The event
British Council China would like to invite you to participate in the 2014 China School Tour, which will be held in Qingdao, Beijing, , Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in October and November 2014.
These events are mainly for directly recruiting students from local A-Level or independent Schools. This year, the theme is science and technology subjects. From our experience, the best way to reach out to students at these schools is to provide useful and practical information about life at UK universities. We would suggest each participating university to select and prepare 1-2 topics for your presentation listed below together with a brief introduction of the University.
- The learning and career paths for science subjects
- Tips on applying through UCAS
- How to write a good Essay
- Writing Academic reference in essays or dissertation
