University Admissions Preparation

Helping students succeed in competitive university applications

Hilltop Academy has a serious focus upon preparing our A Level/IB students for admission to top universities.

All of the courses offered at top Universities require an interview. Many excellent students vie for limited places, and as such there must be proper preparation beforehand.

Here at Hilltop Academy we are devoted to ensuring all of our students are thoroughly equipped for their interview at their choice of universities.

Our teachers prepare them for the process by staging mock interviews, offering practical feedback, and highlighting the key criteria needed to impress.

Besides an interview, many applicants will be required to sit a pre-interview examination.
