When your child is aiming for a place at a top university like LSE or Oxbridge, you want to know that every part of their application is as strong as it can be.

Developing the Skills Top Universities Value Most

General Studies helps your child develop skills that are essential for success at university and beyond. It teaches them how to analyse complex information, form a well-reasoned argument, and understand different viewpoints – whether they're dissecting a current affairs topic or evaluating a scientific debate. These are precisely the abilities that admissions tutors at institutions like Imperial or LSE look for. A strong grasp of these skills will not only help them in their exams but also give them the confidence to write a compelling personal statement and excel in challenging university interviews.
