SEOUL--(Korea Newswire)--Brooklyn International College (Brooklyn College), an international high school based in Toronto, Canada, is excited to announce the launch of its comprehensive preparation program for students aspiring to attend medical schools in the United Kingdom. The program aims to recruit prospective students who intend to apply for medical programs starting in September 2025. Students who have successfully completed grade 10 or have passed the Korean GED for high school graduation are eligible to join the program. Enrollments are open for program start dates in March, September, and December of each year.

Brooklyn International College’s admission offers for universities worldwide over past two years The program comprises mandatory courses designed for grades 11 and 12, as well as extensive preparation for the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), extracurricular activities, and interview training. To be eligible for this program, students must have a minimum of a grade 10 completion with a GPA of 85% or higher and an IELTS academic score of 5.5 or above. Brooklyn College may also administer placement tests for mandatory subjects such as mathematics, biology, and chemistry.

Over the past two years, graduates of Brooklyn College have received more than 340 university admission offers from institutions in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong, all following their attainment of the OSSD. Notable British universities that Brooklyn College graduates have gained acceptance to include University College London, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Manchester, the University of Bristol, and the University of Glasgow.

In addition to preparing students for UK medical programs, Brooklyn College offers guidance and counseling services for students interested in universities around the world following their OSSD attainment in Canada. Prospective students can schedule a counseling meeting with Jennifer Wang by visiting the COEX Conference Room (#327) in Samseong-dong, Seoul, during October 7-8.
