if your son is academically competent enough i'd suggest him to take GCEAL at the same time. for science research programs, Oxford / Cambridge are for sure the best programs, my friend is taking Natural Science in Cambridge and they are doing very research-based studies at undergraduate level & one tutor would only take care of 2 students (very focused) and they could obtain a very unique Master degree by taking 1 more year after finishing undergrad, only in OxBridge.

UCL/Imperial are also top universities for science. I don't suggest studying medicine overseas (if you are good enough take it in HK), its super expensive and the qualification is quite problematic. Generally studying science overseas is much better than in HK as their academic atmosphere for research is much greater than that in HK Universities and only people who are really smart & interested in science would choose to study science in the UK. In HK some (not all) students pick science as a "safety choice" only or real smart students all gone for medic/law/gbus. Good luck!

getting a medical degree then an international heath postgraduate degree may already lead you to internship in the united nations and a post in hk gov. health related job.

They are right choices.


In HK, you can pick other hot programs, not necessary every programs are biology related. Like LLB, GBus, QFin .....

My son hasn't taken M1 / M2, advised by his techer, if he applies for any science program in UK university, he needs to take the AP calculus AB exam, is that the case?  Many thanks for the advice.

你要留意，這兩科不是醫科，在現今及未來社會都有實用及研究價值。但冇醫生搵咁多$$$！

Thanks.  Yes, I aware of that.  In fact, his priority is studying Medicine in HKU or CU.  Advised by his teacher, he should not choose Medicine as backup in UCAS as the % allocated for international student is low and he needs to retake the relevant exam when coming back to HK.  As such, he would like to choose something related to biology or research for UCAS application, does this make sense?

一般英國大學都沒有問題，我識人在lC讀。Strathclyde 都唔錯，特別是BME。

That's true and the rationale why more than so call 20% ceiling.

#12，#13的內容有不少是與事實不符，例如醫科何來副學位學生，NJ上限不是25%，會誤導大眾家長！

[cuhk] In recent years, 20-30% of the class are undergraduate or graduate students.

In the past, 15% only for graduates.

每年平均80非聯招入医科，但医科包括医，牙，護理，平均8O個位其中指定二成給本地非聯招，咁海外生爭約65位，兩間大學共約130給海外

brother4

看番聯招，八大學額對非聯招封頂為兩成半，非聯招生昰1B，AL，副學生，自資生，本地大學生叩門医科，外國大學生如bio med,biochemistry,外國讀医，degree,大陸尖指

是否可以這樣理解：兩間大學共有420一年級位，其中有80－100位是非聯招的有學位或轉學生？ 加埋 non-JUPAS 的中學生申請人，經聯招入讀2大的醫科一年級生不足300人？

其實每年可以有幾多人可以靠本地或外地 biomed 入 HKU 或 CU 醫科？

是否大多數都是一個想空想。

brother4

看 royal college of surgeon in dublin /st. george medical school 的 bio med 學士學位成績好,第二年有機會轉醫/本地 HK 醫科,冇百分百保證,如不成功 bio med本港出路窄. 另冇當地護照,畢業很難當地工作
