Our students’ 2026 university destinations
At King’s InterHigh, students are supported to aim for their dream universities and given all the guidance they need to get there. This year alone, more than 50 of our sixth form graduates progressed to elite universities and competitive degree pathways — including 30 who went on to Russell Group and QS Top 100 universities.
Their list of destinations is as international as our global school community, with some of their standout destinations including:

No subject is off the table
Learning online is no barrier to any degree students aspire to. We teach a wide range of subjects, from languages to humanities to hands-on options like art and science, so learners can pursue any field they’re passionate about.
This year, several of our students earned places to study some of the most competitive university courses, including medicine, veterinary medicine, and law. Among them, a total of nine students secured highly coveted medical degree pathways across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Australia.
Beyond law and STEM, our students’ degree choices this year spanned the whole academic spectrum, from history of art to business to politics.
How we guide students to reach top universities
Our students work incredibly hard to achieve their academic goals, and our teachers and staff work just as hard to help them on their way. We have a comprehensive futures support programme at King’s InterHigh that ensures our young people have all the guidance they need to apply to top universities, from choosing a course to prepping for interviews.
A thriving learning environment
Everything starts with the foundation of our school environment, where each student’s learning experience is shaped around them. Our flexibility and focus on wellbeing give students the time and freedom to discover what they care about, grow their academic passions while studying, and keep up with the demands of sixth form without sacrificing their mental and physical health.
“My experience at King’s InterHigh was really positive,” says Nola, who originally left mainstream school due to Long COVID and is now studying Spanish and history of art at UCL. “The flexible nature of the learning suited me very well.”
Likewise, Jake (now studying economics at the University of Southampton) explains, “Due to health requirements, my outcome would be substantially different if I had to have attended school in-person. King’s InterHigh has allowed me to balance my medical appointments and rehabilitation whilst achieving in-depth studies of the standard three A-Levels.”
World-class online teaching
Delivered by our UK and internationally qualified subject specialist teachers, our lessons are designed to be interactive and engaging, helping students stay motivated through their sixth form journey. Our state-of-the-art virtual classrooms give learners the perfect blend of focused study and classmate collaboration, and every lesson is recorded so students can revisit their teachers’ explanations when revising.
Great teaching in classes is also backed up by plenty of help outside lessons. We run weekly study clubs in almost every subject, optional study skills workshops, and revision guidance sessions, with teachers only a click away when students have a question.
It’s an approach that worked perfectly for Evan, now at the University of Sheffield for biomedical science, who says, “My teachers at King’s InterHigh have been supportive throughout with consistent feedback cycles alongside interactive learn and explore lessons that helped me to achieve the grades I needed for further study.”
Expert guidance for university applications
When it comes to the application itself, no student is left to take things on alone. As part of our support, we offer expert-led guidance for UCAS, Common App and international applications, with additional specialist support for students applying to Oxbridge and medicine. Students also have access to leading platforms such as Unifrog to research and compare their options.
Katie, now studying biochemistry at King’s College London, describes what the support looked like for her unique pathway: “My tutor offered one to one sessions and reviewed my personal statement, giving me feedback and advice and guiding me through the whole UCAS application.”
Exams that work for every student
Many of our students sit their exams at physical centres around the world, but we also know that a big exam hall isn’t everyone’s best setting. That’s why with King’s InterHigh, students also have the choice to sit their international A-Level exams online from home, through remote invigilation by Pearson Edexcel. Online exams can make a real difference for students with needs such as autism or anxiety, as well as our international learners who live in remote areas. Sitting an exam somewhere they feel at ease means more students can show universities what they’re really capable of.
Future-ready skills that stand out
Learning online also naturally builds attributes that top universities value. At King’s InterHigh, students are guided to learn how to manage their own time, study and research independently, and take initiative in their own education. Learning alongside classmates from over 100 countries, meanwhile, brings a genuinely global outlook to our lessons, building an international-mindedness that’s prized by many leading institutions. These skills help students stand out in their university applications and settle into university study quickly once they arrive on campus.
Beyond university
Of course, not every student’s next step is university, so our support extends beyond higher education. We offer comprehensive careers guidance, virtual work experience opportunities, support for internships (including references), and more. Many of our students go straight into careers, apprenticeships and training, while others choose to pursue passions like acting or sports at a global level.
Congratulations to every King’s InterHigh student who has started university this year! We can’t wait to see where their next steps take them.
