This Tuesday, October 14th, was a significant day for the Utahloy International School community. We had the distinct honour of welcoming the Director of Admissions, Mr Alan Phua, and the Senior Assistant Director, Ms Ong Hue Sin, from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, who delivered information sessions at both our Zengcheng (UISZ) and Guangzhou (UISG) campuses. In the world of university admissions, where students often travel far and wide to meet with representatives, it is a special privilege when a top-tier institution like NTU brings the opportunity directly to our students.
My name is Janet He, and I am a graduate of the UISZ DSE program for the Class of 2025. I am also a candidate for this year's Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) examination. I chose to take the HKDSE program because I hold a Hong Kong identity card, which allows me to apply to universities in Hong Kong through the JUPAS system. Compared to other international programs, the DSE provides me with a more direct and strategic pathway for further education, especially aimed at my goal of studying in Hong Kong.
