hello :) im currently attending an international school and would like to study environmental science in CU.
Recently, I've been seeing a lot of videos about passion project
do you think doing passion project or doing some research before starting form 11 will help my application later on?

Hi, thanks for the advice! Just wondering, would I be disadvantaged in the applications process (for Economics) if I offered Further Maths as one of 3 A-levels as well as an additional AS level?

Hi Ilya. Is it true that having ranked high in an national or international Math or Physics Olympiad is highly praised by Oxbridge ?
