You want to be able to approach interview questions and your TSA essay with utter confidence. Not a doubt in sight.
For this, you need:
With these 4 skills under your belt, you’ll be able to impress the admissions tutors by creating an essay or producing an answer which hinges on economic or political insights from all the thinking you’ve done about them.
Examples of topics
The below are just some examples of topics we’ll be covering with you. In reality, we’re likely to change things up a bit, according to the current affairs stories at the time.
The sessions will involve discussion, argumentation and some interrogation(!). They aren’t lectures and you’ll be an active participant, learning how to express your views with panache.
Each of the following topics can be spun to be relevant to you and your subject. We will draw on other social science subjects besides Land Economy to make sure you can give nuanced answers to a variety of questions. The tutor will bear in mind your subject of choice and angle the question to your subject specialism.

Following directly on from the work you’ll be doing during the regular fortnightly sessions, we’ll dedicate two whole days over the Summer holidays to debating issues in more depth. The workshops will be split into 4 sections:
We encourage applicants in all subjects to attend all sections, as you’ll be able to apply nuances to your thinking if you can tackle any issue from multiple viewpoints.
Not currently available outside of this package, we are offering up to 40 hours of tuition with our esteemed tutors.
Honestly, the value of every minute with our expert tutors in a ONE-TO-ONE setting is IMMENSE.
This tuition is highly recommended for international students, as it will also allow us to go through other aspects of your application, such as university choice.
– Personal statement help
– TSA prep
– Interview prep
– Discussing marked mock exams
– Mock interviews
– A-level support
– Useful vocabulary for international students
– General questions about Oxford
– Super-curricular enrichment
The pressure of an Oxford interview is real. The number of truly exceptional students that have walked into an interview only to succumb to their nerves is incredible.
Our 1-1 interviews help you avoid this situation and allow you to walk into your interview with confidence.
You’ll get three mock interviews in a two hour session, with detailed feedback after each one.
Becoming comfortable answering tough questions in your subject “out loud” – and facing pushback from the interviewer! – takes some getting used to. Our expert tutors emulate the interview process so you are fully prepared!
We are sure that no other organisation offers such a comprehensive and rigorous package of online and group courses specifically for Land Economy admissions tests and interview preparation. In the unlikely event that you do find an identical package at a lower price, carried out by tutors with comparable credentials, we guarantee to match the price.
We guarantee the quality of our tutors. All of our tutors are either Oxbridge-educated or hold a PhD from a Russell Group University in a relevant subject. Our tutors go through an intense selection process before they qualify to work with us, and even after that they undergo further training to shape them into the best teachers possible.
There is a 14-day money-back guarantee available to students who attend the first two weekly workshops and send us their notes and marked questions to prove that they have used the online resources. If you have done both of these and you still don’t feel that the programme will benefit you on your journey to Oxbridge, just let us know and we would be happy to refund you your full payment. Please note that, if you have had some 1-1 tuition sessions with us, these will still be payable.
Not to worry, send us a message at support@oxbridgeformula.co.uk with the order number of your previous bundle and we’ll send you a way to purchase the bundle at a further discount.
As a Mastermind student, you get access to ALL of the workshops that we run, and one summer course and one October course (or equivalent). These will initially be allocated to you when you choose the course, but if you change your mind, half way through the year, we can reallocate the courses you have access to.
Everything we do here at the Oxbridge Formula is highly interactive, so you will get a much better experience if you can attend live. Therefore, we recommend you plan around the dates of the intensive courses if possible. Nonetheless, if you absolutely cannot attend, you will also have access to pre-recorded versions after each course has taken place. If practical, we also intend to record parts of the skills workshops. Please note that we are not able to share a recording of the interview group course.
The Mastermind is for students who are aiming for 2024 entry or deferred entry in 2025.
When you apply, you will complete a baseline academic assessment and discuss with us your motivations for applying to Oxbridge to allow us to determine if you are a good fit for the Mastermind. We only work with highly motivated and determined students as our programme requires a good deal of independent study on top of the classes and courses on offer. To be successful, students will need to spend several hours each week on independent study, a level of commitment is required of all students.
