Ai, a Year 13 Student, she'll be attending Parsons School of Design this year.

"The city itself gives off such a unique energy that I resonate with and it made sense that I continue my education there, somewhere I can flourish academically and personally. I'm excited and hopeful that after graduating, I'll be able to use the knowledge and skills I've gained to open my own art business or exhibition space." Ai says excitedly.

Leading colleges search for applicants with a wide range of interests and abilities in addition to academic aptitude and potential. The fact that more than 12 medical program offers have been given out in Thailand and overseas demonstrates yet another strength at Shrewsbury Riverside: encouraging students' strengths to complement their academic pursuits.

One student in particular, Sprite, made history when he became the first student from Shrewsbury to be admitted to Mahidol University's Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, he wanted to pursue a profession in medicine as he wanted to help better people's quality of life - a trait shared with other students that have been offered places at medical programmes throughout the years.



"I'd like to thank my teachers for their guidance and support throughout the A-levels and the Higher Education team for helping during the admission and interview processes." Sprite said with a smile.

Undoubtedly, a significant contributor to the university's ongoing success is the school's Higher Education Team. Every effort is made to pair the right academic programs at universities that best suit each student's needs and goals, and this year, there are wide-ranging options from no fewer than 163 different institutions.

Shrewsbury Riverside's Higher Education team offers Year 12 students what is known as Next Steps, a university preparation programme that comprises three days of activities designed to help students with their applications, including writing personal statements and essays, alumni visits, and logging onto UCAS, alongside this students are given time to reflect on their post-Shrewsbury plans.

"In Years 10-13, we aim to provide students with the knowledge they need to navigate important decisions such as selecting IGCSE/GCSE and A Level combinations and producing challenging lists of possible university destinations. However, the most important piece of advice we can give is that students need to spend time on the areas and subjects which really interest them. Universities want to see a real and sustained commitment to an applicant's chosen area of study." Dominic Mochan, Director of Higher Education shares.
