There is more than one way to study. If the results of JUPAS are not satisfactory, students can consider studying abroad. For example, in the popular UK, they can apply for university basic courses and connect to overseas universities.
The basic courses of British universities are specially designed for international students. After completing the one-year course, as long as they apply for the UCAS, they can enter a British university as long as they reach the specified score.
At present, most British universities are nearing the end, but the university foundation course can still be enrolled, enrolled in this September course or next January course, and then start the three-year British university course in September next year.
Add up to a total of 4 years of study, which is exactly in sync with the Hong Kong academic system.
If you want to study in the UK, you can seize this last chance to catch up with the start of the semester in September, and then have enough time to improve your academic performance, explore subjects of interest, and fully prepare for university applications and interviews.
Compared with the start of school in January, although the enrollment is a bit rushed, after going to a British school, I will spend more time on academics, cultural integration, language, and personalized guidance for further studies, so I spend more time on the edge.
The basic courses of British universities are divided into "One to One" basic courses offered by universities and "One to Many" university basic courses.
For students who have not yet found their favorite university or subject, you may wish to enroll in the "One to Many" university foundation course to help you connect to multiple universities through UCAS.
Since UCAS provides 5 voluntary options, students of the "One to Many" university foundation course can "diversify their investments", apply for different favorite universities and subjects with one score, and try to apply for higher ranked universities.
The basic courses of "One to Many" do not belong to a certain university. When choosing courses, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that their scores are recognized by local universities.
Ask yourself if you haven't mastered your own learning level or have a clear goal for university entry, you need the assistance of courses and the guidance of teachers.
A good university foundation course provides academic support, and the course design is perfectly connected to university teaching, allowing students to naturally transition to university courses, which is why graduates of these foundation courses can be favored by universities.
