UK Post Cut-Off Bootcamps

One-day, intensive online programmes that fast-track students through key UCAS components—Personal Statement, Admissions Test or Interview—when they approach deadlines with limited preparation time.

A 5-hour group session that moves students from no draft to a strong UCAS personal statement through lectures, sample reviews and three guided writing workshops.

Admissions Test Bootcamp

A 5-hour course featuring test-specific technique instruction, a brand-new proprietary mock exam and a detailed review to boost scores for Oxbridge-style tests.

Interview Bootcamp

A 5-hour workshop including interview theory, reading discussions and two hours of brand-new question practice to sharpen Oxbridge/Medicine interview performance.

UCAS

The United Kingdom’s centralised university application system; hosts the personal statement and transmits applications to all chosen universities.

A 4,000-character essay within UCAS that showcases an applicant’s passions and suitability; even more crucial for 2026 starters due to new UCAS question format.
