It takes more than just excellent academic results for your kids to excel in university. They’ll need to pick the right course, one that not only aligns with their career aspirations, but their interests and strengths as well. Once these have been identified, they’ll have to put together a strong application to secure a place in their dream university and course.
Sounds challenging? The educators at North London Collegiate School (Singapore) know that planning for university can be overwhelming, which is why the school has designed a comprehensive University and Careers Guidance (UCG) programme to prepare its students for this pivotal stage of their lives.
More than just a university preparation programme

Now, NLCS (Singapore)’s UCG doesn’t just help students narrow down universities and courses that are the right fit for them. The school’s educators actually provide personalised support to each student from as early as Grade 9 (14 years old). The best part? Parents are involved in the process as well, so you’ll be aware of your kids’ options and are able to support them when they’re making important decisions about their future.
Grade 9 students will be introduced to the concept of career exploration, followed by university choices, education systems around the world, and academic goal-setting. This allows students to take charge of their academic journey and start planning the extra curricular activities that align with their dream course and careers. Starting the process early also makes university applications less daunting.
NLCS (Singapore) has a dedicated Oxbridge programme too

Does your kid have big dreams of studying in the top universities around the world? You’ll be happy to know that NLCS (Singapore)’s UCG has an Oxbridge programme that caters to that as well! This programme offers specialised support to help students meet the rigorous requirements set by prestigious universities.
On top of counselling and guidance that’s offered to all students, those who opt into the Oxbridge programme will have access to test preparations, mock interviews with faculty members across NLCS’ family of schools, and feedback on application materials. Most importantly, students will get valuable insights into what top universities like Oxford and Cambridge look for in applicants.
NLCS (Singapore)’s students have been accepted into leading universities around the world
Don’t just take our word for it – NLCS (Singapore) has seen a significant increase in university offers received by their students since the beginning. All three of its graduating cohorts have been accepted into universities from around the world, such as the University of Cambridge, King’s College London, University of California, Berkeley, Boston University, the University of Melbourne, the University of Hong Kong, and more.
The secret behind its students’ success lies in the individualised approach that NLCS (Singapore)’s UCG team takes. Besides achieving flying colours in their examinations, its students demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving skills in their applications, setting them apart in the university admissions process.
