When your child dreams of going to university in the UK, an image of Oxford or Cambridge might come to their mind. As two of the most competitive colleges in the country, only a select few prospective students will get the chance to stroll the hallowed halls. Holland Park Education works with the best Oxford and Cambridge graduates who will work tirelessly to make sure that your application stands out in the best way possible. Through entrance exam prep, personal statement revision and interview practice, you will apply to Oxford or Cambridge as the strongest candidate you can be.

For admission to Oxford or Cambridge, informally known as Oxbridge to make things simpler, applicants will be asked to sit an Aptitude Test in early November, although this varies between colleges and courses. These written entrance examinations, introduced in order to allow brilliant candidates to shine, are carefully designed to test academic and intellectual potential rather than what has been taught at school.

Our subject specialists understand what Admissions Staff are looking for; we offer structured Aptitude Test Preparation tuition which allows applicants to familiarize themselves with the exams whilst getting feedback from experts on how to stand out.

For those who pass the Aptitude Test, the next stage in an application to Oxford or Cambridge is an interview. Usually held in early December, interviews are probably the most distinctive element of the process. Our experts can explain what interviewers are really interested in and support candidates in preparing effectively.

Mock interviews are an extremely valuable way for applicants to gain insight into the process and push themselves out of their comfort zone; we find that doing this with an unfamiliar subject specialist, rather than a teacher at school, makes the experience far more realistic.
