Success Stories
Priya
Medicine at Oxford

“My Oxbridge medicine mock interview with Jamie was so useful and a very similar question came up in my Magdalen interview. We also used one of the interviews to practice MMI style questions.”

Jakob
Medicine at Cambridge

“The BMAT resources were excellent. I was particularly struggling with the spatial reasoning questions and the critical thinking ones and the videos were super clear. I felt much more confident going into the exam. The essay plans were also enlightening.”

Hamza
Medicine at Cambridge

“At first I was sceptical about how useful the workshop sessions would be. But when I got to my interview, I found myself drawing upon a lot of what was discussed then. I’m so grateful, as I didn’t get anything close to this at school!”

Greta
Medicine at Oxford

“The Oxbridge Formula saved me when it came to my medical applications. The full package has been really well thought out. The tutors and so friendly and knowledgeable. I got help with UCAT, BMAT, personal statement and interviews. Strongly recommend!”

Our triple satisfaction guarantee to you:
Price Match

We are sure that no other organisation offers such a comprehensive and rigorous package of online and group courses specifically for Biochemistry 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.

Tutor Quality

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.

Money Back

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.

Weekly Advanced Biology Interactive Workshops

An Oxbridge Biochemistry interview is very much like a natural sciences interview – you are going to be asked pure Science questions and you’ll be stretched and extended beyond the current level of your knowledge. When you are asked questions about something that’s at the edge of your knowledge it can be helpful to have some context in this area as it will make you much more confident answering questions on specific topics.

Students are sometimes asked to submit their favourite topics of study before the interview and as a result, if there are some topics that you know inside out and have done wider reading or research on that can be a huge advantage to you when it comes to the Oxbridge Biochemistry Interview. Therefore the Oxbridge Formula is running a series of weekly 2-hour long advanced biology sessions run by a Cambridge medic. We will be looking at topics such as:

  • Diagnostic Methods and Experimental techniques
  • Introduction to Anatomy
  • Physiology I Organs of the Chest
  • Physiology II Organs of the Abdomen
  • Cell Biology and Genetics
  • Metabolism and Energy
  • Pathology and the Immune System
  • Neuroscience and the Brain
  • Reproduction
  • Pharmacology
  • For medics/vetmed there could be some case studies to practice all the above
  • ..and more

3x/6x 1-1 Mock Interviews
The pressure of an Oxbridge 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 solving tough problems in your subject “out loud” takes some getting used to! Our expert tutors emulate the interview process so you are fully prepared!
FAQs
I already have the online resources as part of the Bronze Online Bundle, so I don't need these again.

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.

I don't know which subject I want to study yet. Can I still sign up to the Mastermind?

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.

What happens if I can't make one of the dates?

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.

Who is the Oxbridge Mastermind aimed at?

The Mastermind is for students who are aiming for 2024 entry or deferred entry in 2025.

Is the Oxbridge Mastermind for me?

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.
