Mapping a successful pathway to a bright and sustainable future
The process of gaining entry to a UK university will differ for those who study in the UK and those whose education has been undertaken abroad. For top-tier selective universities, it is highly desirable that the student is studying for A-Level or for an IB certificate.
The best support can be provided to a student who approaches Oxford Education Enterprises at least 1-2 years prior to the proposed entry to a UK university to allow proper preparation for the formal entry procedures and to facilitate better chances for success.
FOR A-LEVEL/IB STUDENTS, THE TIMELINE IS AS FOLLOWS:
We invite you to contact us to begin the process, so that we can learn about the student's background and receive all necessary documentation.
We will organise an academic assessment to evaluate the student's academic performance through tutors’ reports and predicted grades
We will identify a range of potential courses and universities where the student’s academic aspirations will be matched
We will help with UCAS registration, editing of Personal Statement and provide ongoing academic support, including specific examination preparation/interviews (Oxbridge)
