UK State Sixth Form College Seminar ( + Admission Data Analysis of Non-Jupas Route)

Studying GCE A-levels in a State Sixth Form College is the cheapest option in sixth-form, where tuition and accommodation expenses can start at around HKD$170,000 every year. The GCE A-levels qualifications also have the advantage, which reserves the possibility for students to apply to universities in Hong Kong via the Non-Jupas route. If the Non-Jupas application were successful, your overall education expenses would be much smaller than studying in a university in the UK!

In the seminar, John Leggott College will introduce you aspects of the study life in a state sixth form college, while British United will complement the discussion with an analysis of Admission Data via the Non-Jupas route:

The 33^rd Best Performing State Sixth Form College (Sunday Times 2022)

As state colleges operate with government funding, they are usually restricted from being too selective when setting their entry requirement, to make sure the education needs of local students of different abilities and from different background are well taken care of. In the three years before the pandemic (2017-2019), John Leggott College was ranked among top 25-50 for A-levels results. In 2022, it’s ranked the 33^rd among over 100 state sixth form colleges in the UK in the Sunday Times league table.
