For too many students, the path to top universities is shaped less by talent and more by access.

Despite representing just 7% of the UK population, private school students make up over 30% of Oxford undergraduates.

On top of that, more than half of the undergraduate places at the UK’s top universities are awarded to international students — leaving an even narrower window of opportunity for students from underprivileged backgrounds to secure places on the most competitive courses.

This disparity isn’t about ability — it’s about advantage.

Many students are supported by schools that provide early access to expert tutoring, structured application strategies, and insider knowledge.

Meanwhile, others are left to piece together guidance from scattered online forums and outdated advice, often receiving inconsistent support at a critical time.

We know this because we lived it.

At AccessEdge, we believe that NO student should be held back by a lack of access to specialist knowledge, structured preparation, or tailored academic support.

We’re committed to levelling the field — not by lowering the bar, but by raising the standard of guidance available to those who’ve had to work harder for it.
