Are you an International Student Aiming for a Top UK University?
Hi, I’m Matthew Shapiro, a Cambridge Alumnus and UK university Admissions Expert. Every year, thousands of international students from Europe apply to top UK universities, drawn by their world-class academics and outstanding career prospects.
In this exclusive webinar, I’ll guide you through the UK university admissions process with a special focus on Oxbridge, sharing strategies to help you stand out.
Here’s what I’ll cover:
- A clear breakdown of the UK university application process
- How to choose between universities and narrow down your college options
- How international students can impress UK admission officers
- How an academic enrichment project, like a research paper, can set you apart
- Understanding the new three-prompt system for personal statements
If you’re in Europe, currently in grades 9–11, and aiming for top UK universities, this webinar is for you.

How Crimson can help
Applying to top UK universities is a difficult and stressful task which is why so many students seek external support.
Each of our programmes are tailored to the student and are delivered by a carefully selected team of mentors who provide focussed support with each and every aspect of the process - from university selection to essay writing and admission test preparation.
By signing up for this webinar you will get access to a 1:1 meeting with one of our expert Academic Advisors. You will learn how your candidacy measures up for the schools you’re aiming for — and how Crimson works with students and families to increase admission chances by up to 450%.
