DSE score of 22 points can go for medical school in Australia!

Admission score differences between Hong Kong and popular subjects overseas

Many students work hard for years striving to pursue their dream subjects. Unfortunately subjects like medicine, health related faculties, and law in Hong Kong are highly competitive with limited placements. Even students with decent DSE scores may not be able to secure a spot in their desired subjects. Emily Yip, Destination Manager - Australia and New Zealand, IDP Hong Kong, has over 20 years of experience in the field. She commented that many students choose to study abroad because they stand better chances to get into popular subjects overseas with the same examination scores. Afterall, overseas universities offered more subjects compared to local universities. For instance, in Australia, the entry requirement for medicine is only 22 points of DSE (best 5 subjects) score. The admission requirements for other favorable health subjects such as physiotherapy, radiology, and occupational therapy are 22 points, 21 points, and 18 points respectively.

What courses are available to train the future YouTubers? For those interested in a video-game related career, they may study gaming related subjects or computer programming.

Being a youtuber or key opinion leader is among the top ten dream jobs in the world in 2024. Education counselors received more enquiries related to becoming a YouTuber. While these emerging occupations may not have a well-defined curriculum, education counselors suggest students to take courses that can equip them with essential skills, building a safety net and creating extensive career development opportunities. If students are aiming to be YouTubers, they can study social media management, creative writing, and photography. Some students love playing video games or dream of becoming esports players, they can study specific esports courses, gaming or computer programming to enhance their relevant knowledge.

Fred Leung, Destination Manager - UK, Canada and Ireland, IDP Hong Kong, is the veteran in overseas education services. He shared some interesting examples. "A student has been fond of shoes since he was a child. When his shoes are worn out, he will try to repair them himself. He even researched the materials used to make shoes. When he approached us with his interests, we proposed various options for him to further his study in mainstream fashion design or specialized shoe design, and we helped him to eventually find out his favorite subject. There is another student who hopes to choose Marine Science as her long term career. We identified the relevant subject and gave her advice to follow her dream. IDP works closely with over 800 overseas institutions and provides more than 180,000 courses for students to apply. No matter how unique the interests or ambitions that the students may have, IDP can find the most suitable subject for them.

The overseas education counselors also serve as emotional counselors to close the gap between students and parents

The popular destinations and subjects for overseas education vary from time to time, but parent-child tensions seem to be there all the time. Emily commented that she takes up the role as an emotional counselor on various occasions. "Providing recommendations for overseas study is relatively easy.  It takes a lot more effort to help students and parents to find common ground. As their advisor, we will first understand the students' abilities and interests, as well as their future aspirations. Meanwhile, we listen to the parents' expectations and reasons for sending their child abroad to study. We weigh in the feedback of both parties and provide the best possible overseas education recommendations from a professional perspective. We always explain the pros and cons to both parties." Once we have students and parents with different opinions and plans for overseas education. Instead of meeting with us together, they choose to communicate individually with our counselors. In the end, we facilitated the discussions between them. Eventually they agreed to our proposal and the student went to study abroad as planned.
