University Events Upcoming
Yonsei University
I wrote to Yonsei to ask if they could provide a virtual visit for ISY students. Here is their reply:
Instead of having virtual or onsite seminars, the Office of Admissions plans to upload videos on Youtube (for international students and overseas Korean).
The videos will basically cover admissions guidelines and FAQs.
Please feel free to check the link below around early April.

The QMUL MBBS Malta has become one of the most popular programmes in Europe.
In 2022 we saw out first cohort of MBBS Malta students graduate and this has further increased interest in the British medical degree offered by Queen Mary University of London. Applications have been growing year on year and as such this programme has itself become heavily oversubscribed.
