HomeEducation and Learning Checklist with The Times
We’d like to thank you for scanning our QR code on the Time Education and Learning Checklist to find out more about Oxbridge Applications! The Times Education and Learning Checklist provides an essential guide for parents looking to make the best choices available for their children’s education and future, and we are delighted to be featured amongst the high-quality educational services highlighted there. The competition is hotter than ever to get into the universities of Oxbridge and Cambridge, so it’s no surprise that families are turning to the pros to help their children find an edge. At Oxbridge Applications, we have been collecting expertise and experience in helping promising applicants maximise their chances of success since 1999.
Part of the award-winning Dukes Education family, Oxbridge Applications is the global leader in Oxbridge and UK university admissions consulting. We are comprised of a full-time team of Oxbridge-graduate consultants based in the Head Office at Pall Mall, and a wider network of subject-specialists and former Oxbridge admissions tutors. Over the past 24 years, we have supported in excess of 100,000 students from over 120 countries, and are the trusted in-house support to many of the UK’s highest-achieving schools, including Marlborough College, Haberdashers’ Boys' School, Rugby School, St. Mary’s Ascot, Wellington College, Benenden, James Allen’s Girls, and many more.
Our consultants and tutors are all graduates of Oxford or Cambridge university and are passionate about passing on their subject-specific knowledge onto clients through bespoke guidance on every aspect of the application process: from selection of course and university, through the personal statement, to admissions test and interview preparation. Through a rigorous programme of offerings, we tend to triple the success rate of our applicants for any given course - from roughly 18 percent to an average of around or above 50%.
As part of the Duke’s Education Family, we also work closely with our sister company A-List Education, who have been providing specialist support to international students applying to US universities from their London Office since 2012. We regularly work alongside A-List to provide competitive offers for dual support to applicants targeting top universities in both the UK and the US.
In our 24 years of experience, we have found that getting started as early as possible can be the difference between winning and not winning an offer from the best universities in the country; but it can be difficult to know where to begin! Our students’ journeys begin with a Private Consultation, in which one of our senior consultants sits down with a client for a one-hour working meeting to: assess their potential to succeed, advance their application with tailored strategies and next steps, and address all concerns the student (and parent/guardian) may have. Our Private Consultations are conducted in person at our Central London offices - a short walk from St James’s Park and Pall Mall - or online via video conferencing software as befits our clients.
For Times readers, we are offering an exclusive new customer discount code by quoting EL20 for 20% off a Private Consultation, valid until August 2023. Please reference this code when speaking to one of our Consultancy Team.
Our offices are situated next to St. James’ Park in Central London, just off Pall Mall.
We invite potential applicants to our offices for a Private Consultation, taking a personalised approach to your Oxbridge university application. We are also available for virtual Consultations with clients for whom this is more convenient.
Register online and one of our Oxbridge-graduate Consultants will be in touch to arrange your next steps.
