Preparing our Students for International Universities

All students at Dulwich International High School Programme Suzhou expect to attend universities outside of China and we take great care in preparing our students for their university applications. The university application process abroad is considerably more complex than the equivalent process in China; all our students attend classes and workshops that prepare them thoroughly to make informed best choices about the next stage of their educational journey.  

 

Providing A Safe Bridge for Our Students

Dulwich International High School Programme Suzhou is the safe bridge for our students to the university of their choice and we have a team of expert university counsellors to provide students and their parents with specific careers advice, practical help and support. From the time each student joins us, our counsellors work with him or her on a regular basis to map out an individual guidance plan to achieve a university place that fits their aims and suits their abilities. Our counsellors spend time with each student and their parents in individual sessions during the application process. Parents are also provided with support and information that helps them to become actively involved in the process. We hold various information sessions throughout the year and counsellors are available to talk to parents face-to-face on an appointment basis or by phone. By the end of Year 12, students will not only have selected their best-fit universities, but they will have also gained skills in research, analytical thinking and public speaking. 

Strong Links with Universities Around the World

Furthermore, we offer numerous opportunities for students to engage directly with universities. Our Counsellors maintain close relationships with many world-renowned institutions and frequently invite admissions officers to visit, allowing students to discuss available programmes face-to-face while gaining a comprehensive understanding of both national and university-related matters.
Each year, we also host the University Fair, which brings together more than 120 prestigious universities from around the globe. This event provides students and their parents with an invaluable opportunity to familiarise themselves with the university application process. Through direct conversations with admissions officers, they receive timely insights on subjects such as programmes, scholarships, and entry requirements—assisting them in making well-informed decisions about their further education.
