About UpGrade

UpGrade Consultancy prepares students for the UK’s top Russell Group universities, with Oxbridge as the pinnacle.

Every mentor on our team is a graduate of Oxford, Cambridge or another leading Russell Group university. We work with schools and with individual applicants, from first course choices to the final interview. For students looking beyond the UK, we also run a dedicated European applications service.

For schools

We carry the weight of Oxbridge and Russell Group applications, so your staff do not have to.

UpGrade partners with schools in the UK and internationally to run academic enrichment schemes and application programmes that go beyond the curriculum. We work with each cohort from the end of Year 11/Grade 10 through to the final interviews.

  • One programme, the whole journey. Parents’ briefings, masterclasses, mentoring, admissions tests and mock interviews, delivered term by term.
  • A mentor for every student. Each student is matched with a graduate of their target university in their chosen subject.
  • Built for ambitious cohorts. Dedicated extensions for Oxbridge and other highly competitive courses.
