Celebrating the Class of 2025
This year, the story of our Class of 2025 is one of journeys that span the globe. As we look back on their accomplishments, we are filled with pride—not only for the impressive offers they have received, but for the resilience, creativity, and spirit they have shown along the way. Their successes are more than numbers; they reflect countless hours of dedication, the courage to follow dreams, and the values of curiosity, empathy and responsibility that shape our community.
As shown in the graph above, many have chosen the United Kingdom, where 39% of our graduates will continue their studies. From world-class universities to art schools steeped in tradition and innovation, the UK has become the leading destination for their next chapter. Among these students, 100% are going to G5 & Russell Group Universities, of which 74% will attend Top 50 QS Universities (UCL, ICL, LSE, KCL, Manchester & Edinburgh). On the other side of the Atlantic, the United States welcomes 29% of our graduates. 50% of our graduates will attend Top 50 US News National Universities (including Washington University in St. Louis, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Boston University, Universities of California). Australia draws 14% of ther Class of 2025 and 100% of them will attend Top 40 QS Rankings (mostly The University of Sydney and the University of Melbourne).
Closer to home, Hong Kong, China remains a choice for 6% of our graduates(The University of Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology). 5% of the Class of 2025 are heading off to Canada (McGill University, University of British Columbia, University of Toronto) and other destinations including Japan, New Zealand, Malaysia, China, Hungary, and the Netherlands.
As the destinations of our graduates' show, their journeys are more than academic; they reflect a deeper purpose and a shared set of values nurtured at Dulwich. Wherever they go, they carry with them the mindset and motivation to thrive in diverse cultures and to make a meaningful difference in the world. Our broad-based and student-centred education has given them not only knowledge and skills, but also the confidence to act with responsibility, creativity, and empathy. Through opportunities both inside and beyond the classroom, they have learned to see themselves as bridges connecting communities, cultures, and ideas, preparing them to contribute to society and the planet with vision and care.
Just as diverse as their destinations are the fields our graduates have chosen to pursue. Business (18%) stands out as the most popular path, followed closely by Sciences (16%) and Art (15%). Others are drawn to Humanities and Social Sciences (13%), Engineering (12%), or more specialised areas such as Media & Communications (7%) and Computer Science (7%), while the remaining 12% explore unique fields from Law to Agricultural Technology. This variety illustrates their confidence to explore different paths, their creativity in following passions, and their integrity in choosing directions true to themselves.
