The relaxation of BNO visa restrictions for Hong Kong residents in the United Kingdom, coupled with the successive relaxation of overseas entry restrictions due to the epidemic, has led to a sharp rise in the number of students studying in the United Kingdom.
British institutions that offer top-up courses have specially set up "flexible admission requirements" for Hong Kong students, and students can be admitted unconditionally. In other words, fresh DSE or UCAS candidates have already secured their degrees before they are released, and can be articulated within one year at the earliest. Favorite UK university.
Students who meet the standard will have a chance to win a scholarship of £7,000, while the flattest course only costs HK$300,000, which is good news for DSE candidates.
Affected by the fifth wave of the epidemic, Hong Kong students "leave their summer vacation early", disrupting the rhythm of many parents and students.
British private institutions that offer pathway programmes (Foundation/ International Year One) exclusively set up "flexible admission requirements" for Hong Kong students. Students can be admitted unconditionally to some pathway programmes based on their on-campus grades, without having to wait for the end of the school year or after the DSE results are released. Knowing the result, even if DSE makes a slight mistake, you can go to the UK for further studies.
The connected universities, including Durham University, University of Leeds, University of Bristol and Lancaster University, are among the top 20 top universities in the UK.
The general study period of university foundation courses is 1 year, and students only need to meet the academic requirements before they can enter the university of their choice.
The course provides additional support for international students as they adjust to study life at a UK university.

Many students have been admitted to UK institutions. The following is the sharing of real student cases in "English Education":
1) Sally is a fresh DSE candidate: the school's DSE score (Best 5) is 15, and the Form 5 general subject is passed
Because her family immigrated to the UK, Sally decided to apply for further education in the UK, but her evaluation score may not be able to get admission to the university of her choice. Therefore, she applied for the international one-year bridging course under the advice of her further education consultant.
In the past, international first-year students had to pass the DSE test. Under the new measure "flexible admission conditions", Sally passed the Form 5 general subject and IELTS 5.5, and obtained the international first-year, computer and computer courses of Royal Holloway and Birmingham City University of London University. Admission to the Faculty of Science.
After winning the offer, she doesn't need to worry about her DSE scores. After completing the bridge course, Sally can connect to the second or third year of the university.
2) John is a graduating Form 5 student in Hong Kong
Two years ago, my brother was successfully admitted to a UK university and studied physiotherapy through a pathway program. Therefore, John's family also plans to apply for him to study occupational therapy in the UK.
However, John was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia, which affected his studies. His grades in the last semester of Form 5 were not satisfactory. He finally applied with his grades in Form 4 and IELTS 7.0, and he performed well in the interview. The University of West England, Bristol and the University of East Anglia have unconditional offers to study at the Occupational Therapy Foundation. John said the new measures can reduce his academic stress and he is very happy to be able to study occupational therapy, which he is deeply interested in.
Samuel Chen, Executive Director of Yingzhi Education, attended the "British Higher Education Exhibition" earlier, and shared his experience of studying abroad with parents in the lecture.
Hong Kong is the third source of university students in the UK
UCAS was released earlier this year. Before the application deadline in January, a total of 111,410 university applications were received, of which 6,010 were from Hong Kong, accounting for 5% of the total, making it the third largest source of students in the world.
The number of Hong Kong students applying for admission to UK private schools and pathway programmes has also continued to increase. Earlier, the Institute of Independent Schools (ISC) also announced that about 5,845 Hong Kong students are studying in UK private schools, and the number has returned to its high level in 2013. With more students intending to study in the UK, degrees will become more and more tense.
