Oxbridge Preparation Programme

To get started with a UniAdmissions Programme, you will need to speak to an Admissions Consultant. You can arrange this easily through LiveChat, booking a consultation or calling us directly.

At UniAdmissions, we’ve guided hundreds of students to Oxford and Cambridge for more than a decade, achieving success rates over three times the national average. To maintain this, we implement the Scholar Limit, restricting programme admissions to ensure every student receives the high-quality teaching and support they deserve.

While we support more applicants each year, the Scholar Limit ensures we uphold our standards and maximize students’ chances of success. If capacity is full, you can enrol early for the next cohort, securing your spot and gaining immediate access to the UniAdmissions Portal and its resources.

Alternatively, you can join our waitlist or apply for the Fellows Programme, which allows you to start anytime with added benefits.

No, if you are applying to study Biology at Oxford, there is no Admissions Test for you to sit.

No, Biology is only available to Cambridge students as part of the Natural Science Tripos. If you wish to apply to Cambridge, we have a Premium Natural Science Programme available to support you through your application.

As part of your Oxford Biology Programme, you will have a place on the Personal Statement and Oxbridge Interview Intensive Courses.

The recommended reading list for Biology can be found either in your Programme handbook or on the Preparation Portal under the ‘Extras’ tab.

Each Programme begins at the beginning of the month, although you will have access to some materials via the Portal prior to this date if you have enrolled earlier. It is possible to defer the start of your programme to a later month should you wish to do so. 

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. In specific terms, this means you will be aiming to achieve at least 3 As at A-Level, and achieved mainly 8s and 9s at GCSE.

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 converse is the case, it’s unlikely the student would be accepted onto the Programme.

UniAdmissions is committed to giving the very best service to every student. Our talented tutors are the key to the excellent service we pride ourselves on, passing on not only their expertise, but also their enthusiasm to inspire the next generation to succeed.

All tutors are either current senior students, recent graduates or from a professional background. Our selection process ensures only the best tutors work for us, in roles most suited to their skill-sets.

UniAdmissions are committed to providing the highest quality service to you. If you are unhappy with your Programme at any point, you can contact your Dedicated Programme Manager to arrange a new tutor and discuss any issues – we will do everything we can to keep you satisfied.

If you’re still unhappy with your Programme, all of our students are guaranteed by the UniAdmissions Promise, which offers a risk-free trial period in which you can cancel your programme with a full refund if you meet our Terms and Conditions.

The Programme Portal is where you will find all of the support and resources for your Programme.

You can think of the Portal as the hub of all the materials included within your Programme. If you are ever looking for a relevant book, an online course, course dates or anything along those lines, the Portal is very likely to be your answer.

You can also use the Portal to get in touch with our team at any point.
