Oxbridge Entry Courses

When MPW first started in 1973, A level retake courses provided the bulk of the work that we did, and Oxbridge coaching the rest. Those were the days when you had to sit formal entrance examinations for Oxford and Cambridge - examinations that you took here at MPW.

Now that the entrance examination has been abandoned, our Oxbridge preparation programmes are focused on the interview, on your wider reading, on work that you might send the universities and on the short written tests that you are required to take for some honours schools when you go up for interview.

About half of the many pupils that we help each year are external to MPW. Over the past four years, just over one in three has been successful in being offered a place at Oxford or Cambridge.

We offer specialist subject coaching on a one-one tutorial basis and formal mock interviews. Please phone us or email us with your initial requirements in the early Autumn and we will get in touch with you by return to discuss the best way forward.

MPW also publishes a guide book on Oxbridge Entrance.
