Each year we report on the number of students from the College who have been offered places at Oxbridge.  We are very proud this year of the 26 students who have received offers equally shared between Oxford and Cambridge with 13 offers apiece. This figure represents more than 25% of applicants making successful applications which, given the competition for places, is a wonderful achievement and higher than the national average.

Students will be going on to study a variety of degrees from fine art to computer science and economics to English literature.

Principal, Simon Jarvis commented “We are delighted once again with the superb success of students who applied to go to Oxbridge.  Competition for places at these prestigious universities is fierce.  To achieve a success rate of over 25% is phenomenal and a testament to both the talented students and quality of teaching and guidance here at Farnborough.”

Anastasia Cliff who has been offered a place to study psychology at Oxford said “College has been brilliant in supporting me in my application to Oxford, providing advice and support through the challenging admissions process.

Of particular help was the Critical Thinking talk which helped equip me for the test and the mock interview with the Head of Psychology which meant I was able to enter my interview with as much confidence as possible under the circumstances”.
