Higher Education Support
Equipped with consistently impressive A-Level results, nearly all Shrewsbury International School Bangkok Riverside students choose to continue into Higher Education at prestigious universities and colleges around the world.
Our team of six Higher Education advisers and two administrative staff, including specialists in UK, US, and Thai universities, is committed to ensuring that Shrewsbury Bangkok students are supported throughout their journey towards university study.
We begin to prepare students from Year 10 onwards for life beyond Shrewsbury Bangkok, in Higher Education and future careers. There is a 4 Year process which includes the delivery of Higher Education lessons through the Learning for Life Curriculum (in Years 10 and 11) and specific lessons in the Sixth Form.
Students in Year 12 and Year 13 receive holistic support in the lead-up to their university applications and public examinations. Students meet with their Higher Education adviser to develop their thoughts and planning for university applications.
Best Fit Model
Our focus is to ensure that all students have the information and advice they need to make choices that are right for them, taking into consideration both their academic and personal profiles. We aim to ensure that the applications our students submit are of the very highest quality.
We value the role that parents have in supporting their children’s university ambitions, and schedule regular presentations and seminars to ensure they understand the options and requirements involved in the university application process. These include Coffee Morning, Fairs, Tea & Topics, and Parents Information sessions.
University Visits and Presentations
Our advisers take part in regular study visits to UK, US, and other major universities and colleges around the globe, meeting with both admissions advisers and Shrewsbury alumni. These visits help our advisers to gather important information and feedback on the application process, and gain insights on the real life experiences of studying at different universities.
Over the years, we have built effective relationships with hundreds of institutions worldwide, which have proved extremely useful for students wanting to know more about their study options.
Every year we welcome Higher Education institutions from across the world to meet with our students in the Sixth Form Centre. These visits provide important opportunities for our students to make direct connections and access specific information and advice from some of the world’s leading institutions, relating to admissions requirements, the courses they offer, their facilities, and what successful applicants could expect from their time at university.
Visits are received throughout the academic year, our preferred timing being either 12:00-12:40 or 14:45-15:30 for universities to present to our students. Students from Year 10 to Year 13 are welcome to attend. If you represent a university or college, and would like to arrange a visit please contact us at sixthformadmin@shrewsbury.in.th
