Founded in 1994, the Russell group is made up of 24 elite UK universities committed to maintaining excellent academic standards in both teaching and research, with many ranked amongst the best in the world. Places at these universities are highly sought after because they grant such a major advantage to the people who go there. Most of the leading figures in British Society today attended one of these universities, including the majority of the cabinet and many captains of industry.
Each year in June, Oaks Park hosts its very own Russell Group Evening. We welcome past and present students to present their stories and experiences, and talk about how they managed to achieve their university goals. During this evening, you will also have the opportunity to hear from Russell Group Universities, who will talk about university life with them and what they look for in an applicant.
