This academic year we have seen a record number of Lancing students applying to overseas institutions. Students have successfully applied to institutions all over the world, from Australia and the USA to Canada and Europe. Representatives from overseas universities have been returning to visit the College after the long break due to the pandemic and, as the interest in sporting opportunities in the USA grows, we have welcomed to the school representatives of organisations that can support our students with the application process.
Well done to the following Lancing pupils for receiving offers from overseas institutions: Kate B (Economics, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands); Vanessa H (Political Science, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA); Pirachat I (Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Michigan, USA); Christy L (Architecture, Melbourne University, Australia); Leonid M (Business Administration and Law, IE University, Madrid, Spain); Marianna P (Fashion Design, Polimoda Fashion School, Florence, Italy); Emma P (International Hospitality Management, Hotelschool, The Hague, Netherlands); Vasyl S (Social Sciences, McMaster University, Canada); Ryan S (PGA Golf Management, Pennsylvania State University, USA); Claudia W (Music Education, University of Toronto, Canada); Janice W (Veterinary Science, University of Queensland, Australia).

Ryan S writes: 'I have received an offer from Pennsylvania State University to study PGA golf management. The PGA Golf Management University Program provides extensive classroom courses, multiple internships experience (which can be either domestic or international) and opportunities for player development in a four-to-five-year programme to become a PGA professional. Offered at 17 universities worldwide, the University Program is accredited by the PGA of America and allows students to earn a degree in areas such as marketing, business administration, hospitality administration, recreation and park management, providing them with the knowledge and skills to succeed in the golf industry. Students earn a bachelor’s degree in a golf industry compatible major upon program completion, and can also apply for PGA membership. Graduates currently have a 100% employment placement rate.
Mrs Robinson, my tutor Mr Eustace, my Housemaster Mr Atkinson and former Housemaster Mr Grime, the Lancing PE department, my golf coaches and agent and, of course, my parents were all extremely helpful during my Penn State application process.'
