Oxford & Cambridge

The application process for Britain’s two elite universities is lengthier and more complicated than other universities.

There are extended interview and assessment periods – often involving a short residency in your chosen college – during which the University will decide whether to offer you a place, usually based on you’re A level or International Baccalaureate results.

Bonas MacFarlane is experienced in dealing with applications to Oxford and Cambridge and will offer guidance on subject and choice of college. We will also give you advice as to your strategy for getting into the university, whether you make your first choice college or not. In preparation for interview at the chosen college, you may find it beneficial for your child to spend time with a Bonas MacFarlane tutor or mentor with whom they can practice interview technique, as well as hear first hand about the selection process from someone who has experience of Oxford and Cambridge.
