QUANTUM PREP INSIGHTS

Subject preparation Universities in the UK are very strict with subject choices, and doubly so for quantitative subjects such as Engineering. To even be considered, you need to ensure that you make the right subject choices early on in your academic career, particularly in Math and Physics.  A hard requirement of nearly all Engineering courses would be Mathematics, and the top universities expect applicants to take the hardest mathematics classes available. For A-Level candidates, this would be Mathematics, with Further

One misconception about a Linguistics major is that being a Linguist means you speak a lot of languages. While many linguists have learned to speak many languages through their fieldwork, a person who speaks many languages is a polyglot, not a linguist! So, what exactly do Linguistics majors study, and why does it matter?   Linguistics is the scientific study of language, how it works, how it is acquired, and how people use it to communicate and interact. Because human history,

Engineering remains one of the most popular programmes for students studying abroad in the UK. Besides being a dynamic and ever-developing field, engineering graduates often have a wealth of career options in R&D, finance, and technology. The degree itself gives those graduates highly transferable problem solving and quantitative skills, leading to high job stability as well – engineers in the UK reported a nearly 10% pay increase from 2020-2021, despite COVID-19 causing pay freezes or even pay cuts in other

As summer is approaching, many students and parents (mostly parents) have come to us requesting advice on activities they should do to impress colleges. “WOW Activity” has hence become a hot topic, especially with concern about increasingly selective college admissions.  In this article, we will explain what a “WOW Activity” should look like, examine the feasibility of actualizing such ideas, and share examples of what past students have done to earn places at their dream schools. Finally, we will give

A few years ago, my student in Cornell University’s Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management Program told me about his interest in minoring in Information Science. He believed that this subject offers him essential skills to adapt to and survive in this rapidly changing world. I immediately asked my student to tell me more about Information Science. After learning about this major, I became so impressed by the opportunities it provides to students that I spent the next few

Biomedical Science is often overlooked as being the “Medicine safety” programme in the U.K. Since students are advised to only use four of their five programme choices for Medicine, many Medicine hopefuls will apply for Biomedical Science as their fifth slot. But many students, whether they’re interested in Biology or Medicine, overlook the unique opportunities that this field can bring.  Biomedical Science occupies a central position between the two fields of Biology and Medicine, serving as a unique hybrid between
