We accept students onto our exclusive Programmes based upon the following:

ATTITUDE

Whether you are approaching your application and admission to Oxbridge with the right mindset.

TIME COMMITMENT

Applying to Oxbridge takes a significant commitment – if a student cannot commit the time, we cannot work with them.

FAQs

Got some questions about the Oxford History and Economics Premium Programme? You might just find the answer here. If not, you can always reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help!

No, Cambridge only offers History and Economics as separate courses. 

Applicants for Oxford History and Economics will need to sit both the HAT and Section 1 of the TSA. These exams are sat on two different days. 

The HAT and TSA Academies is a set of pre-recorded lectures and videos which take you through the HAT and TSA exams from start to finish. These courses serve as a fantastic starting point for your exam and also provide some more advanced tips.

As with everything else that makes up your Programme, you can find your recommended reading lists on the Preparation Portal under the ‘Extras’ tab.Â
