Visit of the University of British Columbia/Canadian Applications.

Today we had a very informative series of sessions on applying to Canada from Andrew Champagne from the University of British Columbia. Interest in studying in Canada was really high with our student body, with a lot of take up from D1, M5 and M4 students to the additional Q&A sessions. As the Canadian Dollar is relatively weak against the € the costs ranging between 9000-27000 Can $ proved to be competitive when considering the alternative options for study. The presentation will be shared with the students in their Google Classroom, but some key points to consider are that the IB Diploma is normally enough, but the importance of Maths SL/HL was raised over studies, and also the necessity of a physics and chemistry combination with regard to engineering courses. Scholarships and the importance of the personal profile questions were also stressed, and clarification over English language requirements. Our thanks go to Andrew for his flexibility, and we look forward to seeing the UBC at our University Convention on November the 28th.
