Career Guidance

Career Guidance

At Med High Private School we value our pupils’ expectations and preferences. After thorough conversations with them, we devise an “Action Plan” which we will follow until the day they register for university.  Our pupils nowadays have to make the most important decisions which will shape tremendously their future.  Most colleges and universities set specific subjects as prerequisites in order to study certain courses.  The wrong subject choices at high school level might disallow students to further on studying particular courses they enjoy.  At Med High we work closely and consistently communicate with institutions of higher learning in order to keep our students updated about specific subject choices they need to make.  In addition to that, assistance is provided about any specific Admission Tests that our students will need to take (IELTS/TOEFL – language proficiency, SAT – Aptitude Test, LNAT – Law, BMAT – Medicine and Vet, Portfolio work – Art & Design/Architecture, etc).For the UK universities, assistance is provided with the UCAS application which includes: accurate completion of personal information, personal statement, and reference letters. We supervise the communication flow daily with UCAS and discuss any issues immediately with our pupils. Guidance is also provided about translation and official certification of documents (Apolytirion, High School Leaving Certificate, ID, Passport, etc).  Upon acceptance to university, we assist our pupils with their Accommodation preferences: research into different housing options, presentation and analysis of all alternatives, accurate completion of all paper work, daily communication with Accommodation offices, research into private halls of residence, confirmation of housing agreements/contracts. The next step is the completion of the student loan application and other funding options.  We also research into bursaries and grants that may be offered by the college/university and prepare all paper work necessary to apply for these funds. Similar assistance is offered for applications to private universities in Cyprus and other countries in the world. Services:
