Studying Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE) at Oxford and Human, Social & Political Sciences (HSPS) at Cambridge are popular choices for many Hong Kong students. However, there are quite significant differences between the two subjects! Although both subjects cover Politics and International Relations, PPE includes Philosophy and Economics, while HSPS includes Sociology and Anthropology. Both subjects cover all the aforementioned major areas in the first year. One of the

SUBJECT OVERVIEW Most universities offer comprehensive General Engineering (also known as Engineering Science) programs for students interested in multiple aspects of engineering. Students applying to Oxbridge can choose their specialization in Year 3. The advantage of this program is that it allows students to gain broad knowledge across different areas of engineering, preparing them for future industry development. It also avoids students making a specialized choice without

Psychology is a scientific discipline that studies human thought patterns and behavior. Through the curriculum, students will learn data analysis and statistics, and gain in-depth knowledge of different branches of psychology, including developmental, social, clinical, cognitive, and forensic psychology, among others. . Psychology uses knowledge from various fields, combined with data analysis and statistics, to understand the mechanisms behind human thought and behavior. Fro

Q: How different is studying Economic at Oxbridge and other universities? A: Economics is the study of choice under scarcity of resources. For secondary-school level economics, students are asked to apply the theories to real-life situations qualitatively. Yet, for university-level economics, this differs greatly. In university, students need to use both qualitative and quantitative methods to explain theories, demonstrating a high requirement for mathematical skills. Microec

Previously, AAHK partnered with Christ’s College, Cambridge to co-organise our annual essay competition, which has been a great success. We received over 200 entries, and 4 winners have been chosen! Sponsored by Cathay, our 4 winners participated in a one-week-all-expenses-paid trip to Cambridge and London, where they had face-to-face supervisions with academics from Christ’s College, Cambridge. They also enjoyed a series of activities planned and prepared by our committee me

Most UK universities accept Hong Kong's DSE as an entry requirement, and many students apply to prestigious UK universities with DSE. For example, Oxford made 13 offers based on HKDSE in 2022, and Cambridge made even more, with 30. Currently, many prestigious UK universities provide direct/converted DSE admission requirements. In fact, the academic requirements for DSE public exams for Oxford, Cambridge, and the G5 universities are even lower than some so-called "divine" (hig

The vast majority of UK universities (including the University of Cambridge) still recognise HKDSE results as an admission condition. Students only need to search for "international qualifications" on the university website, then search "Hong Kong" to find relevant information (see last page for details) Taking UK G5 universities as an example, the websites of these five universities still state that they recognise HKDSE results. Therefore, students do not need to worry that
