Increasingly, getting good A-level results is not enough for young people to get the places they want. Going beyond the core requirements of exam results to seek out the wider enrichment of a host of activities gives students an undeniable advantage in their applications, as well as being valuable in and for themselves. Higher education was built on a foundation of curiosity and commitment and this is something we excitedly look for in each influx of students.
With global competition growing for sought-after places at high-ranking universities, excellent academic results are essential. However, in addition to achieving high grades, young people must perform well in all aspects of the application process, showing their passion for the subject and what they have gained from extended reading and other subject-related enrichment and extra-curricular activities.

What are world-class universities looking for?
World-class universities are committed to selecting students with the highest academic potential, regardless of their nationality or background, by taking into account their academic results, personal statements, admissions tests required for certain courses, and interview.
When assessing potential applicants, universities are looking for students’ motivation and ability to apply their minds and deal with new concepts, rather than their ability to recall facts.
We want a sense of your ability to think analytically and critically in an academic setting.
Beyond test scores and grades…(we look for) character and leadership.
