At YCYW, each graduating class has its own unique story to tell.
The Class of 2025 demonstrated commitment, resilience, and curiosity during their journey of applying to universities. We take great pride this year in recognising the academic success of our graduating students and the outstanding results they have achieved because of their broad ambitions and diverse interests.
Offers from Leading Global Institutions
Once again, our students have thrived in an increasingly global academic environment. They have received offers of admission from a wide range of renowned institutions around the world. We are pleased to report that members of the Class of 2025 received offers from some of the most prestigious research universities in the UK, such as the University of Oxford, University College London, Imperial College London, and the London School of Economics and Political Science.
In addition, some of our students received offers from leading liberal arts colleges in the US, such as Middlebury College and Occidental College, which are known for their commitment to holistic education and nurturing intellectual curiosity.
Moreover, our students have been admitted to many other prestigious universities across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Examples include: the University of California, Berkeley; the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA); New York University; Emory University; Boston College; Northeastern University; Boston University; University of Toronto, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST); The University of Hong Kong, and Australian National University. These admissions reflect the academic excellence of our students and their adaptability.
Students interested in art and design or in the performing arts have gained admission to internationally renowned institutions in these fields, such as the Rhode Island School of Design, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Parsons School of Design, School of Visual Arts, as well as top schools for performing arts, such as the Juilliard School and the Royal College of Music.

Diverse Academic Interests
A striking feature of this year's graduating class is the remarkable diversity of their academic interests. Students have applied to programmes spanning the arts, sciences, business, engineering, social sciences, humanities, and emerging interdisciplinary fields. Whether pursuing Fine Arts or Computer Science, International Relations or Fashion Design, our graduates have shown the courage to follow their passions and explore new paths.
This diversity extends beyond their choice of disciplines and majors. Many students have chosen international destinations or have opted for joint or dual degree programmes, demonstrating their global perspectives and their desire to embrace new opportunities. Moreover, our students have been increasingly drawn to interdisciplinary fields, such as Environmental Geoscience, Data Analytics, or Interaction Design, which combine traditional knowledge with new approaches to address contemporary challenges.

Preparing for Diverse Futures
The range of majors that this year's class will pursue indicates the diverse career paths that our graduates will follow—spanning careers in design, entertainment, technology, education, healthcare, policy and other fields. Some are embarking on professional training in performing arts or music; others are starting research in science and engineering; while others are entering programmes that combine business acumen with international perspectives.
By choosing both traditional and emerging fields of study, often in interdisciplinary fields, our students are positioning themselves for success in a rapidly changing world.
As the Class of 2025 prepares to take their next steps beyond YCYW, we celebrate not only where they are going, but who they have become. Each offer of admission that they have received represents years of growth and learning—a journey made possible by personal commitment and the support of a caring community. It is this spirit of encouragement and support that empowers all students to discover their strengths and pursue their dreams.
We congratulate the Class of 2025 for all they have achieved so far. We look forward to their continued development and their future contributions to society.
