話雖如此，但唔係個個負擔得起。如果當時我大女去左外國讀大學，细女就唔會咁早送出國，絕大機會要到讀大學先去。我今年兩個都在外國讀書，真係好感受到財政負擔。不過，佢哋如果唔係駛埋d無謂錢，我都唔會特別出聲，無謂俾壓力佢哋。

重點係：點解咁重負擔，要大幅降低生活質素，我地都要送仔女出國留學呢？點解香港教育會係咁呢？講到呢度，又唔講得喇！

教育贏在終點線，創意無限 !

重點係＂贏＂同＄真係咁緊要？可能我個人又懶又平庸，不思進取，我從根本價值觀質疑呢d概念。
所以當尋晚我問阿仔點解揀physics佢答話因為老師話個syllabus 適合curious and inquiring type 嘅學生，我好開心，因為佢覺得自己係呢類學生。

我既諗法同你相約，只要佢地揀到心中理想、興趣既科目，俾心機完成課程，我唔信會餓死佢地。我係一個對錢唔係睇得咁重要既人，所以我亦係咁教佢地。

Not many course or University require this EPQ. But for some course in very top university, take for example applying Architecture at Bath (top no 1 architecture school in UK), they specifically say on their admission requirement as follow:

http://www.bath.ac.uk/study/ug/prospectus/subject/architecture/entry-requirements/
Your application will be strengthened by:

• evidence of a strong interest in architecture demonstrated by, but not limited to, extra-curricular activity, research or work experience
• evidence of study in addition to core subjects such as additional AS level(s)
• additional A level(s)
• a relevant Extended Project
  

This is important to know which course and which university wanna to apply in future, cause really top university usually have their specific requirement like the one I mentioned above.

Preferred subjects

• We prefer traditional A level subjects
• Mathematics/Physics and Art and Design/Design Technology are highly desirable (NB a focus on 3D in Design Technology is preferred)
  

Preferred subject combinations.
We have a strong preference for applicants who have A levels that demonstrate a breadth of learning which includes a combination of mathematics/sciences with arts/humanities.

呀大剛通知英國有間 top 50 以內嘅大學， admission staff 同佢 tutor 講上年 offer 左嘅學終於剩左無人讀 ...

"又話明年有机會會取消 offer 比海外生少 d 學位嘅制度", does it mean "明年有机會 offer MORE 比海外生"?

Economics 算 humanities 嗎？

是的。
我朋友(HK) 將選科，
若想讀phy, chem, bio 只可選DSE.
若想行IB, 可以選兩科science  及一科humanities, 是可選Econ

skate

係有可能同 UK 本地生睇齊, 有能者就有位

Yes, Econ is a humanity subject. Speaking about balance between Sci and Humanity subject, many course (even professional degree like medic, dental and Law) in very top universities (or colleges in UD) do consider favorably on students with these balance of choices.

Then if my son's choice is double math, chem, phy and econ, would it be too imbalanced? It's a dilemma as he is a bit more capable and interested in Science subjects, and also heard that it's harder to get A* for humanities subject such as History.
Also, one problem is he is not yet sure what he wants to study in universities, it might be econ, chem, engine, physic......he just know he does not want medicine, law, architect; that's why he picked these five subjects. Seems double math is very crucial for his possible choice of econ and engine ?

Taking 5 A-levels I would say is a bit too many. If he is capable, focus on 4 A-levels and aiming A*  is better. If he is more towards Econ or Engineer, taking double Maths, Phys for Science side is better then having Chem.

You can see from example like CivilEng at Bath or ICL (they are the top 3 CivilEng course in UK)

Bath
A Levels                           

Typical Offer: A2: A*AA

We are keen to encourage applicants who use a fourth A-level to broaden their education, and may make an alternative offer across all four subjects of AAAA.

Essential:

• Minimum grade A in A2 Mathematics
• General Studies is excluded
• 
  

Desirable:

• Though Maths is the only mandatory subject, Physics is recommended. We like to see challenging arts or humanities subjects alongside maths, science and technology. We value this more highly than Further Maths.
  

            

ICL
A-levelsCandidates offering A-levels as entry requirements should achieve passes in three A2 full A-level subjects. The minimum offer will normally be A*A*A overall, to include:

• A* in Mathematics, with a grade A in all Mathematics modules (AS and A2 level). Mechanics 1 (M1) is essential; M2 is desirable
• A*/A in Physics
  

Mathematics requirements
Although Further Mathematics is not a course requirement, it is an advantage and is encouraged.

Thank you so much for your detailed reply!

He is planning to take 5 subjects in lower six and then drop 1 subject in upper six, probably and hope that by then he would know what he want for university.

By then he may drop further math or chem or phy when he can identify his preference. Econ seems a good choice then in both scenarios : 1. It's core if he takes econ in uni 2. It's complimentary humanities subject if he takes chem/phy/engine etc
