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

One-To-One Tutoring

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

Intensive Courses

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.

Enrichment Seminars

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.

Forms Group & Mentoring

All programme participants will be part of a form group led by a knowledgeable Form Mentor. These mentors lead bi-weekly sessions to help their group with different aspects of the application process and make the most of available resources.

If you experience any challenges within your programme, you can schedule unlimited one-to-one mentoring sessions with your Form Mentor. Their goal is to ensure every student has the best chance of success in their application, so they are ready to provide support for any issues you may have.

You’ll join your Humanities Academic Head’s form group for guidance and unlimited mentoring sessions.

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 Oxbridge Classics 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!

Which Admissions Test do I have to sit for Classics?

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.

What Intensive Courses are included in this Programme?

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

Can I use my one-to-one tuition sessions to decide what written work to submit?

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

What's the point of the post-session homework?

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.
