Does Oundle support pupils with applications to overseas universities?

Yes. Increasing numbers of Oundelians are looking beyond the UK for higher education, and each year around 10% of pupils take up places at universities in North America, Europe, Asia and beyond.

We offer dedicated support for international university applications, helping pupils navigate everything from admissions testing and deadlines to essay writing and college selection. A senior member of the Careers department leads this provision, offering personalised advice on the Common Application, SAT/ACT preparation and the requirements of universities across a range of countries.

Pupils also benefit from regular visits by representatives from leading global institutions, providing insights into student life abroad, the application process, and what universities are looking for.

As with all our university guidance, the support is individual. We work closely with each pupil to help them find a pathway that matches their interests, strengths and aspirations — wherever in the world that may take them.
