The majority of our students will be looking to progress to a top university, either in the UK or abroad.
Our university and careers guidance will open the conversation about their aims and talents soon after their arrival. We also run a series of activities and events that will bring awareness to a wide range of available future pathways. As the students’ time at Earlscliffe progresses, they will be guided towards building an accompanying portfolio of relevant experiences.
If a student is called for an interview by a university, they will first be given a mock interview at Earlscliffe.
With a strong history in university and careers counselling, Earlscliffe works closely with its sister organisations (Oxbridge Applications, A-List Education, The Medic Portal and The Lawyer Portal) to provide each student with the best chance of success.

UCAS (Universities and Schools Admissions Service) Guidance
Students apply to their choice of UK universities in the Michaelmas Term of their final year.
However, the application process begins when students start at Earlscliffe. We use Unifrog, an online platform, to help students research, plan and prepare for their chosen post-Earlscliffe pathway. In the Trinity Term of Year 12, students are taken off timetable for several different events to prepare for university applications. As with everything at Earlscliffe, a personalised approach is provided for university applications.
Students applying to universities in the UK will submit applications to up to five institutions through UCAS and receive comprehensive guidance from their teachers and Senior Tutor in selecting appropriate courses and universities.
Support is also provided from both Earlscliffe and the Dukes family for students who want to apply to universities outside the UK.
