Actually, he loves Maths & Physic.
Therefore, I think those two courses are quite suitable for him. ...

I don't know. I guess having a love for Maths & Physics doesn't necessarily means he would like Engineering or Economics / Finance or both.  Just as those who love English may find Law pretty boring.  A lot of the times, people can't make a decision because they don't really have a good understanding of what the subject is about.  It's perfectly understandable especially for young people of your son's age.  I don't know if that is the case with your son.   Perhaps if he could find out more about the 2 subjects and the different career paths each will lead to, he might find it easier to make the decision.  Talking about career paths, sometimes people have a complete misunderstanding as to the actual kind of works involved in each job.  For example, as we watch the soap opera on TV, some people might think that being a pilot, a lawyer or a doctor is really glamorous.  Ask a real pilot, lawyer or doctor, I am sure you will hear a different story.

Adjusted the course successfully from Mechan. MEng to Engineering with Business Finance MEng!
Year 1 & 2   Study economics & accountancy subjects at LSE

Year 1 to 4  Study core, computing, mechanical engineering.... courses at  UCL

Engineering + Business Finance  /  UCL + LSE = worth to go!! :)

That is really good, so did you get throught the adjustment by yourself in hk or throught agent. ucl and lse officially has no vacancy in clearing .

daddy2000

As my son's GCE result could meet the offer and even did better than expected, so he discussed with the faculty and asked for adjustment. Besides, those two courses are at the same faculty as well as the same dept.
Those who haven't got a place at UCL or LSE would not have a chance for changing course.

I see, so do you have to call them up or just by email? I don't quite understand why would the course be provided by two colleges. Lse's  prospectus is not like others and difficult to be understood. Would you mind sending a link of the course?

Congratulation!  Two birds with one stone.

By email only.

Please note that my son will go to LSE for some economic courses only for the first two years.
You can find out more from this link:

Thanks for all your valuable advice too!

If someone choose civil eng, can he also shift to mech eng/finance after offer is met?

Thanks a lot!

If he wants to register as Engineer in HK in the future, check with HKIE for recognition or chartered in UK first and transfer back to HK if needed in the future.
