For teachers
If you are supporting a young person who is thinking about their university options, it is likely that you have your own questions and concerns about them entering higher education.
We value enormously the support and encouragement that teachers, tutors, and HE advisers give to students who may be thinking of applying here. You'll find lots of useful advice and guidance in the Advice for teachers, tutors & HE advisers pages. Cambridge Admissions Office (CAO) and College admissions offices are always available to give advice to teachers on admissions policy and other matters.
The University’s comprehensive guide for teachers, tutors and HE advisors can be found here.

Oxford and Cambridge Outreach Network
The Oxford and Cambridge Collaborative Outreach Network was founded to highlight opportunities for both teachers and students to find out more about studying at Oxford or Cambridge. It brings together details of upcoming events, helpful resources and information, and booking for school visits.
If you are a school or college student thinking of studying Modern Languages or Linguistics at university, these pages will provide you with sample approaches to the study of culturally significant texts and resources for exploring them.
