The University Pathway programme: A course built around you
The university application process is becoming more and more competitive. To have the best chance of a successful application, one should start early - our results show that the more long-term the support, the better. This is because it gives the applicant the time to delve deep into their subject, going beyond their curriculum at school, and developing the intellectual skills required for application success.
At Doxa, we offer a long-term university application programme focused on Oxford, Cambridge, and other top UK universities. Students can find the application process intimidating, but this programme allows them to fully prepare for each stage, guided by individual Mentors in one-to-one lessons. The programme is tailored to suit the needs of each individual student, increasing their chance of success by 80%, and preparing them for the university academic experience.
In the last application season, students who have taken the programme have successfully received offers for subjects including PPE, Classics, and Biology at Oxford, and Natural Sciences, Economics, and History at Cambridge. We cover all subjects offered at Oxford, Cambridge, and other top UK universities.
Our growing network of over 300 Mentors are current or former students at Oxbridge and other top UK universities themselves.
Course Overview
The pathway programme is at its best as a package of 30 hours, over a period of 6-12 months before the application itself. Each course is based around the Oxbridge tutorial model, allowing the students to develop the intellectual skills which they need to achieve a successful application. It is structured as follows:
Initial Diagnostic: Mentors assess the student’s academic strengths and weaknesses as well as their subject interests to tailor the programme to them.
Subject Exploration: In-depth exploration of the subject, focusing on a few specific areas to specialise in, and helping the student develop the skills that universities are looking for.
Personal Statements: Concept generation, structuring, and proofreading work for personal statements to ensure that they are concise and compelling.
Entrance Tests: Understanding methodology, key techniques, and core principles to ensure optimum performance.
Interviews: Learning how to think aloud and articulate complex ideas and arguments about their chosen subject.
