Eton: university destinations

Latest Oxford and Cambridge figures: 2025 admissions round. Latest list of where leavers went: 2015 leavers. Last checked 15 Oct 2026

Oxford and Cambridge

These applications are counted through the school that submitted them. An offer, an acceptance and a place taken up describe different steps, so adding them together would count some pupils more than once.

Oxford and Cambridge combined

Calculated from each university’s counts for the same application cycle: offers ÷ applications. These are applications from the school, not the share of its pupils going to Oxbridge.

Oxford and Cambridge records: Eton College, 2025

Each input is counted once. Where a university conceals a small count or the records disagree, the affected total and rate are left uncalculated. Rates are rounded to one decimal place.

Other named destinations

We don’t have a dated destination list naming other universities for Eton. The records below keep offers, expected destinations and other mentions separate. A missing list doesn’t mean no leavers took up places.

Every university record, by year

Applying, receiving an offer, accepting it and taking up a place are different steps. Each has its own table so that you can follow what the school actually reported. The summary tables are on this page; each year’s named universities, courses and subjects have a page of their own.

Latest year

2025

For 2025 we have 1 record of where leavers went: 1 with figures, 0 naming a university without a figure. Each comes from its own publication and may describe a different group of leavers, so they are not added together.

A filled square means we have found at least one figure of that kind for the year. It shows which information is available; it does not describe how well leavers did.

We don’t add tables together: publications can overlap. A university named without a count may mean one pupil or many. A dash means no figure.

Named universities and courses, year by year

Each year has its own page, with every university, course and subject the publications name for it and the source of each.

No page for 2011: no named universities or courses.
