Oxford and Cambridge universities are two of the most prestigious universities in the world

As such, Oxbridge applications require careful preparation and forward thinking if you are to stand out from the competition. 

From the 2025 entry cycle, there will be a new format for the personal statement. This is still very much in the consultation stages, but it is likely that the free text approach will be replaced by a series of questions that students need to answer based around some key themes. In addition, admissions testing is also changing for 2025 entry.

For starters, you need to ensure that you choose the right course if you are considering Oxbridge, and choosing the right college is just as important. 

What’s more, once you have completed the initial application (a challenging process in of itself), many courses at Oxford and Cambridge now require candidates to sit rigorous admissions tests, sometimes subject specific and sometimes more general in nature.
