Tonbridge boys are heading to leading universities The School’s Upper Sixth students will be taking up places at many of the world’s leading universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, later this year. A total of 22 Tonbridge boys (some of whom are pictured, above, on Teams) have been offered places to study at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge this year: ten have received places at Oxford, and 12 at Cambridge. These places were shared very evenly across subjects in the Arts and Humanities (11) and Sciences (11). Subjects that boys will be reading include Classics, Engineering, English, History, Maths, Music, French and German and Natural Sciences, which means that many of the School’s departments have played a key part in this latest university success.
With competition from national and international candidates stronger than ever, it is a notable achievement that Tonbridge students have received more than 180 Oxbridge offers since 2015. Tonbridge boys have also secured places on world-leading degree courses, in a wide range of subjects, at other top UK universities. These sought-after courses for 2021 include Mechatronics and Engineering, International Relations, Experimental Psychology, Real Estate, Aerospace Engineering, Earth and Planetary Science, Sports Management, Marine Biology, and Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). The school’s Headmaster, James Priory, said: “These university offers represent a truly excellent achievement by boys and staff, and is a tribute to the hard work and dedication that we see in all areas across the School.”
