【UK G5 Universities】: Complete Guide to Applying to G5 Universities and Colleges

1. UK G5 Universities In the mouths of students and parents, the term "UK G5 Universities" is often circulated, referring to the top five most powerful universities in the UK. They are University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, University College London (UCL), and LSE (London School of Economics and Political Science). These five shining academic stars have indeed attracted many ambitious students. Of course, the admission standards for UK G5 Universities are very high, with Oxford and Cambridge even having their own set of "game rules," yet they are still highly sought after by many top students. University of Oxford University of Cambridge Imperial College London University College London (UCL) LSE 2. Professional qualification subjects Apart from the G5 universities in the UK, Thai students are also enthusiastic about some professional qualification subjects. Subjects such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, law, accounting, architecture, and physiotherapy have seen an increasing number of applicants. Some of these subjects have limited available places, which adds to the difficulty of the application process. In order to secure a place, applicants go to great lengths, spending a significant amount 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. Marketing courses at universities: Rapid transformation in line with digitization In response to the shift towards […]

[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 […]

[UK Boarding School Rankings: Tips to Avoid School Ranking Traps]

Choosing an ideal UK boarding school for your children is undoubtedly a big challenge for parents. In casual conversations with other parents, you may have heard many of them say, "I want to find a boarding school in the UK that ranks in the top 50." or "How can I find schools ranked higher than 400 in the UK boarding school rankings?" However, with the various UK boarding school rankings available, it can be confusing to determine which one truly has reference value. 1. What are the UK boarding school rankings? There is no official UK government-generated ranking of boarding schools in the UK. The rankings mentioned by parents are generally the ones published by newspapers or authoritative organisations, such as The Telegraph and The Times. These rankings often use GCSE and A Level results published in August each year as the criteria. Since each organisation has its own statistical methods and limitations, the results of each ranking are not the same. Among the rankings that predominantly use academic performance as the criteria, I have chosen two commonly referenced UK boarding school ranking tables to analyse: #1 The […]

[UK University Foundation Programmes: Is Education Becoming Commercialised? Discussing the New "Product" of the UK Study Foundation]

Looking back on my days of studying in the UK, getting into university used to rely solely on the results of the A-Level public exams. However, with the growing trend of studying abroad, the British saw the potential in this international market. In the past decade, another "product" has emerged in the UK study circle: UK University Foundation Programmes. Commercialization of Foundation Programs = Irregularity? Some people may worry that Foundations are tools for educational institutions to generate profits, and they consider them less formal than A-Level courses, which may not guarantee university admission. But to be honest, whether it's universities, secondary schools, or Foundations, education is inherently a business. I believe that the commercialization of Foundation Programs is actually beneficial for students because schools will never intentionally make it difficult for students to progress or prevent them from advancing. Schools want every student to succeed and progress to Year 1, because only when students successfully enter Year 1 can universities continue to collect tuition fees from them for the remaining years and maximise their own interests. However, with so many "products" in the Foundation market, how should […]

[#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 […]

[UK Foundation Programmes: Changing Perceptions: Do British Students Study Foundation Programmes Too?]

Foundation programmes have been commonly associated with international students in the public's perception. However, in reality, there are also local British students who pursue Foundation programmes as a pathway to UK universities. Surprisingly, these local students make up over 60% of the total enrollment in Foundation programmes, completely overturning the traditional impression that only international students attend these courses! 大部分人對於銜接課程的認知，主要是招收國際學生為主，並分為 Foundation (大學基礎班) 和 International Year One (國際一年級) 課程兩種。國際學生主要在大學內的特設建築物內，與常規課程的同學分開獨立上課。但是以下要介紹的Swansea大學銜接課程，就與上述所講的顯著不同。其銜接課程不但是直屬大學管理，學生更是以「一條龍方式」直接升讀大學，原校升學的成功率也較其他大學的同類課程為高。 Swansea University 校舍對著一覽無遺的英國東北海岸Swansea Bay，環境清幽。 銜接課程直屬大學，與常規學生無異 Swansea University 的大學銜接課程，是由直屬於大學旗下的 The College 負責教學及管理，同時接受英國本地及國際學生申請入讀，當中本地學生佔整個課程的全體超過六成。他們同樣擁有 Swansea 大學的學生編號，並有權使用大學的設施，與校園內的所有學生無異。與普遍銜接課程不同，每位學生都設有專屬的tutor (導師)，照顧學生在學術和不同方面的需要。 In terms of International Year One programmes, Swansea University offers a wide range of subjects, including its strong disciplines such as engineering, computer science, business, psychology, sports science, and media studies. Compared to other UK universities offering similar programmes, Swansea covers a broader range of subjects. The key difference lies in the fact that most of these subjects are taught alongside direct Year 1 entry students. Additionally, two extra sessions of academic support and Interactive Learning Skills and Communication are included each week to help international students enhance their English language proficiency and academic skills, facilitating their adaptation to university life. Unique Single Visa Package and […]

[UK Education System] UK Foundation

The compulsory subjects in the UK Foundation programme are English Preparation and University Learning Skills. It's worth mentioning that University Learning Skills teaches students academic writing, referencing, speed reading techniques for reference materials, the effective use of word processing software for coursework, and presentation skills. These skills are specifically designed to prepare students for university-level studies and equip them with the necessary tools to transition from secondary school to university. In the UK Foundation programme, elective subjects are chosen based on the student's desired degree progression. Students select 2-3 modules that are relevant to their chosen degree, laying a solid foundation for their university courses. When embarking on their first academic journey in the UK, students face a new learning environment and mode of study, requiring them to adapt to various changes. By effectively utilising the Foundation year as a period of university adaptation, students can significantly enhance their learning outcomes, gain confidence in enjoying campus life, and strive for excellent academic performance upon graduation.

"Choosing Boarding Schools in the UK: 7 Key Points"

Choosing a boarding school in the UK - Avoidance 1: Only relying on rankings and public exam results. Who says that the higher the ranking of a boarding school in the UK, the better the school? This is the most common misconception among Thai parents, but it is also the most forgivable mistake. We understand that parents want to choose a boarding school in the UK with excellent academic performance for their children, but blindly relying on the rankings often hinders the effectiveness of their child's development plan.After all, the education in boarding schools in the UK focuses not on imparting knowledge to students, but rather on guiding their own talents and promoting holistic development beyond academics. Relying solely on academic grades for rankings is definitely not a balanced measurement indicator. What is even more astonishing is that some boarding schools in the UK adopt a selective approach, meaning that if a student's GCSE grades are not satisfactory, they may be asked to leave. This practice indirectly boosts their average scores in the rankings. Therefore, when parents look at rankings, they should also carefully understand the reasons behind […]

[UK Summer School: Which classes to choose for summer study in the UK?]

The UK is not only a popular destination for studying abroad but also a hot spot for summer study programmes. Many study tour groups have started accepting applications. Students who are interested in studying in the UK can take this opportunity to familiarise themselves with the local learning environment and prepare for their future studies.
