Elite Applications
Preparing for the world's top universities
Each year a large number of students join the elite application programme to help them prepare for applications to universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial in the UK, as well as the best universities in the USA, Europe and around the world.
These universities are looking for students with excellent grades but who are also able to demonstrate intellectual curiosity and a passion for their subject that goes beyond the requirements of the curriculum. As such it is important that students start their preparation early and understand what they need to do to compete at this level.
Students and families are actively encouraged to engage through workshops, webinars, meetings and activities. The world’s best universities are a real option for proactive, engaged students. We have a proven track record and are building on this success year after year.
