All the students at Dulwich International High School Suzhou expect to attend universities outside China and we take great care in preparing our students for their university applications. The university application process abroad is considerably more complex than the equivalent process in China; all our students attend classes and workshops that prepare them thoroughly to make informed decisions about the next stage of their educational journey.

Our school is the bridge for our students to the university of their choice and we have a team of expert college and university counsellors to provide our students and their parents with specific careers advice, practical help and support. From the time our students join Dulwich International High School Suzhou, our counsellors work with them on a regular basis to map out an individual plan to gain a place at a university that fits their aims and suits their abilities. Our counsellors spend time with each student and their parents in individual sessions during the application process. Our parents are also provided with support and information so they can be actively involved in the process. We hold various information sessions throughout the year and our counsellors are always available to talk to parents face-to-face on an appointment basis or on the phone. By the end of their Year 12, students will not only have selected their best-fit universities, they will have also gained skills in research, analytical thinking and public speaking.

Furthermore, we bring the universities to our students. Our counsellors have strong links with a wide range of excellent universities around the world and host visits to our school from the admissions officers of almost 100 of those universities throughout the year. Our students are able to spend time with these admissions officers to discuss the courses they offer, as well as to find out general information about the college or university they represent.

The proof of the excellent systematic support our students receive is that our graduating students are successful in gaining admissions to the universities of their choice.

Most of our students go on to attend top research universities, liberal arts colleges, specialty universities and art schools around the world, including Oxford and Cambridge and other universities in the Russell Group in the UK; the Ivy League universities in the US and Canada.
