My Oxford story began with UNIQ. Coming from a state school with no history of Oxbridge applications, I believed that maybe university wasn’t right for me. UNIQ dispelled my preconceptions about Oxford – it was a dynamic, welcoming place, where I could share my passion for history with my tutors and peers alike. The confidence and motivation that I gained let me believe that Oxford was a place I belonged, and led me not only to complete my undergraduate studies here but also my master’s and doctorate. UNIQ showed me that not only could I aspire to Oxford – I could thrive here as well.
