UK Education: Is Archaeology Becoming a New Favourite?

Archaeology: More than Just the Study of Artefacts When discussing archaeology, people often associate it with terms like "artefact conservation" and "history." However, Vincent, an education consultant, discovered differences in elective courses offered in the second and third years of archaeology programmes at various UK universities. He identified four main categories: Historical Focus: This is the most typical archaeology programme that combines history and social sciences with some scientific methods to understand the development of humanities, society, and economy in ancient Greece, ancient Rome, China, the Mediterranean, the UK, and other regions. "The historical periods studied mainly range from ancient history and mediaeval history to the 19th century. Represented by prestigious universities such as Nottingham and Liverpool." Social Sciences: Archaeology programmes in this category are a blend of archaeology, ancient history, sociology, economics, anthropology, philosophy, and museum studies. "It suits students who want to understand history and archaeology from multiple perspectives. Newcastle University is a representative in this category." Biological Approach: This category involves more scientific elements, particularly biology and palaeontology. "These archaeological programmes focus on scientific approaches such as DNA analysis and the biological genetics of decomposed […]

[#LINKEDUpresents: UK University Application and Subject Selection Strategies]

LINKEDUx University ApplicationUK universities are renowned for their academic research quality and have always been popular among students considering studying abroad. When applying to UK universities, parents and students are generally familiar with the application process and required documents of the UK Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), and they can gather information about different UK universities from the online world. However, in the past five years, UK university applications have shown a trend towards specialisation, and the competition for certain specialised subjects has not decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Interestingly, while some popular subject applications have become highly competitive, the admission requirements for some subjects have relatively decreased compared to previous years, allowing some students to enter highly ranked UK universities by applying to these subjects. Although UK university applications have become more challenging, the entire application process is based on the key principle of "subject selection before choosing the institution." We generally advise students to think about what subjects they want to study before starting the UCAS application. Placing "subject" before "institution" is because when students are deciding which institution to apply to, we recommend […]

Is the UK considering restricting study abroad applications?

At the end of 2022, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressed consideration for restricting international students from studying "low-quality degrees" in the UK and avoiding their behaviour of bringing family members to settle in the UK. The UK government is reportedly aiming to reduce the number of foreign student visas and immigration numbers by raising the threshold for studying abroad. This statement has attracted close attention from many students and parents who are applying to study in the UK, as they are concerned that the UK government may tighten and restrict international students' access to education in the UK. Vincent Tang, the Business Development Manager of LINKEDU, a professional overseas education consultant, analysed that international students play a crucial role in maintaining the world-class research level and international academic exchange of UK higher education institutions. This is also one of the reasons why UK education is favoured. "From an economic perspective, international students also support the development of UK higher education institutions and the funding for their research. According to data from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), international students accounted for about 20% of the total student population […]

[Alternative Option for UK Education: 1-Year GCSE Course]

Currently, the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) in the UK is generally a two-year programme. Students begin studying 8 to 10 GCSE subjects in Year 10, exposing them to various areas of knowledge and helping them gain a clear understanding of their interests and aspirations before A-Levels. In addition to the traditional academic path, more and more students have been applying for entry in Year 11, which is known as the "1-Year GCSE Course" (One-Year GCSE), offering another option for further education. Students and parents may have questions about the "1-Year GCSE Course." How can students complete the two-year GCSE curriculum, which typically requires studying 8 to 10 subjects, within a short 9-month course? The basic requirement for completing the entire "1-Year GCSE Course" is usually six core subjects, including Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and one additional subject in the humanities or languages. "Schools also provide additional English and academic support specifically for these students to ensure they reach the required levels within a short period of time." Considerations for Enrolling in the "1-Year GCSE Course" Parents may have another question: which students are suitable for […]

[Sports Science in the UK: Discovering the Scientific Side of Sports!]

In the world of sports, the success of an athlete depends not only on their personal effort but also on the dedication of the team behind them. How can research be used to develop training programmes that enhance athletes' physical abilities? This is where the field of Sports Science comes in. By understanding the structure of human physical activity and psychological capabilities, Sports Science aims to find methods to improve athletes' performance. Apart from academic research, it is equally important for students to apply what they have learned. Imagine studying Sports Science at a university that has its own state-of-the-art sports facilities and experience training Olympic athletes. Wouldn't that make the study of Sports Science more practical? Brunel University London in the UK boasts international-standard sports facilities, including an indoor athletics track, a standard 400-metre outdoor track, and a large sports hall. Even Usain Bolt, the world record holder for the 100-metre sprint, trained at Brunel University. This demonstrates the university's exceptional strength in the field of Sports Science. In addition to the conventional subjects in Sports, Exercise, and Health Science, Brunel University offers specialised courses in Coaching […]

[UK Health Sciences] Strategies for Enrolling in Health Sciences

Health Sciences has always been a popular subject among Hong Kong students, especially after the pandemic, when the general public started to prioritise health more. This has led to an increasing number of students considering studying health-related subjects and pursuing careers in relevant industries. Vincent Tang, the Business Development Manager of Linkedu, a professional overseas education consultant, states that in recent years, he has encountered many students interested in studying subjects such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and radiation therapy during his consultations for the UK Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). To secure a spot in their desired programmes in a competitive landscape, Vincent believes that students should first clarify their direction, strive to submit their applications, and prepare a comprehensive budget plan within a short period of time. Health Sciences is a people-centred field that emphasises life and people's well-being. Most programmes include hospital internships that expose students to real work environments and frontline patients. Vincent indicates that he often seeks to understand students' motivations for studying this subject since some students and parents view it as a stable, long-term "iron rice bowl" career. He has even […]

[Economics in the UK]: Post-Pandemic Economics: Is it really that simple to just talk about money and numbers?

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 has posed challenges to economies of different countries and even the entire world over the past two years. Especially when it comes to the most urgent task of post-pandemic economic reconstruction and recovery. Regardless of the situation, whether in prosperous times or during a pandemic, maintaining a well-ordered global economy is a top priority for all countries, much like the need to breathe and drink water daily to sustain life. This is where studying economics comes into play: from researching economic theories to studying individual economics, institutional decision-making, public administration, and even the global operational aspects, all of these are closely related to addressing the issues of post-pandemic economic reconstruction. Popular subject in UK universities: Economics In the face of challenges in the new era, is studying economics merely delving into traditional theories? As one of the top 20 economics departments in the UK, the University of Essex has produced three "down-to-earth" Nobel laureates in economics over the past decade. Therefore, the economics program at Essex is undoubtedly keeping up with the times. It incorporates research topics related to the 2019 coronavirus, such […]

[Where to Find the Genuine University of London Articulation Programmes?]

When it comes to London, people naturally associate it with terms "the capital of the UK" and "the city of fog." For students seeking higher education, London is also the number one global study destination in their minds! According to the survey results of QS Best Student Cities 2022, considering factors such as university rankings in the respective regions, international student population and ratio, safety, and livability, London, UK, once again topped the list and became the most popular study city among international students worldwide. As the capital of one of the major global economies and home to many influential museums where classical and modern cultures blend together, along with several world-renowned higher education institutions, London has become a globally recognised hub of academia.

[Computer Science in the UK]: Choosing Computer Science strategically

Entering the digital age, the development potential of computers and information technology is limitless. Combined with the recent efforts of various countries to promote innovation and technology, it naturally attracts many young people to enter related fields. Vincent Tang, Business Development Manager at LINKEDU, a professional overseas education consulting firm, said that in recent years, many international students have chosen to study computer science in the UK. The UK places great emphasis on technological development, especially in emerging fields of computer science. "The latest release of the £50 polymer banknote features the portrait of Alan Turing, known as the 'father of computer science and artificial intelligence.' This shows that the British value technological development, application, and progressiveness." Popular subjects in UK universities: Computer Science Based on Vincent's observations of the past three years' data from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) in the UK, computer science is one of the most popular subjects among international students. Its competitiveness is second only to subjects like medicine and health sciences, and it can be compared to popular subjects such as law. "Interestingly, international students have a deep understanding of […]

[Computer Science in the UK]: Are Robots Truly "Intelligent" and "Smart"?

Computers are definitely not a novelty in today's digital society, especially with the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has increased the use of computers and the internet for everyday work, consumption, and entertainment. With the continuous development of technology, universities in the UK, as pioneers in popularising computer technology and knowledge, have incorporated various emerging fields into their traditional computer science curricula. In addition to common areas such as computer game programming, artificial intelligence, and network security, there is a growing topic that has sparked discussions: Robotics. A TV drama series featuring intelligent robots recently ignited a wave of discussions on robots, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Nowadays, intelligent machines are used in various daily operations, such as large shopping malls, hotel cleaning, room service, as well as high-risk tasks like bomb disposal and minimally invasive surgery. However, robots have been around since the 16th century, evolving from steam-powered "machines" to those powered by electricity and even artificial intelligence. Today's robots rely heavily on computer programming. This trend has not only led many UK universities to establish a new discipline called Robotic Engineering but has also influenced […]

[British Media Studies] Journalism, Media Studies: How to "Transmit" the "New" in the Digital Age?

Media plays an important role in the social system as a means of conveying information. From ancient times when smoke signals and beacon fires were used, to the use of paper, text, sound, images, the internet, and social media by humans, the emergence of media combined with technological advancements has increased the speed of transmitting and receiving information. This has also given rise to industries such as journalists and news professionals responsible for collecting and reporting information for the media. From this brief overview of the development of media, it is not difficult to imagine that some students may mistakenly consider "Media and Communication" as "Journalism" and even interpret it as "graduating to become paparazzi".However, in the clear classification of British universities, Media and Communication and Journalism can be considered "close siblings". Within the "Media and Communication" family, these two disciplines can be defined as either independent disciplines or sub-disciplines under the Department of Media and Communication in some British universities. Nevertheless, for students aspiring to become journalists and news professionals, the focus will be on whether they should study Media and Communication with elective units in Journalism […]

[Choosing A-Level Subjects for Science Degrees in the UK]

When students study A-Levels in the UK, they typically choose to study 3 to 4 elective subjects. A-Level subjects are not categorised into arts, sciences, or commerce. However, UK universities usually require students to study specific combinations of A-Level subjects to qualify for admission to certain degree programmes. Since there are numerous possible combinations of A-Level subjects, this time we will focus on popular A-Level subject combinations for science degrees and introduce them to parents and students. Mathematics + Further Mathematics + Physics If mathematics is a student's strength, they can consider studying mathematics and further mathematics to demonstrate clear logical thinking skills. Adding physics to this combination shows that the student is closer to top universities and highly competitive programmes. With this combination, students can expand their options to various fields such as engineering, data sciences, actuarial studies, computer science, etc. For students who excel in mathematics, this combination is an excellent choice for securing admission to top-tier universities. Chemistry + Biology + Mathematics For students aspiring to study medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, or other competitive programmes, the above combination is a basic requirement.

[Game Programming in the UK]: Entering the University and Stepping onto the International Stage of "eSports": How to Pursue a Professional Path

Electronic games are commonly seen as a form of leisure entertainment by most students today. However, parents often criticise them as a hindrance to productivity. Since 2016, the term "eSports" has emerged, elevating electronic games to internationally recognised competitive events. "eSports" has become a new direction for young people. Popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games have started organising various international competitions with prize money reaching millions of dollars, giving rise to professional eSports teams and associated product companies that sponsor relevant competitions and teams to promote their products. The eSports industry has tremendous potential, leading to the emergence of new disciplines. Recognising this, some major countries have embraced the eSports trend by encouraging the establishment of eSports companies, supporting teams, actively discovering and nurturing eSports athletes, and even promoting the development of innovative electronic games. With the support of governments and the business sector, individual games often host various international tournaments. Even in Hong Kong, a small place, eSports athletes won gold medals in the eSports event at the 2018 Asian Games! eSports has evolved from entertainment to an international competitive sport and even a burgeoning industry.

[British Product Design - Studying Product Design: Where Creativity Meets Innovative Technology]

In recent years, Product Design has emerged from being a niche discipline in the field of design to gaining attention among the rising new design subjects. Although not a recent subject, Product Design has attracted students who are not content with sitting in front of a computer, possess boundless imagination, and aspire to advance human life. However, as students embark on this ideal path, they may face the dilemma of choosing between different teaching contents and directions within the curriculum. This issue needs to be addressed early on because different Product Design courses can have different teaching approaches. Product Design: Combining Artistry and Technicality While Product Design may seem to be primarily focused on design, it can also be considered a scientific subject. However, the distinction between "Bachelor of Arts" (BA), "Bachelor of Science" (BSc), or "Bachelor of Design" (BDes) does not determine this. Some courses labelled "Bachelor of Science" in Product Design, for example, may primarily teach computer design techniques and material craftsmanship but still revolve around design elements. The term "science" refers to courses that include units on mechanics, materials, electronics, mechanical principles, and other subjects […]

[British Social Science: Turns out, society is very "scientific"]

In the eyes of many people, social science has always been associated with terms like "humanities," "rote memorization," or even distorted images like "bluffing" and "superficial knowledge." In fact, besides studying theories, social science can also be approached through qualitative research methods such as questionnaire surveys and participant observations, or through quantitative research methods that involve data collection, integration, analysis, and the presentation of phenomena. These methods provide scientific evidence to support the study of human beings and social development. To trace the origins, the study of how humans develop from individuals to small groups, large communities, and eventually complex modern societies should start with sociology. Then, based on different research areas and topics, it further deepens into specialised disciplines. From individuals to society, an interdisciplinary study of social sustainability Like most social science subjects, sociology emphasises a systematic analysis of various issues in society, starting with small-scale analyses and gradually expanding to macro-level studies of social structures. This discipline places great importance on "humans" as the creators of "society." It begins with micro-level studies of their behaviours and values and then extends to multi-level macro-level studies of […]

[Politics in the UK] Politics and International Relations: Interest-Based Politics and International Relations Studies

Where there are people, there will be politics. In a society of individuals, politics can be understood as the effective use of systems, laws, and management methods to achieve long-term stability and harmony. Over the course of history, politics has evolved from governing territories and managing people to becoming a means of safeguarding economic and personal interests. Since the signing of the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, the concept of sovereign states has emerged, giving rise to the field of International Relations under the umbrella of politics. Although both subjects fall within the social sciences, these two disciplines were relatively less popular among students in Hong Kong. However, with a series of political and social events occurring in Hong Kong and globally, there has been a surge of interest in studying the social sciences. While sociology has been previously mentioned, politics and international relations have also gained prominence, riding the wave of this trend. Politics and International Relations: How do they differ? Interestingly, many students may not be able to differentiate between "politics" and "international relations" or may use the term "politics" broadly to refer to both subjects. […]

[UK Marketing]: "The Digital Revolution of 'Moments Drama'

The pandemic has driven electronic consumption, and marketing is rapidly transitioning to digital. The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly changed human consumption patterns. From traditional in-person visits to physical markets, we can now shop online using electronic currency without leaving our homes. This has led to the rise of electronic shopping platforms. As consumer behaviour accelerates towards digitization and high mobility, marketing strategies and methods are inevitably shifting towards digitization. Traditional print advertisements are transforming into utilising social media, the internet, and other platforms to attract customers through videos, short messages, real-time live streaming, and other means in order to capture the attention and interest of netizens.
