The overwhelming majority – 98 per cent – of our 226 Sennockians starting their studies in 2021 are at their firm choice university . In the UK that means that 85 per cent of them are at elite Russell Group universities , including 26 students at University College London , 16 at Durham , 15 at Cambridge , 13 at Oxford , 12 at Edinburgh , nine at Exeter , nine at Imperial College , eight at LSE and eight at Bristol .
However , 23 per cent went international and began their studies at top universities in the United States , Canada , Asia and Europe . The average for other ISC schools is just five per cent .
Forty-two of our students are making themselves at home in top North American colleges , including five to the University of Chicago , four to the University of Toronto ; three to Brown ; and two each to Northeastern , Berkeley , UPenn and Yale . We also have students going to Columbia , Stanford , Dartmouth College , Johns Hopkins , the California Institute of Technology , Wesleyan , New York University and Claremont McKenna , among others . A further nine of our students are entering prestigious universities in Asia and Europe , including Bocconi , Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne , Sciences Po and the National University of Singapore .
This year , 15 Sennockians are on the road to becoming doctors , vets and dentists . Meanwhile , with the IB providing an excellent preparation for interdisciplinary studies , it ’ s perhaps no surprise that 39 Sennockians are taking combined degrees or Liberal Arts programmes in the UK or the US . Fifty-two per cent will study subjects in the Arts and Humanities and 31 per cent will take STEM courses .
