English as you like it
Imagine being able to declaim "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?"' when all along your English- language skills have been limited to the "hello, how are you?" variety. What a confidence booster that would be!

Acing the US application process
Last week we began looking at receiving your college education in the US. This week we cover some of the basics of the admissions process.

Receiving your college education in the US
Receiving your college education in the United States can be very different than at Hong Kong, UK or Australian universities.

Sailing on a dream
We made it! After countless hours hunched over our online applications, the hard work paid off and we were accepted for the 12th and final Pangaea Young Explorers Program selection camp.

It's not always all about the money
Today we will be looking at visas and funding for those who wish to study in Australia. As with most nations, international students from Hong Kong who want to study in Australia will need a student visa. This needs to be applied for well in advance of the start of your course.

Canadian camp out
Students always want to play during their holidays but parents prefer them to be doing something constructive. The University of British Columbias Environmental and Leadership Development Camp will satisfy both.

Getting that offer for Australia
Let's imagine that you have decided to pursue higher education in Australia, and you have a fair idea of what you would like to study and where. How should you proceed?

Find the right fit
Studying in the UK or United States may be the aim of most Hong Kong students but which is the right fit? Education consultant Jennifer Ma Yin-wai, who co- founded Arch Academy with former banking colleague Jennifer Yu Ngar-wing, says the choice is obvious once you know the personality of the student.

The first steps toward applying for Australia
Applying for higher education in Australia is slightly different than other countries. Today we'll be considering some of the basic facts you need to know if you're considering studying Down Under.

A tiny peep into the future
Here's a challenge for secondary school students: what do you see yourself doing when you're 28?

Dare to dream
Hong Kong students don't have dreams - they have targets. That's the verdict of City University professor Alex Tham Koy-siong. And he should know, as he's also the university's senior coordinator for admissions at the Office of the Provost.
