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. Based on this, you may be offered a place if there are spaces remaining in the cohort.
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 Cambridge Philosophy Programme? You might just find the answer here. If not, you can always reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help!
Do you really offer "unlimited tutoring"?
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 Cambridge application process, including the Personal Statement, PAA, interviews and general advice relating to topics like college selection and wider reading.Â
Why are there limited places available?
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.
Does Oxford offer a Philosophy course?
Oxford does not offer a single Philosophy course, with it instead being offered alongside other subjects. Therefore if you want to study just Philosophy then Cambridge will be the choice for you.Â
If you are interested in studying Philosophy at Oxford, check out our PPE and PPL Premium Programmes to find out how we can support your application.Â
What Intensive Courses are part of the Philosophy Programme?
As part of the Philosophy Programme, you will have a place on the Personal Statement and Interview Intensive Courses.Â
Who has to sit the Philosophy Admissions Assessment?
All applicants are required to sit the Philosophy Admissions Assessment (PAA); you will receive expert one-to-one tuition to ensure you achieve the best score possible.Â
How do I decide what written work I should submit with my application?
Your tutor will be on hand to help you decide what written work to submit as part of your application – the college you are applying to will also let you know what sort of work it should be.Â
Where do I find UniAdmissions' reading lists?
As with all the materials that form part of your Programme, you will find the reading list on the Preparation Portal under the ‘Extras’ tab.Â
