Annual Conference for Teachers and Advisers 2022

This session will give a brief summary of what the universities of Oxford and Cambridge offer and focus on the application process and our admissions requirements. It will provide detailed advice on how applicants and their teachers or advisers can maximise their chances of success, in a highly selective and competitive system.

This session will explore in depth what admissions tutors are looking for within personal statements and teachers’ references as well as offer advice about how students can best prepare for admissions tests and interviews. We will also give an insight into how applications are processed within the two universities.

Delegates will learn:

• about student life at Oxford and Cambridge
• what a competitive personal statement and teachers reference looks like
• what students can expect from admissions tests and interviews
• how you can support students in engaging in ‘super-curricular’ activities
• how you can aid your students in preparing for an Oxford or Cambridge application
