Frequently Asked Questions

Both HKU and CUHK provide top-tier medical education, but they have distinct approaches that suit different learning styles. Here's a comprehensive comparison:

🏥 HKU Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine:

• Learning Style: Encourages more self-learning through problem-based learning (PBL) and senior support
• Campus Location: Medical faculty is located further from the main campus, making it harder to participate in general university activities
• Clinical Training: Strong emphasis on early clinical exposure and research opportunities
• Admission Requirements: Typically requires 4 A-Level subjects including Chemistry, Biology, and Physics for our medical preparation courses

🏥 CUHK Faculty of Medicine:

• Learning Style: Provides more structured guidance throughout learning with comprehensive support systems
• Campus Integration: Better integration with non-medical peers and university-wide activities
• Community Focus: Strong emphasis on community medicine and public health
• Preparation Tips: Our intensive courses help students excel in the competitive non-JUPAS application process

💡 Expert Tip: As a current HKU medical student, I recommend visiting both campuses and speaking with current students to understand which environment suits your learning style better. Our free consultation can help you prepare for either pathway.

International A-Level (IAL) is a globally recognized qualification developed by Pearson Edexcel, offering students worldwide access to top universities including those in Hong Kong, UK, USA, Canada, and Australia.

📚 Key Features of IAL:

• Global Recognition: Accepted by over 9,000 universities worldwide
• Flexible Structure: Students can take AS-Level (Advanced Subsidiary) in Year 1 and A2-Level in Year 2
• Subject Choice: Wide range of subjects including Sciences, Mathematics, Economics, and Languages
• Assessment: Combination of coursework and final examinations

🇭🇰 IAL in Hong Kong Context:

• Non-JUPAS Route: International students and those not taking DSE enter Hong Kong universities through the non-JUPAS application system
• University Requirements: Most programs require 3 A-Level subjects, while medicine requires 4 subjects (typically Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Mathematics/Further Mathematics)
• Competitive Edge: Our IAL intensive courses have helped over 50 students achieve A*/A grades for successful university admission
• Subject-Specific Requirements: Programs like mathematics and engineering often require specific subjects and may include admission tests

💡 Pro Tip: Starting early with structured preparation is crucial. Our IAL courses are designed to maximize your potential in just 10 intensive hours per subject. Book your free consultation to create a personalized study plan.
