The Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York jointly run an Excellence Hub each year for students from the region to participate in activities to support their application.  More information can be obtained here.

The Excellence Hub for Yorkshire and Humber is a regional collaboration and the purpose of the programme is to develop exciting and purposeful opportunities for high achieving young people to help enrich their experiences in school/college.

Events delivered through the Excellence Hub for Yorkshire and Humber are open to students from across the UK who have been identified by their school or college as being high achieving. Please note that there are additional eligibility criteria and a set application process for applying for events.

If you’re thinking of applying to either Oxford or Cambridge universities, one of the first things you’ll find out is the college system. There are over 40 at Oxford and over 30 at Cambridge, and each one is different.

Deciding which to apply to will become clearer once you have thought about what subject you want to study, and once you’ve visited the two universities. We run trips to both in the summer. But in the meantime, you might want to browse our new Oxbridge college tree.

This diagram divides all the colleges up on the basis of three criteria: size, reputation and distance from the centre.
