Preparing for Oxbridge

BMS hosts an information evening each year to help students in Bedfordshire understand the application process to get into either Oxford or Cambridge universities, what to expect from life at the two institutions and hints and tips on how to complete the application form to provide them with the best possible chance of success.

Speakers from both universities join us along with former BMS students who currently study at one of them. As well as a number of presentations, attendees also have the opportunity to ask their own questions.

In addition, the three Harpur Trust senior schools, BMS, Bedford School and Bedford Girls School, rotate as the host and organiser of Oxbridge mock interviews.
