04 / How long
When to start.
Many families start in the year before the application, so that subject choices, reading and the personal statement are not left to the final term. Your coordinator works back from the UCAS deadlines and your child's school year.
We do not promise an offer. Universities decide admissions.
Oxford, Cambridge and most medicine, dentistry and veterinary courses have an earlier deadline in mid-October; most other courses close in January. See UCAS dates and deadlines (opens in a new tab) for each year's dates.
Tutors for applications.
Each tutor profile lists the subjects, curricula and admissions tests they prepare, qualifications checked by ELT, and the hours they can teach in Hong Kong time. Profiles are being prepared on our 繁體中文 tutor page; until then, your coordinator introduces a tutor after the consultation.
