St Hugh's Connect is an online programme consisting of hour-long sessions led by student ambassadors. During these sessions, Sixth Formers have the opportunity to talk directly to current St Hugh’s undergraduates about various aspects of the application process, to receive some top tips on preparing a competitive application, and to hear about the undergraduate experience from a range of authentic student voices.

There are five upcoming sessions this spring/summer, focused around choosing a course and university, and preparing a strong application for top universities. You are welcome to sign up for as many of these sessions as you would like.

In this session, we will give an overview of how Oxford admissions tests work, and the interview process. Our ambassadors will talk about their own experiences, and give their advice on how you can begin to prepare.

Like all of our outreach activities, Connect is completely free of charge and students can attend as many sessions as they like. Please note that Connect sessions are aimed at students at state-funded schools or colleges.
