University Destinations

Whether your studies lead you to a global elite university, a pioneering research programme, or a start-up yet to be imagined, our education provides the foundation.

Every lesson, every opportunity, every challenge is designed to equip our pupils not just for what comes next, but for a lifetime of impact.

The majority of our pupils go on to study at the world’s most competitive and prestigious universities across the UK, US and Europe.

Our 2024 leavers continue this proud tradition. Over 80% secured places at their firm-choice university, with nearly 85% of UK applicants heading to Russell Group institutions. Durham, UCL and King’s College London were among the most popular choices, alongside places at Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial.

Business, biochemistry, finance, maths and computer science proved the most sought-after degree courses among this year’s cohort.

Our IBDP pupils also achieved outstanding results, with an average score just under 38 points. Many are now studying at leading global universities, including LSE, Edinburgh, King’s and a range of top institutions in North America and beyond.

We are immensely proud of our pupils and all that they go on to achieve. They leave us exceptionally well-prepared for undergraduate study, and also for life beyond the classroom.

It is their wider contribution to the cultural, sporting and social life of our School that truly sets them apart. They are thoughtful, capable and well-rounded young people, and they leave Charterhouse with so much to be positive about.
