Resources for Overseas Universities

Check out the following resources for information on the various overseas universities, including Information Sessions, Special Programmes, Courses and Faculties, as well as opportunities to participate in live chats to find out more about the various higher education opportunities available for you.

In considering your choice of higher education, you may want to consider the following:

• Am I considering furthering my education locally or overseas?

• What course(s) am I interested in?

• What do I hope to pursue in the future, after taking these course(s)?

• How should I prepare myself for higher education? E.g. You can converse with your teachers, seniors, or fix an appointment with the ECG Counsellor for more personalized advice. Consider also taking on internships/work attachments related to your course(s) of interest.

All the best!
