[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 […]

[UK Art and Design: The Importance of Preparing a Portfolio for Studying Art and Design]

There are numerous universities in the UK that offer art and design courses, covering a wide range of disciplines such as fashion, product design, jewellery design, animation, photography, and more. Moreover, the UK is the country that first proposed the concept of "creative industries" and provides comprehensive support for artistic and creative talents. As a result, some students plan to study art and design in the UK at an early stage. However, some students have encountered obstacles when applying to UK universities, and upon further investigation, it was discovered that they all made a common mistake. Popular subjects at UK universities: Graphic Design Art and Design Incomplete Portfolio According to the requirements of different universities, students applying for art and design disciplines need to submit a portfolio. In the process of handling student applications, I have received portfolios that mostly focus on a single expressive medium, such as "drawing," which appears relatively monotonous. However, art is not limited to just drawing. Subjects like fashion and interior design can be enriched with models, photographs, videos, and more. Additionally, many students only focus on the "outcome" and only showcase finished […]

[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. […]

[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 […]

[UK Art and Design: Study Digital Design in London]

Art and design subjects have been evolving towards "technologization" and "three-dimensionality." Technologization refers to the use of design tools that have gradually shifted from brushes and canvases to extensive computer applications and professional design software. The skills required for graphic design have also transformed from the traditional process of drafting compositions on paper to instant creation on computer screens with the help of technology. This change has led many universities to keep up with the trend by offering Digital Design courses along with a range of related programmes such as Digital Media Design and Games Design. It's not as simple as just using computers. Sometimes the Digital Design course is referred to as a "computerised graphic design course" because, in the first year of the programme, students are taught graphic design techniques and skills using computers and design software. This can create the misconception that Digital Design is solely about using technology. However, the "three-dimensionality" of Digital Design lies in the fact that the curriculum not only teaches how to combine technology with graphic design but also extends the teaching content to the realm of technology. This includes […]

[Art and Design in the UK: Explore Studying Art and Design in London]

Looking at the recent UCAS applications for universities in the UK, it is evident that many international students still have a strong interest in Art and Design subjects. While Art and Design may not have the same professional certifications as fields like Accounting or Physiotherapy, they have evolved beyond traditional paper-and-pencil drawing and now encompass emerging areas such as animation and esports, opening up new design opportunities. Traditional vs. Emerging: Increasingly Promising Job Prospects in Art and Design Even within the field of Art and Design, there is a distinction between traditional and emerging disciplines. The term "traditional" refers to subjects that have historically attracted more student applications and inquiries. Most universities offering Art and Design programmes include these common subjects: Fashion Design 時裝設計 Graphic Design 圖像設計 (一般是指2D平面設計) Illustration 插畫繪圖 Interior Design 室內設計 With the widespread use of computer technology and design software, these traditional subjects have incorporated digital design elements to keep up with the evolving demands of technology. This transformation aligns well with emerging industries such as animation, digital media, electronic gaming, and the like, creating new courses: 3D Games Design 立體影像及遊戲圖像設計 Animation 動畫設計 Product Design […]

[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 […]

[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. As most consumers have shifted to electronic or online consumption, their consumption habits, purchasing power, payment methods, and preferences for goods and services leave traces in the digital world. This allows businesses to have more convenient ways to adjust their sales techniques by analysing and integrating consumer behaviour and consumption patterns. They can use comprehensive data and results to cater to and attract specific target customers.

[#LINKEDUpeople: Student Interview #001 Isaac Ho, University of Bristol]

"By being goal-oriented and seizing the opportunity to pursue what interests you, enjoy life to the fullest."Isaac, who started studying at the University of Bristol last September, is currently enrolled in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) foundation programme, with a focus on mechanical engineering. "Studying the foundation programme in university allows me to concentrate on my desired subjects earlier than my peers, and I see it as an advantage."  Isaac had already developed an interest in engineering during middle school and was determined to pursue a career in this field. In order to adapt to university life a year earlier and focus on his major subjects, he decided to skip the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) and directly enrol in the University of Bristol's renowned engineering bridging programme. "Online classes don't feel too unfamiliar, and I even feel the teachers' extra care in one-on-one interactions." Due to the pandemic, Isaac mentioned that most classes were conducted online. The professors also arranged online group discussions and provided opportunities for walk-in sessions, aiming to provide a classroom-like experience. Even though it was online teaching, the teachers put […]

[#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 […]
