DSE Not Ideal? There’s Still a Path to University in the UK!

Every year after the HKDSE results are released, many students feel lost — especially those who scored around 10–12 points. But a low score doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road. ?

There is still a clear and achievable pathway to university — through the International Foundation Course in the UK, designed especially for students who may not meet direct entry requirements.


What is a Foundation Course?

A Foundation Course is a preparatory program for international students who want to enter a UK university. It helps you build the academic and language skills you need before starting Year 1 of a degree.

The best part: You’ll receive a Conditional Offer Letter from the university at the same time you start the Foundation Course. Complete it successfully, and move straight into Year 1 of university.


What’s the Cost?

The full tuition fee for this Foundation pathway is only £18,995 — significantly more affordable than other options for overseas study.


✈️ Can I Apply for a UK Student Visa?

Yes! This course is visa-eligible. Students can apply for a UK Student Visa based on their Foundation Course enrollment, allowing them to live and study in the UK with full legal status.


Want a Cheaper Option? Study Online First!

Worried about living costs? You can also choose to complete the Foundation Course online in Hong Kong and only travel to the UK when you’re ready to start university. It’s the most cost-effective way to begin your journey.


Worried About English? We’ve Got You Covered.

If your English isn’t strong enough, we can arrange extra English support classes to help build your confidence and prepare for academic success.


Final Thoughts: A Low Score Isn’t the End

Getting a low score in DSE doesn’t mean your future is over. With the right support and pathway, you can still achieve your dream of studying abroad — and even earn a degree from a UK university!
