University
UK university education has a long history of hundreds of years. Outstanding academic traditions and multiculturalism, as well as excellence in research and teaching are recognized and well-respected all around the world. Housing over 130 universities, academic disciplines in the UK are so diverse that most students are able to study the subject they’re passionate about, increasing their motivation of learning!
Medicine & Allied Health:
Coping with demand from international students, in recent years international quotas for disciplines like Medicine, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Radiography, Optometry, Speech Therapy are gradually relaxed. Meaning that Hong Kong students will also benefit from more options in terms of universities and programmes – as well as increased chance of success!
Specialist Degrees Not Available in Hong Kong:
Apart from that, disciplines that are rare or even not available in Hong Kong such as Meteorology, Art Curation, Podiatry, Aviation Management, Aviation & Pilot Training, Vet Nursing, Oceanography/Marine Biology, Agriculture & Fishery all have their own undergraduate and master’s degree programmes.
3-Year Undergraduate Honours Degree
Undergraduate honours degrees in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are typically all three years long, while universities in Scotland run four-year programmes for most subjects.
4-5 Year Undergraduate Honours Degrees
Certain professional disciplines require a longer period of study. Pharmacy, Optometry and Chiropractic typically take four years to complete, while Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Science are usually five-year programmes.
1-Year Taught Postgraduate / 1-2 Year Postgraduate (Conversion)
Most taught master’s degrees in the UK finish in a year’s time. Looking for a career change? Postgraduate (Conversion) may help open door to a range of professional careers, including Radiography, Physiotherapy, Dietetics, Surveying, Urban Planning and many more.
Application Procedures: Applying through UCAS, or Direct Applications via Education Consultants You can apply for more than the five UCAS application quotas!
Admission to UK universities is typically through academic routes. Students can apply using secondary school qualifications such as the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE), A-levels or the International Baccalaureate (IBDP), either through UCAS or by submitting applications directly to universities via education centres like us. If a student’s academic results and English proficiency (usually demonstrated through IELTS) fall slightly below the entry requirements for undergraduate programmes, they may still progress through pathway programmes with lower entry requirements. Applications for Master’s programmes, as well as Top-up entry for Associate Degree and Higher Diploma graduates, are usually submitted directly to universities through an education agent.
Academic Pathways
Apart from a handful of professional degrees, the course duration of most master’s programmes is 12 months – starting from late September to early October, and last till the following August. Holders of a second-upper class (or 2:1 in the UK) honours bachelor’s degree will usually be admitted into a taught postgraduate programmes in the same academic discipline in UK’s Top 50 universities.
A very good option for graduates who are considering a career change! Most Postgraduate (Conversion) last for one to two years, which is significantly shorter than doing another 3-year bachelor’s degree from scratch. Upon completion of the postgraduate conversion degree, students will be able to fulfill certain academic requirements in their selected profession, enabling them to obtain the required professional recognition through registration or further examinations.
