Why It Matters

Transforming Prospects

Your chance of winning a place at one of Britain’s most prestigious universities should not be determined by wealth or geography. Every student should be given a fair shot at achieving their dreams, with talent and hard work being rewarded by a system which gives everyone the opportunity to succeed. However, within the UK education system there exists an uneven playing field which deprives talented students of advantage and opportunity. For many state school students, the barriers to success can seem all too real.

Access Oxbridge is changing that. We connect state school students with a network of Oxbridge mentors to help those students win places at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. With our anytime-anywhere virtual mentoring service, our students receive one-on-one tuition from a current Oxbridge student studying their desired degree course. By extending the benefits of ongoing mentorship through cutting edge digital technology, we help aspiring students beat the odds without spending a penny.

From Pipe Dream to Reality

This whole process has not only given me so much information and advice on applying to Oxford but also the confidence to feel like I could actually succeed. What at first seemed so unreachable and alien was made something closer and more achievable; what once seemed a pipe dream turned into a realistic goal and now a reality.

Achieving My Engineering Dream

Access Oxbridge enabled me to connect with a mentor who helped me prepare for the Cambridge application process. At first the interview process seemed like a scary process to go through, however they helped me be well prepared and stay calm throughout. Their experience and willingness to support have enabled me to achieve one of my dreams.

I Applied On The Bus and Won Big

I remember applying to Access Oxbridge on the bus home from school, and never thought that a couple of months later I'd have received an offer from Oxford University! Despite being from a good state school, I'm the first person to receive an offer in two years and the only one in my year group to get a place. It feels so surreal!

It All Started on Instagram

I happened to stumble across the Access Oxbridge Instagram account and this introduced me to resources that my Welsh state school, who had not sent a pupil to Oxbridge in over ten years, could not provide me with. I was put into contact with an array of amazing mentors who gave me written work, personal statement, interview and general advice. Without Access Oxbridge I would have struggled immensely - I now hold an unconditional offer to read History at Jesus College, Oxford.

I Gained An Offer & A Friend

I'm the first person ever to study at Oxford from my college and I am only the second person to go to Oxbridge. Despite the application process now being over, my Access Oxbridge mentor still keeps in touch, having offered advice when I applied for work experience and scholarships. From this process not only have I gained an offer from one of the best, if not the best, unis in the world (something I wouldn't have even dreamed of a couple of years ago), but I have also gained a friend.
