dave文憑試成績未如理想,但夢想驅使他從港大CC基礎專上教育文憑升讀副學士課程,從不輕言放棄;Paris為興趣放棄八大學位,毅然選讀副學士;Jacky中文科「失手」後入讀 CC,為大學夢鋪路。他們現在都已獲八大錄取,繼續向夢想進發。
