Every year, the Independent Schools Show brings together a host of the UK’s leading schools to the Evolution Centre in Battersea Park. Dukes Education attended the fair to speak to families about the group’s four colleges, and our experts advised many students and their parents on the next steps in their academic career. Our US and Oxbridge applications senior advisors, Dr Jon Tabbert, and Alicia Luba, gave talks on early preparation for competitive university applications.

Jon delivered his popular keynote on the US admissions process, talking about choosing an institution, admissions tests, and scholarships, while Alicia spoke about how to prepare for a successful university application in the UK. Watch Jon’s talk here, and Alicia’s talk here.
