Under the HKDSE curriculum students are exposed to a wider range of elective subjects, as opposed to being forced into a stream as under the old system. As a result students are expressing an interest in a wider range of subjects than previously. In order to allow UK institutions to better capture the opportunity of increasing demand from career counsellors, parents and students for subject-related information, British Council Hong Kong will launch Study and Career Options events throughout the year.

The event is designed to be a comprehensive information fair for career counsellors, parents and students to explore the specific subject areas in the UK and resulting career options. There will be approximately 7 designated tables for UK institutions, and the seminars will be formatted to have up to two UK institutions delivering a generic presentation on topics related to the subject area, followed by a presentation about the career opportunities for the related subject by a relevant industry employer. Concurrently, we will also run an alumni workshop in the same venue for alumni to share study and subsequent career experience. Between the seminar sessions, the audience will stay at the exhibition area for individual consultations.
