Cogdel School Chengdu graduates have received an extensive wave of offers from Russell Group universities — the UK's association of 24 leading research-intensive universities, often described as the British equivalent of the US Ivy League.
Russell Group Offers
Our students have secured places at institutions including the University of Edinburgh, University of Manchester, King's College London, University of Bristol, University of Warwick, University of Glasgow, Durham University, University of Leeds, University of Sheffield, University of Birmingham, University of Nottingham, and University of Southampton — among others.
Diverse Disciplines
The offers span a remarkable range of disciplines: engineering, computer science, law, psychology, international relations, business management, economics, biological sciences, and more. This breadth reflects something important about Cogdel: we don't produce a single "type" of graduate. Our personalized curriculum — one student, one timetable — means each student develops their own intellectual profile.
What Russell Group Universities Value
Russell Group admissions tutors look beyond A-Level grades for evidence of independent thinking, intellectual curiosity, and subject passion. Cogdel's 8-Dimension Competency Portfolio, project-based learning record, and competition history provide exactly this kind of evidence — giving our students a significant advantage in competitive applications.
Congratulations to every student who has received Russell Group offers. You've earned your place at the UK's most prestigious universities through sustained effort and genuine intellectual engagement.
