University Offers 2024

As the university application results are gradually released, as of now, our Year 13 students have received admission notices from world-renowned institutions such as the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, UCL in the UK, Northwestern University in the US, and the University of Toronto in Canada.

“It is great to see so many of our students already holding excellent offers of places at some very good universities worldwide. Of course, they must now continue to work hard and achieve the results they need to confirm these places! For many students that are holding offers for multiple universities, they now have tough decisions to make about where to study once they graduate from Harrow.

Whilst these successes can be attributed to the hard work and commitment of our students, I’d also like to pay tribute to the roles played by our team of expert university counsellors, excellent tutors and parents too.

Here at Harrow we have a very well developed program of careers advice and guidance. The wide range of offers of university places received by students once again this year highlights that an A Level education is recognised as the perfect stepping stone into undergraduate study anywhere in the world, and the calibre of our curriculum means that our students are amongst the most desirable when it comes to university places,” Director of Six Form, Mr Andrew Hayes said.

A Level at Harrow Beijing

Harrow Beijing’s A Level program is rooted in the renowned Harrow School in the UK, taught by globally experienced A Level educators. Harrow Beijing students have achieved outstanding academic results through studying A Levels , paving the way for invitations from world-renowned institutions. In addition to academic courses, we offer students a wide range of opportunities for learning and engaging in diverse activities. Students can choose to participate in EPQ project. The purpose of this project is to encourage and allow pupils to explore their interests outside of what they might normally study at school, or to extend their understanding of a subject they currently study.

University and Career Counselling

Success is not accidental; outstanding achievements are inseparable from early planning. Harrow Beijing has a professional team for college guidance and career planning, ensuring students are well-prepared for the future.

Our university and career counselling starts in Year 9 through the PSHE career sessions. Students get the opportunity to take personality quizzes, understand different work environments, and explore potential careers through the professional platform we use.

In Year 12, students are assigned to a counselor who provide each student individual counselling through one-to-one appointments along with meeting with parents to discuss the university application plan.

We want to help each student come up with a personalized strategy for their career goals based on ‘best fit’, making sure that they feel motivated, secure and comfortable with their university plan. Throughout the process we provide support and advice to help students target specific schools and their programs.

In addition to PSHE careers lessons starting in Year 9 and presentions to different year groups throughout the academic year we give university classes every week in Year 12 to help students understand different university application systems, teach them how to write good college essays, and advise them in preparing them for standardized tests, etc. The university counseling team also helps students navigate and select summer schools that provide a good opportuniy for external learning into the intended degree subject. 

Congratulations to Year 13 students on securing desirable offers. Looking forward to more good news!
