University Guidance Update

​The International Stream class of 2015 have embarked on the next stage of their academic careers, taking up degrees in diverse countries and diverse degree areas. The UK remains the most popular destination, followed by the USA, Canada and Europe ex-UK. Interestingly, although offers were issued by universities in Hong Kong, none of the students chose Hong Kong as their final destination. Please see below the full list of 25 destinations, sorted by country, as well as visuals showing data on countries and degree areas.
The Guidance Department is delighted to welcome Mrs Catherine McCarthy (cmccarthy@lfis.edu.hk) to the team as our new North America Advisor (USA and Canada).
