What is included in the Oxbridge Classics Programme?

When you enrol on the Oxbridge Classics Programme, you will gain access to a comprehensive suite of unlimited resources and support that will help you write a powerful Personal Statement, improve your CAT or Cambridge Classics Assessment performance and improve your interview technique. The entire curriculum is designed to maximize your odds of being accepted into Oxbridge, making us a unique, unparalleled preparation school that focuses specifically on preparing students for Oxbridge.

What we do works.

Your Oxbridge Classics Programme provides everything you will need to prepare for your application and get your dream Oxbridge offer.

Firstly we will help you make the right decision regarding course and University choice.

Whether this is through a meeting with our Academic Director or by arranging sessions with tutors from Oxford and/or Cambridge in your considered subject areas. We will help you come to an informed conclusion on one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

You will receive a full introduction to your Programme by your Programme Team, along with your tutor, Form Mentor and our Academic Director. Throughout your time with us, they will be here to help.

Take part in engaging, one-on-one tutoring from a top-performing Oxbridge Classics expert who achieved a top 10% ranking in their class. You’ll have access to as many of these sessions as you want throughout your programme. 

Your tutor will accommodate your learning style and tailor your sessions to your specific needs and abilities, helping you build the critical skills necessary for acceptance into Oxbridge.

Limitless, honed in one-to-one support with your expert Classics Oxbridge tutor – all with homework and reports.

Gain access to our specially curated library of titles that provide expert techniques, helpful tips and successful examples. All of these titles are selected from our collection of over 100 highly-rated books.  

You will also have access to the UniAdmissions Academy, our realistic CAT Mock Papers and the UniAdmissions Reading Lists – created exclusively for our students.

Finely-tuned Classics resources in a range of mediums to help you practice and learn for your application.

Attend a series of immersive full-day Intensive Courses that provide application support from Oxbridge Tutors with experience in the application process.

The courses are incredibly interactive and offer plenty of opportunities for you to have discussions and pose questions to your instructor both in group sessions and in individual one-on-one discussions.

Highly effective one-day courses that cover key components of your application, including your Personal Statement and Interview.

If you’re looking for guidance on your wider reading, which is a key component of your Oxbridge application, then our Enrichment Seminars are the perfect place to start.

These sessions will introduce you to a range of subjects outside your standard curriculum, encouraging you to delve further into your interests and showcase them in your Personal Statement and Interviews.

Develop a deeper understanding of your subject and go beyond your curriculum, as you would at Oxbridge.

Every student will receive supplementary assistance from their designated mentor – a senior tutor.

Your Mentor will be there to support you with complex areas of your application and will assist you in any areas of difficulty throughout their programme. This could be (but is not limited to) support navigating the UCAS system, identifying and securing relevant work experience, and guidance on letters of reference.

You’ll be assigned an academic mentor for guidance and will be able to contact them whenever you require.

The UniAdmissions Portal is your link between all of the support and resources offered in your Programme and you. You’ll find everything included in your Programme available in your personalised Portal account.

As a student this is your Programme Hub. With monthly updates, you’ll stay in the loop and never miss a step in your preparation. Stay informed about tasks, important dates and your progress, and be confident that you’re always on the right path!

You’ll get access upon enrolment to a Programme.

A personalised online platform which will guide you through your Programme as a student, or help you track your child’s progress as a parent.

Students applying more than 12 months ahead of time will have access to our Head Start seminars, which are geared toward students who are in the early stages of the application process. These seminars provide a solid foundation for your future education and allow you to fully benefit from your UniAdmissions Programme.

Sessions are created specifically for our Head Start students and focus on topics that help establish a solid foundation for your education and teach valuable life skills.

You will get 12 additional hours of individual support through the Head Start Programme.

You’ll gain skills and a deeper subject knowledge that will hugely bolster your upcoming application.

Students on our Head Start Programmes will get additional hours of one-to-one tutoring time along with their Head Start seminars.

Students applying more than 12 months in advance will get access to our Head Start History seminars, which are targeted at students earlier in their application process.

We are a private selective Oxbridge preparation school.

Our mission at UniAdmissions is to get every single one of the students we work with each year onto their chosen course at Oxford or Cambridge. Every student applying to study on our Programme goes through an initial assessment with our Admissions team. This is a 30-minute consultation (free of charge) where our team assesses your viability.

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

ACADEMIC PROFILE

Whether you have the right academic profile to be realistically considered by Oxford or Cambridge university.

WIDER PROFILE

Whether you have begun to demonstrate the kind of interest that is looked upon favourably by admissions tutors.

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 Full-Blue Oxbridge Classics Programme? You might just find the answer here. If not, you can always reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help!

Yes, we do! Each of our students can book as many one-to-one tutoring sessions as they wish for the duration of their UniAdmissions programme. These sessions can be used to cover any area of the Oxbridge application process, including the Personal Statement, admissions tests, interviews and general advice relating to topics like college selection and wider reading. 

At UniAdmissions, we’ve guided hundreds of students to Oxford and Cambridge for more than a decade, achieving success rates over three times the national average. To maintain this, we implement the Scholar Limit, restricting programme admissions to ensure every student receives the high-quality teaching and support they deserve. While we support more applicants each year, the Scholar Limit ensures we uphold our standards and maximize students’ chances of success. If capacity is full, you can enrol early for the next cohort, securing your spot at the current fee and gaining immediate access to the UniAdmissions Portal and its resources.

Alternatively, you can join our waitlist or apply for the Fellows Programme, which allows you to start anytime with added benefits.

If you are applying for a three-year course at Cambridge you will have to do a 60-minute translation exercise, whereas if you are applying for a four-year course you will have to do a 20-minute language aptitude interview. 

As for Oxford, four of the six courses require the Classics Admissions Test (there is no Admissions Test for Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, and Ancient and Modern History requires the HAT). Classics and English, Classics and Modern Languages, and Classics and Oriental Studies all require a second Admissions Test as well. 

With the Oxbridge Classics Programme, you will have a place reserved on the Personal Statement and Interview Intensive Courses. 

Yes! We would actually encourage you to do this, and your tutor will help you work on the pieces for you to submit. 

At the end of each of your sessions, your tutor will provide you with some homework to complete ahead of the next session. This allows you to guide the sessions by identifying your strengths and weaknesses, so the tutor can focus on them – much like a real supervision/tutorial at Oxbridge.
