Tailored university, apprenticeship, and careers preparation

Alongside our personalised A level programme, EPQ and wider enrichment curriculum, we provide a comprehensive programme of university, degree apprenticeship and careers preparation, designed to ensure that every student leaves LPS Sixth confident, informed and well prepared for their next step.

We deliberately encourage students to consider the full range of opportunities available to them. For some, this will mean applying to leading universities in the UK; for others, an international university may provide the best academic and personal fit. Increasingly, students are also considering degree apprenticeships and other high-quality professional pathways, which combine university level study with paid employment and substantial workplace experience. Our role is not to promote one route over another, but to help each student identify the pathway that best matches their ambitions, strengths and future goals.

Support begins early and is highly personalised. Students receive guidance on researching universities, courses, apprenticeships and career sectors, building a strong academic and super-curricular profile, and making informed choices. This includes structured support with UCAS applications, personal statements, references, interview preparation and admissions tests, alongside specialist guidance for students considering Oxbridge, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, competitive degree apprenticeships or universities overseas.

As part of the Dukes Education family, LPS Sixth students also benefit from access to an exceptional network of specialist support. This includes Oxbridge Applications for highly competitive university preparation, The A-List for US and international university applications, The Lawyer Portal and The Medic Portal for students pursuing Law, Medicine and related pathways, and InvestIN for immersive career experiences and professional insight.

Oxbridge Applications

Over the last 20 years, Oxbridge Applications has helped over 70,000 students with their applications to the university of Oxford and Cambridge. LPS Sixth students receive expert guidance and support on university applications, including one-to-one mentorship, interview preparation and mock admission tests.

 

Ivy League and US Applications

We offer students access to personalised advice from A-List Education, the leading US university admissions consultancy in the UK. Instructors guide students through every step of the process, from preparing for tests to selecting colleges and crafting application essays.

The Medic Portal was founded in 2015 by a team of doctors and online content experts. It offers accessible application support for prospective medical school students and those that advise them. Now established as the leading ‘Get into Medicine’ resource, it has worked with 500+ partner schools across the UK, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

The Lawyer Portal

The Lawyer Portal is the definitive resource for everyone considering a career in law – whatever their stage or background. It offers a growing suite of support programmes to applicants, alongside popular, step-by-step guides. It is now working in partnership with leading law schools and law firms on a range of initiatives.
