Personal Statement Consultation
The Personal Statement is a vital part of any university application, giving students the chance to show real passion for their subject. Our two-hour package is designed to support this long-term process from planning to final polish.
During the Summer Course, students have an initial consultation with a subject specialist to create a clear plan for developing their Personal Statement.
After the Summer Course, they meet with a Personal Statements expert to refine tone and flow and make final improvements ahead of the UCAS deadline.
Admissions Test Paper Package
Two-Mock Interview Package
Students can also add a Mock Interview Package to their Summer Course. A baseline interview during the Summer Course helps students identify strengths and areas for development, which they can work on throughout the autumn. A follow-up interview closer to the real interview date then gives them the chance to apply this feedback, build confidence, and refine their performance.
Mock Interviews are conducted by subject specialist tutors with Oxford and Cambridge interview experience and last 45 minutes: 30 minutes for the interview, followed by 15 minutes of verbal feedback. Students also receive a detailed written report assessing interview content, critical thinking and analysis, interview style, and outlining clear next steps for improvement.
