Oxford International College students count down to Results Day
The college’s calendar of release dates is now set. Cambridge International AS and A Level results for Computer Science and History will land first, on August 11, with all other AS and A Level results following on August 13. Cambridge IGCSE results will be published on August 18, and the remaining GCSE and Edexcel IGCSE results on August 20. Students will be able to log in to the iSAMS Student Portal from 8am on each release day.
It is the A Level dates in mid-August that will carry the heaviest weight. UCAS updates shortly after results are released, allowing students to confirm a firm offer, accept an insurance place, or begin to weigh up other options. For an internationally minded cohort drawn from across the UK and overseas, those few hours will shape decisions about flights, visas and accommodation as well as university courses.
OIC has built much of its reputation around what happens in that window. The college, part of the Nord Anglia Education family and based at 1 London Place in Oxford, prepares students for entry to the country’s most competitive universities, with a strong track record of graduate destinations at Oxford, Cambridge and other G5 institutions, as well as leading universities in the United States and beyond.
Staff will be on hand throughout Results Day to talk through grades, offers and next steps. That includes guiding students through UCAS Clearing for those exploring alternative routes, and offering reassurance to those whose results land exactly where they hoped.
The college’s Global Strategic Pathway means much of this work has been going on quietly for months. Each student is matched with a personalised plan that links subject choices to university targets, supercurricular electives and leadership opportunities, so that the conversation on Results Day rarely starts from a blank page.
Recent cohorts give a sense of where this leads. Students have progressed to read Veterinary Medicine at the Royal Veterinary College, Accounting and Finance at the London School of Economics, and Artificial Intelligence at Rice University on scholarship, alongside the more familiar routes into Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial.
For now, though, the focus is on the students still waiting. After a year of mock exams, revision timetables and final pushes through the A Level programme and One Year GCSE programme, the work has been done.
Whatever the envelopes say in August, OIC’s principal Dr Sarah Watson and her team have made clear that students will not be left to read them alone. More information on Results Day arrangements, university progression and the support available through Clearing is published on the college’s news pages.
