Tap on the cards to see more details about our programme’s components.

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 the Programme Team, along with your tutor, Form Mentor and our Academic Director. Throughout your time with us, they will be here to help.

In each session of your PBS Programme, you’ll work directly with a skilled tutor who will guide you through everything you need to know.

These personalised sessions allow you to concentrate on challenging areas and topics to ensure you’re improving in the most important areas. Your tutor, who has excelled in the process, is well-equipped to offer tailored support and guidance.

Honed in one-to-one support with your expert PBS Cambridge tutor – all with homework and reports.

UniAdmissions have written and published over 100 books about the Oxbridge application – each UniAdmissions student has access to every book necessary books for your application, containing subject theory, practice material and much more.

You’ll also have access to the UniAdmissions Academy and the UniAdmissions Psychology Reading List – fully unique to our students.

Cambridge’s demanding application criteria often include extensive wider reading, which can be challenging to meet. This is where our Enrichment Seminars play a crucial role.

This criterion requires demonstrating genuine interest and enthusiasm for your subject so starting from week one of your Programme, you’ll participate in subject-specific Enrichment Supervision sessions. These sessions offer a deeper exploration of your subject, going beyond the standard curriculum —precisely what Admissions tutors seek.

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

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.

Learn more about our admissions criteria on our UniAdmissions Students page. 

FAQs

Got some questions about the Cambridge PBS Premium Programme? You might just find the answer here. If not, you can take a look on our common questions page or reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help!

No, if you are applying to Cambridge, there is no official Admissions Test for you to take. Some colleges may require you to take a written assessment and/or submit written work so make sure to be aware of this if a college you are considering is one of them. 

The equivalent course to Psychological and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Oxford is Experimental Psychology. While similar in scope, the two courses do differ in certain ways, including the course curriculums. 

If you are interested in studying Experimental Psychology, discover our Oxford Experimental Psychology Premium Programme to learn how we can triple your changes of success. 

Of course, the decision is ultimately yours and yours alone, but your tutor can assist with your decision process by offering up their own opinion.
