Introduction

Ulink College of Shanghai (领科教育上海校区) is an independent campus in Songjiang District (address: 涞亭南路559号). The school was founded in 2005 and the Shanghai campus later received IBDP authorization in 2018; since 2022 it also runs the SABIS®ULINK programme in partnership with SABIS® International Education. Ulink offers Cambridge (IGCSE and A Level) and IB Diploma programmes and lists a SABIS/US-pathway option; the site shows specific course lists for IGCSE, A Level and IBDP for AY2024–25. The campus is described on the school site as occupying about 100 mu with sports facilities (400m track, grass football pitch, indoor sports hall), libraries and science labs, and the site also gives a dedicated boarding-life page describing on-campus and off-campus dorms. The school site publishes a domestic-bilingual high‑school fee of RMB 90,000 per semester (which would be RMB 180,000 per year if two semesters are counted); overall current total enrolment and a general annual fee range for all international programmes are not published on the website.

The Essentials

ULink College of Shanghai has 1,783 pupils, typical class sizes of 7, instruction in English, Czech.

Location
Ulink College of Shanghai is on a 100-acre campus in Jiuting, Songjiang District — address: 559 South Laiting (Laiting South) Road, Songjiang, Shanghai. The school site says the campus is well equipped and notes good access to Shanghai Hongqiao railway station and several major subway lines, which helps with public-transport commutes.

Stages
The school is a senior/secondary campus offering Cambridge IGCSE and A‑Level courses and the IB Diploma Programme; it also runs a SABIS®ULINK four‑year programme that includes A‑Level/AP options. Entry is typically after compulsory schooling (Grade 9/Grade 10) and the IBDP is for students aged about 16–19.

Type
Ulink College of Shanghai is co‑educational and operates both day and boarding provision; the school's boarding page describes on‑campus and off‑campus dorms and related routines. The school is run by the Ulink Education group (a Chinese private education group).

Country affiliation
The school is a private Chinese school operated by Ulink Education in China and is not presented as being affiliated to a particular foreign country. Admissions information indicates the school primarily serves Chinese national students.

Religious affiliation
No religious affiliation is stated on the school website; Ulink presents itself as a non‑religious, independent international school.

School day structure
The website and the published school profile do not show a daily start/end timetable for lessons on the public pages; admissions information does give semester intake timing (Semester One starts mid‑August; Semester Two starts mid‑February). For exact daily hours, breaks and lunchtime, contact Admissions or the Student Guidance office — they can provide the current term timetable.

Bus service
The school operates boarding with three on‑campus dorms and three off‑campus dorms located about 3 km away (the site notes the off‑campus dorms typically require a ~15‑minute car journey). The campus pages also highlight good access to Hongqiao station and nearby subway lines for day students. The school does not publish detailed public information about school‑bus routes or external bus providers on its site; if you need door‑to‑door bus service, ask Admissions for current routes, providers, costs and pickup points.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Online registration: Families must register through the Ulink Shanghai admissions portal by clicking the “初次报名 / Initial registration” button on the school website and completing the online application form. After submission the system issues a username (mobile number) and password that you will use to log into the student exam system (the school asks you to use those credentials exactly as provided). Parents should confirm the mobile number and ID information are correct in the form—the school uses those fields for identity checks on exam day.

2. Log in and confirm an exam date: After initial registration you (or your child) log in via the “已报名 / Already registered” button and choose an available exam date using the “考试确认 / Exam confirmation” menu. The school publishes multiple exam sessions across the recruitment cycle (spring and autumn intakes) so pick the session that matches your intended start term. Note that exam seats fill per session; if you need a particular date, confirm early and retain the username/password to access the booking page.

3. Exam day requirements and arrival: Candidates sit a written entrance exam (subjects include English, Mathematics and a Science-thinking paper) and must bring the printed admit slip and a valid ID (the school requires correct ID information in the registration system). The school uses facial-recognition to verify identity on arrival, and asks candidates to arrive at least 30 minutes early to allow checks and seating. Bring only the permitted stationery (black pen, 2B pencil, transparent stationery bag) and, if applicable, a calculator for the English-math paper.

4. In‑exam procedures and immediate paperwork: On exam day or the next day the school will ask the student to complete a class‑placement / course‑preference questionnaire (选班问卷). That questionnaire is used to match academic background and course intention (domestic track vs international track) to available classes—parents should review and, if needed, prepare documents showing current grade or curriculum. Make sure the declared “在读课程 / current curriculum” field is correct in the application because it determines whether you receive Chinese or English versions of the exam papers.

5. Interview and timelines: The school releases written‑exam results and the interview shortlist about 4–5 business days after the test; interviews (usually bilingual group formats with speaking and discussion tasks) follow and final decisions are typically posted about 4–5 business days after interview. If your child passes the written test they will be invited to the interview; after the interview the school will notify families of offers and send an official offer/录取通知书. Parents should watch email, the admissions account, and the official WeChat account for those notices (the school stresses relying on official channels).

6. Offer acceptance and payment: When you receive the formal offer and offer packet, the standard next step is to accept the offer and pay tuition/registration per the instructions included in the offer. The school's published materials show specific tuition amounts for some programmes (for example the newly announced domestic high‑school program lists RMB 90,000 per semester), but the full, year-by-year international programme fee schedule is not published on the Shanghai site and can vary by programme and intake—confirm exact numbers with admissions before paying. Keep receipts and confirm the school's payment deadline to secure the place; failure to pay by the deadline may forfeit the offer.

7. Onboarding paperwork and arrival: After payment the school will mail or provide digital enrolment documents and a checklist of required materials for registration/day‑one (medical forms, copies of ID, prior transcripts, etc.). Read the enrolment packet carefully—it lists deadlines for submitting originals and any additional requirements for boarders (if you choose the boarding option). If your child will board, check the separate statements about boarding rules, arrival times and weekend arrangements.

8. Practical notes and appeals: If the student is not accepted into the intended grade the application system includes an option to indicate whether you are open to alternative placement (调剂); selecting this can prompt the admissions team to contact you about other suitable classes. If you have questions about exam papers, grading or placement, contact admissions promptly (the school aims to publish results and follow‑up steps quickly—see the timeline above). For final confirmation of fees, scholarship availability and any policy changes, always check the school's official admissions email/phone because published third‑party fee summaries can become out of date.

Scholarships
Yes — the school's recent domestic high‑school announcement states the campus “will provide generous scholarships for outstanding students,” and the domestic high‑school page lists a tuition figure (RMB 90,000 per semester) alongside that statement. The website does not publish detailed scholarship eligibility criteria, award amounts or the application/selection mechanics for those scholarships on the public page, so parents should treat the statement as an indication that merit awards exist but require direct confirmation. For international programmes (IGCSE / A‑Level / IB) the Shanghai site does not show a full public fee/scholarship schedule; third‑party and other Ulink campus pages show example figures (annual tuition figures for international tracks commonly reported in public sources are in the approximate range RMB 200,000–250,000 per year, with separate boarding/catering and materials fees), but those are not definitive for the Shanghai campus—confirm any scholarship availability, award level and renewal conditions directly with the admissions office. To get exact, up‑to‑date information about scholarship categories, selection criteria, deadlines and whether awards apply at entry or are performance‑based after enrolment, contact Ulink Shanghai Admissions (admission@ulink.cn or the admissions phone numbers listed on the site).

Waitlist
The Shanghai campus does not publish a formal public “waitlist” process on its admissions pages. Instead, the admissions FAQ explains two relevant points: (a) the admissions cycle publishes results and interview lists on a short timeline (written results ~4–5 working days, final results ~4–5 working days after interview), and (b) the application form includes an option about whether the family will accept placement in another year or programme if the student is not admitted to the intended grade (the “是否接受调剂” option). In practice that means the school may contact families who opted in to调剂 to offer alternative placement rather than keeping a named waitlist; if you want to be considered for any later openings contact admissions and confirm you've selected the调剂 option in your application.
