Applications are now open for Phase II of the 2023 Peterhouse Applicant Support Scheme (PASS23). Applications are encouraged from state school students looking to make an application to Oxford or Cambridge in October 2023, regardless of whether they participated in Phase I of the programme.
PASS23 is an online programme, designed to support students in making an application to Cambridge and Oxford. Phase II of the programme with run from August 2023 to late November 2023. Taking part in the scheme will give students access to:
- Webinars and workshops to support them through the process, providing information and advice from the Peterhouse Outreach and Admissions Team.
- Email newsletters with application advice and subject specific resources.
- Independent research, study or self-reflection challenges which will help students to make each aspect of their application more competitive.
- The opportunity to engage in academic discussions around their subject of interest.
Phase I of the programme covered aspects of university applications including course choice, super-curricular exploration and personal statements. Phase II will cover applications specifically to Oxford and Cambridge, including guidance on admissions assessments and interviews. We encourage prospective applicants to apply even if they did not take part in Phase I.
The scheme is open to state school students starting Year 13 (England and Wales), Year 14 (Northern Ireland) and S6 (Scotland) in September 2023. In particular, this programme is aimed at students on track to achieve at least 3 As at A-Level, or equivalent.
Students in Peterhouse Link Areas (Hillingdon, Nottinghamshire, and Oxfordshire) will automatically be considered. Applications from outside our Link Areas will be prioritised based on widening participation factors including free school meal status, post code data and in-care status.
Applications will close at 23:59 on 21st August 2023. We will aim to let students know by the end of August if they have a place on the programme.
