- Academic Taster Lectures
- Study and University Skills Sessions
- Inspire Research Project

Selection for Inspire 12 is based on both academic merit (pupils should be predicted at least AAB at A-level*) and a number of contextual factors, including:
- If the pupil is from a low socio-economic status background and/or from an area with low progression to higher education
- If the pupil is in receipt of free school meals and/or is in the care of a local authority
*Applications are considered on a case-by-case basis. If you feel you have experienced exceptional circumstances which mean you haven’t been predicted grades that reflect your true potential, please email us at inspire@sjc.ox.ac.uk.
