If you are a parent or teaching professional, please help spread the message of UNIQ. If you know of a student that did well in their GCSE's and got a good selection of A* grades (4 A*'s is the preferred minimum) then do make them aware of this opportunity especially if they are eligable for our 2016 schools. Applying is very straightforward & we will have comprehensive advice on this website to help.
From the Outer Hebrides to Penzance - we have had students attend UNIQ from all across England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Island and we are very keen to see applications from students that have never considered Oxford before.
