mrsanthony，你想問嘅係農牧業還是獸醫課程？如果係前者我無做過資料蒐集同研究，因為好少香港學生會修讀，所以幫唔到手，因為唔想唔識亂講。

如果係獸醫課程，Nottingham遠比Reading出名，而且Reading個課程係Animal Science，唔係主修Veterinary Medicine，請留意。

Dear HHHR, would appreciate your insight about media and communication.  We are considering Newcastle, Loughborough and Lancaster.  Thanks a lot

3間都係Media Studies and Communication嘅英國一線大學，其中尤以Newcastle為最佳，名列10大，亦係Russell Group大學，不過入學競爭相對激烈。

想保險D可以諗埋Southampton同Cardiff，1線尾2線頭，一D都唔差，最好仲係Russell Group大學，但入學要求相對較低。


想進取D可以考慮KCL。

睇囝囝囡囡想揀咩科。簡單D講傳統上牛津文、商、社科稍強，劍橋數理稍勝。但不能一概而論，最好都係睇番想讀個科再考慮。

Thanks HHHR.
如果揀數理科，應該係Cambridge. 但亦見有學校內top students 的師兄揀Oxford讀materials science,亦有一個IB 滿分的女孩揀Oxford 讀chemistry.

雖然Oxford 比Cambridge 在理科上排名稍遜，但其實都屬世界頂尖；會否考Oxford 比較有把握丶容易一點？

According to past statistics, the average success rate of Oxford was lower than that of Cambridge:

"在一一至一五年間，考入牛津和劍橋比率分別為百分之十二點七及百分之十六點一"
(extracted from https://hk.news.yahoo.com/港生考入牛劍率低-倡加強生涯規劃-221113782.html)

However, Oxford tends to give comparatively fewer and lower conditional offers as compared with Cambridge.  In this context and given that conditional offer is received, an applicant has better chance in meeting the offer of Oxford than that of Cambridge.

Despite all the above, there are other factors that may be more decisive in choosing between Oxford and Cambridge and varies from case to case.

Thanks slamai.
I remember some people suggested before, as Oxford did have admission exam to screen the candidates before interview, and offered less interviews than Cambridge, so if the kid is good at exam should go for Oxford while kids good at interview should go for Cambridge (as Cambridge offers interview to 80% of candidates). Now Cambridge also impose exam before interviews but seems it still offers higher rate of interviews than Oxford...so I guess that suggestion is still valid?

Also my friend told me Oxford's course are generally more demanding than Cambridge (讀得辛苦d), don't know if that's true.

Well, the applicant can't get admitted to Oxbridge if s/he is not good at interview anyway.

Talking about which U's course is more demanding, I'd like to highlight the difference in exam intervals, i.e. Cambridge has exams every year while Oxford has one final exam at the very end (excluding the Mods/Prelims)!

是否兩間學府學習模式不同？曾聽counsellor講過oxford is not for everyone, 指的是學習模式，有在oxford讀法律形容，我感覺好似師徒制，一個教授帶幾個學生，上課時間不多，但每次見面前有好多準備功夫要做

The tutorial system in Oxford and the supervision system in Cambridge should be similar.  The counsellor's statement might as well be oxbridge is not for everyone.  While the tutorial system is like 師徒制, different subjects may have different tutors and there are 師父 from different colleges, too.

school visits would definitely be helpful!
we plan to do the visit in Feb, for the potential universities that DS will apply by end of this year.

Choisumwong  It seems more fruitful to visit in open days.  << agree. But the universities should have open days at different times, don't think my son can go to every one he would potentially apply for. Probably his school/teachers will bring them to Oxford and Cambridge, but not the others.

能夠親身去當然最好，一來對選firm同insurance choice有幫助，二來可親自看看校園環境、宿舍情況、膳食質素和所在城市的狀況。一讀要留低3年，如果唔鍾意都會幾難捱。

如果時間唔許可去晒所有有offer嘅大學，最少去一間campus uni同一間city uni，等小朋友感受一下兩種不同校園環境，對選校有幫助。
