In this episode of the UCAS Parents’ Podcast, we lift the lid on what makes an Oxbridge application different. Host Jon Smith is joined by John Jefferies, Senior Tutor and Head of Politics at Warwick School, to demystify the process and share expert insight.

We explore the earlier deadlines, entrance tests, and unique interview style at Oxford and Cambridge, while uncovering how parents can best support their child without adding pressure.

From managing preparation and expectations to understanding what tutors really look for, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and practical advice for parents navigating one of the most competitive application routes.
