University Destinations

Last year, over 40% of our graduates went on to study at their top choice universities. Top ranking university destinations amongst the 2020 cohort included UCL, the National University of Singapore, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Toronto, and UC Berkeley. Popular destinations for last year’s graduate class included the University of British Columbia, Durham University, the University of Amsterdam, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the University of Leeds. 

As of April 2021, our current Year 13 students have comprehensively received over 250 university offers to the UK alone. Some of our top offers are to the University of Cambridge, Stanford University, Imperial College London, UCLA, and the University of Toronto. We are still waiting to hear back from many universities regarding admission decisions, but we are hopeful that top-ranking offers will continue to roll in.
