Fibonacci - Balliol College Y12 Access Programmes

Fibonacci is a year-long academic programme offered to UK state school students in Year 12 (or equivalent) which offers participants the opportunity to engage with Oxford-style maths teaching.

he bulk of the academic content is delivered through a series of virtual academic seminars held on Wednesday evenings led by Oxford University representatives, hosted after school hours from 5:00‑7:00pm. Students explore topics with input from a range of science subjects. The programme also includes a residential summer school in Oxford, during which students take part in a tutorial, and is offered to students free of charge with financial support available to cover travel costs.

This opportunity suits academically able students who are interested in studying a science programme at Oxbridge and who are keen to engage with academic ideas outside their school curriculum, ahead of applying to university the following year. Many participants have gone on to make successful applications to Oxford, and other competitive universities.

The deadline to submit your application is Sunday 14 December 2025.
