The Pre-Associate Degree Programme is a one-year programme offered by HKU SPACE Community College for Form 5 graduates to broaden your horizons and prepare you to excel academically. It is a well-established alternative to the traditional matriculation course.
Students can choose from many broad-based courses, covering a variety of domains such as Arts and Humanities, Culture and
Media, Social Sciences, Philosophy, as well as Science and Technology. Generic courses are also available to train students’ language, numerical and computer skills.
English is used as the main teaching language to prepare students for further studies in Hong Kong and overseas.
Unlike the traditional HKCEE curriculum, your overall learning outcomes will not be determined by a final examination. Rather, you will be evaluated continuously throughout the academic year. Our Pre-AD students have benefited from the continuous assessments and the reduction of examination pressure, and many have matured into confident and self-motivated learners who strive to actualize their goals
Upon successful completion of the Pre-Associate Degree programme, students will be eligible to progress to:
Our statistics show that a significant proportion of our Associate Degree students have been admitted by local and overseas universities after their first or second year of studies.

Note: Individual Associate Degree or Higher Diploma Programmes may have specific entrance requirements. Please consult the College for further details.
