Foundation

Oxbridge Applications was founded by James Uffindell when he was inter-railing around Europe at the end of his second year at Oxford University.

Application Research Limited was registered in October 1999. James then conducted an extensive research project to find out how current undergraduates had made successful applications. He found out which books they had read, why they had applied and what advice they would give to others.
