Who are we

---

The Legacy Project is a student-led social initiative. Our team consists of students studying degrees such as Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering and Law, at Oxbridge and other Russell Group Universities, and high-profile degree apprenticeships from companies such as KPMG, PWC and Dyson. ​

 

What our aims are

Focused on instilling excellence in the leaders of tomorrow, The Legacy Project aims to empower and develop individuals (ages 16-21) from less socially mobile backgrounds to pioneer in their chosen fields. We are working to serve as a bridge that connects all students to opportunities they deserve, whilst also promoting a culture of perseverance, mental-resilience and strong work ethic.

 

Why we do what we do

Socio-economic disadvantage continues to be the most significant driver of inequality, hindering access to and outcomes from higher education. Having experienced difficulties and obstacles in our own academic and personal development journeys, we wish to impart our life lessons, opportunities, and tips in order to remove the institutionalised hurdles struggling students face from a variety of diverse backgrounds.

 

What we offer

We offer bespoke tailored support to all our students, free of charge.
This August gone we delivered our first set of subject-specific seminars, aimed at aiding prospective University students with their UCAS applications.
From encouraging healthy motivations and mindsets, to an insight into various degrees, we covered:

• Personal statements 
• Admission test tips
• Interview Preparation Guidance
• Mock Oxbridge interview workshop
  

​Currently we have:

• Subject seminars

Personal Development

Social mobility does not stop after a-levels. We believe it is critical for disadvantaged individuals to develop their soft skills so that they can really close the attainment gap. ​
