HKU SPACE HD in Visual Communication has provided me with both design knowledge and technical skills. This course has given me an opportunity to develop my potential. I now understand what design is and how to use visual images to communicate with people. The teachers do not only teach us how to find a job, but also how to survive in the real world. In the creative process, we experience many challenges, but we learn from our mistakes and improve ourselves and become successful at last. Design is all about exploring possibilities, and I’m enjoying it.

  • Student of Higher Diploma in Interior Design in 2009-2010

With a dream of pursuing my career in the creative design field, I decided to enrol in HD in Interior Design at HKU SPACE Community College after graduation from Form 7. During the years in HKU SPACE Community College, I developed my conceptual thinking as well as technical skills of Interior Design, both of which are very important qualities for an interior designer. Participation in various challenging projects has helped build up my knowledge and confidence. This has further stimulated my creativity, critical thinking and also passion. However, the most important gain is that the lecturers here have made me realize that the role of an interior designer is not simply to improve the living conditions of human beings but also to change the world and to preserve our culture. I am now determined to make every effort to create good designs and contribute to human life.

This Programme has trained me to become a professional graphic designer. The teachers were perfect - they taught me how to explore creativity, develop ideas and concepts, communicate with people, and to understand market needs and management. And fortunately, I was given an opportunity to take up an internship at a reputable design house, further enriching my design knowledge in the real world.

This was one of the most important and splendid periods of my life - I learnt to think creatively, work professionally and surely, I have made good friends with my classmates and the helpful and dedicated lecturers. All these make this Programme valuable and unique.

  • Currently working as an assistant interior designer

Studying the Higher Diploma in Interior Design Programme in HKU SPACE Community College became the bridge to my career. After graduation, I have been working as an assistant designer in a famous interior design firm in Hong Kong.

At HKU SPACE Community College, I learned two important parts of interior design, namely concept development and practical problem solving. Both logical and creative ways of thinking are developed.

Besides, we also had a graduation show which was a wonderful medium to show our work to the public. My present boss interviewed me after he saw our work in the show. He said "HKU SPACE Community College provides us a good source for recruitment." I am glad I chose the right route to prepare for my profession.
