Here at Lift Richmond Park, we are paired with Oriel College at Oxford University, and Homerton College at Cambridge University, and our students benefit from these direct links.
Students can apply for direct experiences at these two world class universities through events and summer schools. Cambridge University Open Days are advertised on their website, as are the Oxford University UniQ and Outreach Events. Places at both universities are highly competitive so students need to apply early for events. The Oxbridge Applications website has some free resources which students can register to access, in order to assist with preparation for an Oxford or Cambridge application.
Homerton College, Cambridge has a few useful links for prospective students: -
Along with these, identified 6th formers have the chance to take part in preparation programmes run by local organisations with a strong history of sending students to Oxford and Cambridge universities.
International applicants
UKCISA is the UK Council for International Student Affairs. If you are a student from overseas, and applying to a UK university, this website may be a source of support for you.
Dental and Medical applicants
Students with a desire to train at Medical or Dental school can find affordable events and courses through Medtalk. Various other organisations such as TheMedicPortal also offer events and courses for a fee. Many medical schools also offer opportunities to students from backgrounds underrepresented at university and in the medical profession.
