As we reach half term, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the exciting next steps our students are taking. We’re especially delighted to share that ten of our students have received offers from Oxford and Cambridge – a fantastic achievement! Six students have been offered places at the University of Cambridge to study Medicine (2), Mathematics (2), English, and History, while four have secured offers from the University of Oxford for Biology (2), History & Politics, and PPE. With acceptance rates for courses like Medicine at Cambridge and PPE at Oxford at around just 15%, this is truly something to be proud of!
Of course, Oxbridge isn’t the only exciting destination. Some 161 students – both current U6 and Old Bristolians – have submitted UCAS applications to over 80 different universities, choosing from an incredible 675 courses. Offers are already rolling in from top institutions, including Warwick, Exeter, Leeds, Durham, UCL, Edinburgh, and King’s College, covering everything from sciences and humanities to Animation and Visual Effects, Early Childhood Studies, and Sports Technology. Medicine is another popular path, with seven offers already received and many more interviews coming up after half term.
Beyond the UK, students are applying to universities in the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and the U.S., with one standout offer to study Acting at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, others are pursuing degree apprenticeships in fields like computer science and engineering, supported by our Future Pathways team with CV guidance, cover letters, and interview prep.
No matter the path, BGS is committed to helping each student find the right destination for them. We couldn’t be prouder of their ambition, hard work, and determination—and we can’t wait to see where their journeys take them next!
