Career Fairs!

Career fairs are a great way to get to know more about a university; you meet representatives and quite often students that go to the university, who can provide you with a first-hand account of university life. We recently had two career fairs with local as well as with international universities, where both students and parents alike attended. 

Partnered universities (second edition!)

IHC - International Horizon College is another great partnered university right in the heart of Dubai, in Business Bay. They're partnered with University of Vermont and Rutgers university (which  both have a strong liberal arts program) as well as Symbiosis University in Pune. Want to know more?

Applying to USA?

Its important to know the required standardized testing when applying universities; and if you're applying to USA, then one of the required tests is the SAT (or even the ACT which is just as recognized as the SAT and a great option especially for science students). The SAT is a written exam that consists of three sections: critical reading, math and writing. Its absolutely vital for any student applying to the US to do their SAT/ACT. So what are you waiting for? Go do your SAT today! 

Its difficult to know what you want to do for the rest of your life; you may be good at several different fields and just not know which one to pick for a career path. Which is why Ashiya skills (located in knowledge village) is here to help; they do a series of brain analysis to help you figure out your innate intelligence and based on the results also assist you in choosing a respective career pathway. 

Above are students enjoying a wonderfully informative assembly conducted by IDP - a career counselling facility based in Dubai - talking about how our young minds should go about applying to popular higher education destinations such as the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia.  

Partnered universities!

Wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to travel far for your higher education to places such as Canada, UK or the USA? Well now you don't have to! Partnered universities such as Enderun Colleges (who came in last thursday to talk about their scholarship program as well as what they offer) in the Phillipines are an awesome way to obtain a good, certifiable  degree without having to pay the high living costs and travelling.

Thursday's are for career assemblies!

 Here at Winchester we believe that knowledge is power, and that our students will only make the best decisions for their higher education once they are well-informed and aware of what is it in the world awaiting them. Which is why on Thursday mornings from 7.50 - 8.20 we have career assemblies; during this time people such as  representatives from universities (local and abroad) ,  external career counselors,  representatives from external examination facilities (such as the Princeton Review and IELTS) and/or university students come in to share to our students about their experiences and information regarding various things. So make sure you don't miss Thursdays!
