New iTunes website catch Britain's elite students' fancy
Oxford (AP): What's playing on your iPod? If you're an aspiring university student, Oxford and Cambridge hope it's them.
Britain's elite universities uploaded more than 350 hours of podcasts and video podcasts on Tuesday to a new iTunes Web site designed specifically for universities.
School leaders say they want to reach out to potential students from diverse backgrounds, including those who attend secondary schools not typically sending students to Oxford and Cambridge.
Oxford is advising potential applicants on how to write a personal statement, how to choose from the university's many programmes and how to get through an interview.
Cambridge includes a guide to admissions for parents.
The podcasts are freely available online, so applicants don't need an iPod to listen to them.
In addition, lectures from the prestigious universities will also be available for free. more
