Add-ons
All of our courses comprehensively cover the UK University admissions process through a series of interactive seminars and discussion groups. Our expert team demystifies the application process and help students understand what top UK univerisites—including Oxford and Cambridge—are looking for.
We appreciate that many of our students will be intending to start university next year in October, and so may require additional support as they prepare for their upcoming application. With this in mind, we have developed a range of add-on packages to support every student.
Personal Statement Consultation
The Personal Statement is a key part of any university application and a student’s opportunity to demonstrate passion for their subject. We understand a Personal Statement is a long-term project and we have designed a 2-hour package which guides and supports students through the writing process.
The Personal Statement Consultation Package includes:
During the Summer Course —
A consultation with a Personal Statements expert
A 1-hour consultation with a Personal Statements expert, to plan and discuss the format and flow of your Statement.
After the Summer Course —
A consultation with a Subject Specialist
A 1-hour consultation with a Subject Specialist, to develop and strengthen your Personal Statement in line with what Admissions Tutors are looking for. Further sessions may be arranged, for an extra fee.
Admissions Test Package
During the University Preparation Summer Courses, students will learn more about the Admissions Assessment they will need to take if they apply for their chosen subject through a series of seminars. If they wish, they can add on additional support by purchasing an Admissions Test package.
We have designed and produced Admissions Test papers for every university course, and our Summer Course students may purchase a comprehensive test package at a special discounted rate.
The Admissions Test package includes:
Test Paper
Online portal closely replicating the Pearson Vue test-taking experience
Mark Scheme
Full, worked-through solutions
Question-by-question video walk-through
Each mock test is designed in the style of the real thing, and the package comes complete with an online portal to closely replicate the Pearson Vue test-taking experience, mark scheme, full worked solutions for each problem and a question-by-question video walk-through. These tests cannot be found elsewhere online and are entirely unique, therefore fully replicating the Admissions Test experience for the student.
Two Mock Interview Package
Students attending the University Preparation Summer Courses will spend time learning about Mock Interviews, and what an Admissions Tutor may be looking for on the day. They will have the opportunity to watch some live Mock Interviews and discuss their merits/downfalls in an interactive forum.
Interviews are one of the most important parts of an application and for students making an application this year, a baseline interview in the summer is an excellent way to prepare. A baseline interview allows students to work on their development points throughout the autumn, and a follow-up Mock Interview closer to the time allows them to hone their skills.
Your Two Mock Interview package will be conducted by a subject specialist tutor with Oxford and Cambridge interview experience. Each interview includes:
30-minute formal interview
15 minutes of verbal feedback
a full written report
In the verbal feedback section, your interviewer will discuss how the interview went and points for improvement. The detailed written report which follows explains the content of the interview, assesses the student’s critical thinking and analytic skills, gives notes on their interview style, and explains how they can improve.
