Mr. Matthew Lloyd, representing the University of Manchester, encouraged our pupils to look beyond university rankings and focus on what truly matters when choosing a path. He challenged them to start with three fundamental questions: <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do I want to go to university? What would I like to study? And where would I like to live?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lloyd provided actionable advice on navigating the UK application process, emphasising the importance of examining course structure, placement opportunities, and university life. Most importantly, he urged students to maintain an authentic personal voice throughout their personal statements.<\/p>\n<h4><b>Connecting and Exploring<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Following the opening talks, the University Fair truly came to life. Pupils moved between booths, speaking directly with university representatives. This was a chance to dig deep into specific entry requirements, compare programmes, and ask tailored questions about their own unique interests and aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>The event concluded with an insightful session by Professor Pui Hong Chung, Assistant Dean (Health Sciences Programmes &amp; Admissions) at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong. He offered a fascinating look at the breadth of opportunities within health sciences, illustrating how fields ranging from public to global health can open doors to diverse and impactful careers.<\/p>\n<h4><b>A Journey, Not a Destination<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/malverncollege.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/University-Fair-2026_-Low-Res-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4729\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">More than simply choosing a university, the goal of the event was to help our pupils ask better questions, explore their passions, and feel empowered to make informed choices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Reflecting on the importance of this guidance, Mr. Terence Yau, Associate Director of University &amp; Careers Guidance, shared:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Navigating university and career pathways is about paving the next stage in the journey of life. It is certainly not about finding a final destination as we are firm believers in lifelong learning at MCHK. We can view the stage of tertiary education and the early stages of our careers as a &#8216;steppingstone&#8217; for personal, intellectual, and professional growth.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guided by our school motto, Sapiens qui prospicit (&#8220;Wise the one who looks ahead&#8221;), the MCHK University Fair 2026 directly supported this process. By connecting Hundred and Sixth Form pupils with university admissions representatives, the fair helped clarify admissions requirements, course details, and offerings by universities. It expanded our pupils&#8217; horizons through active dialogue and empowered them to chart a personalised path forward with confidence.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--[gallery size=\"medium\" ids=\"4731,4729,4730\"]--!>\n\nWe would like to extend a sincere thank you to Mr. Matthew Lloyd, Professor Pui Hong Chung, and all our visiting university representatives for sharing their time, knowledge, and expertise with the Malvern community. We look forward to seeing our pupils continue to chart their unique paths forward with this newfound clarity and confidence.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>23 September 2026 | BLOG Author: Malvern College Hong Kong &amp; Mr. Terence Yau (Associate Director of University &amp; Careers Guidance) Exploring possibilities.
