The starting point
Z hoped to study engineering in Hong Kong, while school advice favoured a more conservative shortlist. His A* in physics, A in mathematics and engineering experience offered reasons to look again.
Our support
We focused on subject strengths and evidence from a LEGO engineering project at an HKU summer school. His work on a transmission problem helped demonstrate how his interest in physics translated into engineering thinking.
The next chapter
Z received an offer to study mechanical engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and enrolled.
