Oxbridge Event - Raising aspirations for Gifted and Talented students

In order to help students reach their full potential, York College is holding a special event on Wednesday 21st April (6.30pm for 7.00pm) for Year 10 & 11 high flying students, and their parents. There is no need to book, just come along to the main reception at York College.

York College runs a range of additional courses and activities, aimed at students who wish to apply for prestigious courses such as medicine or law, or universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, or other Russell Group institutions.

The Sirius Group helps students to develop a broader background knowledge, by introducing them to a range of cultural opportunities and philosophical concepts. Students can become more confident using presentation skills and gain experience of thinking on their feet, through debate and discussion. The aim of the group is to create a stimulating and challenging intellectual peer group.
The Extended Project qualification develops students' independent learning skills and is an excellent preparation for undergraduate research. Not only does it provide additional UCAS points but it is highly valued by universities.

The event on 21st April will give prospective students and their parents an insight into the selection process for prestigious courses and will offer some practical guidance in preparation.
