Mr John Liu, Head of Careers and University Guidance and Student Development of YCYW, and Mr Daniel Kang, YCIS Shanghai Puxi Careers and University Guidance Counsellor and YCYW Korean University Specialist, recently completed a productive tour of top universities in South Korea.
Their itinerary, from 3 February to 7 February, included visits to Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Sungkyunkwan University, Hanyang University, Kunkook University, Kyung Hee University, Chung-Ang University, Yonsei University, KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), and Seoul National University.
These strategic visits have been instrumental in strengthening YCYW's relationships with these esteemed institutions. By engaging directly with university representatives, Mr Liu and Mr Kang advocated for YCIS and YWIES applicants to these universities, and explored avenues for further cooperation. This initiative has not only enhanced existing relationships, but has also opened doors for future academic opportunities and joint programmes.
As a testament to YCYW effective guidance, many students have gained admissions to these prestigious universities in recent years. Last year, YCIS students were admitted to KAIST, Yonsei University, Chung-Ang University, and Sungkyunkwan University for medicine. These accomplishments highlight the strong support system and the rigorous preparation YCIS provides its students, ensuring that they are well-prepared to excel in competitive environments.
During their visits, Mr Liu and Mr Kang learned about the latest updates on university applications for the current year. Mr Kang will be particularly excited to share these insights with YCYW students and their parents in the coming months. This knowledge will empower applicants with up-to-date information, enhancing their chances of successful admissions.
YCYW looks forward to welcoming representatives from these universities to its schools and fostering a vibrant exchange of ideas and opportunities. YCYW schools are committed to continuing the mission of providing exceptional educational pathways and supporting students in achieving their academic aspirations.
The proactive engagement of YCYW's leadership and Careers and University Guidance Counsellor with leading universities in South Korea not only strengthens international ties, but also significantly benefits the students. These efforts underscore YCYW dedication to fostering academic excellence and expanding global opportunities for its students.
