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

Every tuition session in your Ancient and Modern History Programme provides valuable one-on-one time with an experienced tutor who will navigate the subject matter with you.

UniAdmissions offers you access to a vast library of over 100 published books covering all aspects of the Oxbridge application process, including subject theory, practice materials, and additional resources.

These seminars extend your exposure beyond the standard curriculum, precisely aligning with Admissions tutors’ expectations.

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

Every student will receive supplementary assistance from their designated Form Mentor.

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.

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.

We accept students onto our exclusive Programmes based upon the following:

ATTITUDE

Whether you are approaching your application and admission to Oxbridge with the right mindset.

No, Cambridge only offers a standard History course. 

Applicants for Oxford Ancient and Modern History will need to sit the HAT. Support for the HAT will be included within your programme. 

The HAT Academies is a set of pre-recorded lectures and videos which take you through the HAT exam from start to finish. These courses serve as a fantastic starting point for your exam and also provide some more advanced tips.

As with everything else that makes up your Programme, you can find your recommended reading lists on the Preparation Portal under the ‘Extras’ tab.
