“Working with UniAdmissions really boosted my confidence around the Interviews and Personal Statement due to feeling more aware of the process, such as what to expect during Interviews and what to include or leave out of my Personal Statement to make it Oxford quality.”
“I was able to secure high marks in the UCAT and BMAT [former medicine admissions test] with the help of the courses, and I felt able to answer the questions in my Cambridge Interview with confidence. I definitely have UniAdmissions to thank for helping me to secure a Cambridge offer – without them, I would have struggled much more.”
We work with a limited number of students each year to ensure we can provide the best support suited for their particular needs.
Our Programmes have a structured syllabus, however, we tweak elements of the syllabus so the student is able to gain the most out of our support.
As we work with a limited number of students, we have a limited number of places available for enrolment on each Programme.
The best way to find out whether there are still places available is by booking a free consultation here or contacting us via Livechat, where our expert Admissions Consultants will be able to advise you further.
We do have ideal start times at points throughout the year, however, the syllabus can be adapted to suit your particular start time if you are accepted onto the Programme. Our Admissions Consultants can help you understand the Programme timeline in your specific case – all you need to do is ask.
First and foremost, we assess whether the potential student has the right academic capabilities and profile to be realistically accepted to study at Oxford or Cambridge.
Secondly, we assess whether the student is capable and willing to put in the time required to create a strong application for Oxbridge.
Finally, we assess the student’s attitude and reasoning behind applying to Oxford or Cambridge. This is one of our most important considerations.
If a student has below-average (but still realistic) grades for Oxford and Cambridge, but the correct attitude, we would consider accepting them onto our Programme. Unfortunately, if the inverse is the case, it’s unlikely the student would be accepted onto the Programme.
