Aim for Oxford is a University access scheme for young people in the North East of England organised by Oxford for North East (Christ Church, St Anne's and Trinity Colleges)
What is the programme?
Aim for Oxford offers the opportunity to explore subjects with university researchers, experience academic and social life at Oxford University, receive expert advice on how to apply and be supported throughout the process.
The programme is completely free for Year 12 students attending state schools in the North East of England (Darlington, Durham, Gateshead, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Newcastle upon Tyne, North Tyneside, Northumberland, Redcar and Cleveland, South Tyneside, Stockton on Tees and Sunderland).
Applications for our fourth cohort will open in October and will close in November 2023, with teacher references due a couple of weeks later.
We aim to contact all applicants with the outcome by early December 2023.
We expect to hold a series of four academic enrichment, information and guidance sessions across four Saturdays between January and April 2024, followed by a four-night summer school at Oxford University (late August 2024).
Participants who decide to make applications to Oxford will progress to the Year 13 programme (September 2024 onwards).
