"EducationUK are one the most professional and caring education agents that we have the pleasure to work with. Our university has worked with EducationUK for a number of years and have found them to provide honest, accurate and professional advice to the students they counsel. The staff are knowledgeable on both the universities and the courses offered in the UK and by specialising in the UK Education system we believe they are very well-placed to give students up to date information on new developments and courses at our university. They know our entry requirements and will advise students on their choices both realistically and this helps the student to find the best course and university for them.
I would thoroughly recommend students to use their service and UEA if fully committed to support EducationUK for the foreseeable future."

“Education UK are the principal agent in Hong Kong for The University of Edinburgh. Interested students benefit from the attention of a small team of well trained staff who are fully conversant with the academic requirements of this institution. More than this, I think they are one of a select group of agencies who genuinely care about ensuring a good match between student and institution. It is very much a valued relationship built on trust and as such we provide regular training and give priority to applications that come via Education UK. The team provides our applicants with a local point of contact, a place where the can find support throughout the application process from enquiry through to matriculation and for Fresher's through to Post Graduate Researchers. Consequently, I would encourage all students interested in studying in studying in the UK to engage the services of Education UK.”

After being given the results in HKAL Exam results in Year 13, many candidates including me were frustrated for the disappointing results and the studying problem in the university. However, after joining the INTO Foundation (Newcastle) invited by Education UK, with the active help of the tutors and staff of INTO and Education UK, I easily got offers of Economics, Finance and even Actuarial degrees. The efforts by both organisations are significant and cannot be ignored.
Newcastle University is the best choice from all the INTO schools. Firstly, Newcastle is a large city in Northeast England. The climate here is very comfortable. After getting up off the bed in Leazes Parade and looking at the window, a blue sky with white clouds, grasslands and St. James Park are all under my sight. Secondly, the city centre of Newcastle is well designed for students, and is just near the Newcastle University. Plenty of shops are found along the streets in the city centre, and also the large Eldon Square. They makes buying food and household equipment after school much more easy. When you go towards the Millennium Bridge, you can find many bars alongside the river. Moreover, although the drinking culture in Newcastle bars is very popular, and there are many drunk people in the bar areas, I have not seen any abusive behaviour from them. The worst case is only happily laughing and screaming, what you need to do is to anwer loudly and you must not be in trouble. Compatively, Newcastle is a safer city than many other big cities.
The teaching attitude by the tutors in INTO Newcastle is excellent. The vast majority of them answer every quetsion you ask, and are patient and able to bear students' fault. Personal tutor is a helper for the performance of the students in both academic and mental area. He is responsible for meeting you twice a year, but only if you ask for, he can deliver help in individual development and studying via telephone, e-mails and talking face-by-face. Hong Kong students (esp.the HKAL candidates from Year 13 graduates) normally get excellent results in INTO, esp. in the streams in Business and Engineering. Therefore, you do not need to worry for the British Education.
INTO has given many students opportunities in studying in the univerisities in the U.K., esp. when you hope to apply for the Top 20 Universities in the U.K. Newcastle has an attractive scenary, fresh air, and many resort places like grassland and beach. Also, there are many supermarkets like Waitrose, Wilkinson, Sainsbury and Morrison, which are very convenient for students. Also, there are many places nearby for travelling tours like Tynemouth, Metro Centre, Burberry Factory and Durham. As a result, not many people studying here want to go home, instead many of us enjoy the lives of Geordie from the start of the course till the end.
The HKAL exam gives students much pressure and disappointment, which I used to feel. However, if a chance is given to you to apply for famous universities in the U.K. like Durham, York, Bristol, Nottingham, Southampton and Edinburgh, why not give it a try? In addition, most of the Bachelor with Master Degree need only 4 years of finish. Therefore even if you use one more year in Foundation, you can still graduate with other Hong Kong Master students at the same time.
