Apply to a G5 school in the UK

1.UK G5 Universities

In the mouths of students and parents, the term G5 universities is often circulated, meaning the five strongest top universities in the UK, known as the UK G5 universities.University of OxfordUniversity of CambridgeImperial College London University College London (UCL) and LSE. These five bright academic stars have really shone for many students who are interested in promotion. Of course, the British G5 university admission standards are quite high, Oxford, Cambridge and even belong to their own set of “rules of the game”, but still by many top students, the degree of enthusiasm and the famous music group is no less diverse.

2.The Soldier's Place - Professional Qualification Disciplines

Apart from the G5 universities in the UK, Hong Kong students are also keen on a number of disciplines with professional qualifications. Medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine are certainly the most sought-after disciplines, but even professional disciplines such as law, accounting, architecture and physiotherapy are seeing an increasing number of applicants. The limited number of degrees available in some of these disciplines makes it even more difficult to apply. In order to get a place, applicants have been devoting a lot of time to decorating their Personal Statements and even starting their UCAS applications a few months before the deadline. While you may think that everything is in order, there are still a few things that you need to pay attention to in order to secure a place in the UK G5 university and specialist arena.

3.School selection strategy, matching is important

Choosing a university is an extremely important part of the UCAS application process. Although we are all enrolled in the same subjects, but for each student, your application is unique, especially to refer to each student's academic performance, subject choices, personal character, research direction, etc. to analyze, in order to develop the appropriate selection of school programs. For example, if you are applying for a medical school, you may be able to score a mid-level UCAT score, so you should take a relatively robust combination of medical school choices to ensure that you can get an interview; and if you have a good academic record, you should make sure that you get an interview before you apply for a medical school choice.

4.Participate in different activities to enhance your resume.

Personal Statement is the applicant's “business card”. In view of the unprecedented competition among the G5 universities and professional disciplines in the UK, students will make every effort to show their best side in the “business card”. However, the “business card” is not the only thing that you need to know. However, there is a limit to the number of words that can be used in a ‘business card’ and some students may not be able to put their best foot forward, often because they have not been involved in many relevant activities. The company's mission is to provide the best possible service to its customers by providing them with the best quality products and services in the marketplace, and by providing them with the best possible service.

5.Understanding your career path

All students know that they “want to study a certain subject”, but not all of them are aware of their own career and development direction. Sometimes they may choose a course that they don't necessarily like, or they may not have a clear understanding of their career development after completing the subject. Before taking a course, you should first understand the different career paths after completing the course. In addition, individual students who do not yet have a clear employment intention can also participate in different related activities to strengthen their practical knowledge of different industries and enrich their personal resumes.

6.Pre-application deployment prior to enrollment

In the face of fierce competition, HaiLan has set up a new brand - HaiLan Tutoring, which specializes in providing one-on-one training programs for students who are interested in applying to G5 universities in the UK or applying for specialties to increase their chances of success. We recommend that students begin training two to three years prior to submitting their UCAS application. In addition to the usual content such as exam preparation and interview training, individual courses will also include Profile Enhancement, which focuses on participating in extracurricular activities related to the course of study, with a view to enriching the student's self-supporting letter and curriculum vitae.

The HaiLan Tutoring program will arrange tutors with rich experience in applying to G5 universities and colleges in the UK according to the participants' wishes for further education. They will provide one-stop services for them in a one-on-one manner, starting from the subject of enrollment, arranging tailor-made extra-curricular activities and internships, personal references, college entrance exams, interview training, and applying for admission to UCAS, and so on. The tutor will arrange a one-stop-shop for them. Throughout the process, the tutor will report and follow up with parents on a monthly basis to ensure that both parents and students are fully aware of the progress of their application.

英国G5大学

在学生和家长的口中,经常都会流传着英国G5大学这个名词,意指英国大学之中、最强大的五间顶尖学府,被称为英国G5大学。University of Oxford 牛津大学、University of Cambridge 剑桥大学、Imperial College London 伦敦帝国学院、University College London (UCL) 伦敦大学学院及LSE 伦敦政治经济学院。这五颗耀眼的学术之星,确实闪亮了不少有意晋升的同学。当然,英国G5大学的收生标准相当高,牛津、剑桥甚至有属于自己的一套「游戏规则」,却依然受到不少尖子学生的追捧,热烈程度与现今著名的音乐组合不遑多样。

兵家必争之地 - 专业资格学科

除了英国G5大学外,香港同学也热衷于一些具有专业资格的学科。医科、牙医、兽医固然是兵家必争之地,就连法律、会计、建筑、物理治疗等专业学科,申请者与日俱增。部分学科本身开放的学位有限,变相加剧申请难度。为了一席学位,申请人各出奇谋,投放大量时间装饰自己的个人自荐信(Personal Statement)、甚至提早在限期前几个月,就开始他们的英国大学联招 (UCAS)申请。大家以为万事俱备,其实尚有一些需要注意的地方,才能确保在英国G5大学、专科的竞技场上取得一席。

选校策略、搭配很重要

在整个UCAS申请中,选择大学是极为重要的部分。虽然大家报读的学科、方向相同,但是对于每一位同学而言,你们的申请都是独一无二的,特别是要参考每位同学的学术成绩、科目选择、个人性格、研究方向等作出分析,来制定适切的选校方案。以报名医科为例,个别同学可能在医科能力考试 (UCAT)中,考取分数大约在中等的水平,在选择报名医学院时,就应该採取相对稳健的组合,确保同学能够获得面试机会;个别学术成绩较优异的同学,在医学院的选择搭配上,也应该确保自己获得面试机会为前提。

参与不同活动,提升个人履历

个人自荐信 (Personal Statement) 算得上是申请人的“名片”,有鑑于英国G5大学及专业学科,竞争一向空前绝后,同学都会花尽心思,在“名片”裡尽显自己最美好的一面。然而,“名片”的字数有限,部分同学的内容未能“贴地”,往往是因为同学此前较少参与相关的活动有关。同学可以藉著暑假或长假期时段,参与报名科目最有关连的活动经历,为自己的个人履历积累相关的经验,申请时自当脱颖而出,胜人一筹。
