Our Access Scheme
Our Access Scheme is now open for 2013 applications.
The Access Scheme offers a select number of budding Oxbridge applicants a free programme of support. The Scheme gives students the skills and confidence to reflect their true potential at each stage of the application process, from personal statements through to admissions tests and interviews. We support students by offering practical advice based on years of experience and research.
We strongly believe that all applicants should have access to the information and expert preparation that can help strengthen their Oxbridge application. Each year we support 100 students through this Scheme.
Who is eligible?
All students in receipt of a high, medium or low priority government 16 - 19 bursary (introduced in 2012 to replace EMA) and who are predicted AAA or A*AA at A level (or equivalent) are invited to join our access scheme. If you are unsure as to whether you are eligible for our Access Scheme, please get in touch on 0207 499 2394. Please click here to see whether you are eligible.

The Access Scheme is a wonderful opportunity for people like me, who would otherwise be leaving their futures up to chance. I will always feel grateful to you for helping me realise the dream which I had held for so long.

The value of a degree
If you're concerned by how much going to university is going to cost you now that tuition fees have increased to £9000 at some top universities, there is lots of information online about how much you will have to borrow, and when and how much you'll have to start paying back once you've graduated.
The good news is that the universities will now have even more support for students. If you're concerned about your living costs whilst you're at university, you can use the Student Calculator to work out what everything is going to cost and start budgeting for university.
There are also lots of useful financial tips from current students on how to make your money go that little bit further!

I really appreciated having somebody knowledgeable about the Oxbridge process that I could email or telephone if I had any queries.
