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

Application Support

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 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

Every session in your History Programme will be with an expert tutor who will walk you through the topic at hand.

The one-to-one sessions are an opportunity to focus on problem areas and topics you find difficult. Your tutor has been through the process with flying colours, so will be able to provide you with the right support and guidance.

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

Comprehensive Materials

UniAdmissions have written and published over 100 books on the Oxbridge application – you’ll have access to all of the relevant books for your application, containing subject theory, practice material, and more.

You’ll also have access to the UniAdmissions Academy, our advanced HAT and HAA question banks and the UniAdmissions History Reading List – unique to students enrolled with us.

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

Intensive Courses

Our full-day intensive courses cover everything you could need to know about your application. Take a deep dive into your Personal Statement, HAT and Interview with a tutor who scored in the top 10%.

These sessions are highly interactive and will allow you to ask any lingering questions to your course tutor both in group sessions and individually.

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

Enrichment Seminars

Wider reading is one of Oxbridge’s notoriously difficult application criteria to fulfil. That’s where our Enrichment Seminars come in.

What this criterion distils down to is showing interest and passion for your subject. From week one of your Programme, you’ll be invited to your subject-specific Enrichment Seminar and you will be exposed to your subject beyond simply what the curriculum teaches – this is exactly what Admissions tutors are looking for.

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

Forms Group & Mentoring

Every student on our Programmes will join a form that is run by a Form Mentor. These mentors run fortnightly sessions in which they support their Form with general aspects of their application and using their resources effectively.

If you are ever struggling with your Programme, you can book unlimited one-one mentoring sessions with your Form Mentor. The Form Mentor is there to make sure each student is giving themselves the best chance of succeeding in their application.

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

Personalised Portal

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. As a parent, you can track your child’s progress through the Programme and receive regular reports.

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.

Head Start Seminars

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.

12Hrs Head Start Tutoring

One-to-one sessions provide a highly personalised form of preparation focused directly on your specific needs. Head Start students receive access to extra hours of one-to-one sessions with their expert tutor to ensure they do not have any weak areas when going into their application year.

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

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.
