About This Blog
This blog is a guide for students applying to undergraduate programmes in the natural sciences, engineering, and related fields — covering universities in the UK, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, and beyond.
Posts cover programme introductions, step-by-step application procedures by country, competitiveness analyses for top institutions, and guidance on admission tests like the ESAT (successor to the NSAA), used by Cambridge, Imperial College London, and UCL. NSAA practice questions with instant feedback and worked solutions remain available here as part of the admissions preparation content.
