What is myOXperience?

MyOXperience is an outreach programme for talented Polish youth.

About us

We invest in education and development, allowing access to the best educational practices. We believe education to be the greatest value to the society. We have experience in supporting youth in educational trips abroad – language courses, orientation meetings or studying in schools across Europe and USA. We create myOXperience to show young people that studying at the world’s best universities is not just a dream – it is a possibility.

We are a charity created by Polish students from Oxford and Cambridge. We promote studying at the world’s best universities and help Polish students with the application process for free. We believe that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, should have equal chances for developing their talents. Our foundation operates within the framework of the international Project Access.

Jesus College combines academic excellence in teaching and research with an informal, vibrant, and supportive community. We currently have 340 undergraduates, 190 graduates, 68 Fellows and 20 College lecturers.

Our students as well as our tutors come from a very wide range of backgrounds and cultures. We select our students on achievement and potential, with a higher than average proportion of state school undergraduates.  90% of our undergraduates come from the UK, and about half of our graduate students are international, coming from 33 countries.

Q&A

The participants must be attending high school, or its equivalent, during application. This means that most the participants will be 16 or 17 at the time of the trip.

Participants must be attending a school in Poland and be residents here. We do allow nationals of other countries to apply.

As we are a charity, there are no costs associated with the trip. Participants only need to cover the cost of travel from their place of residence to Warsaw and back.
