Featuring a sustained contact programme and in-person summer residential, you’ll be taught by Oxford academics and explore subjects aligned with your academic interests.

We'll also support you to make a strong university application to a course at Oxford or elsewhere.

Applying is quick and simple – just register and fill out the form on the UNIQ website. It shouldn’t take you more than 15 minutes. Before you apply you should check that you meet our eligibility requirements and browse carefully the 30+ courses on offer to decide on your first and second choice.

Applications close on 13 January 2026. You can find out more about the programme and selection criteria on the UNIQ website (https://t.co/gddBDIEWrN) and by following us on Instagram (@OxfordUNIQ).
