10-15 students enter universities in the USA, including premier universities such as Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Haverford, and Yale.
Other students enter universities in a variety of countries, such as the Netherlands, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Kazakhstan.

St. Clare's has a full-time Careers and Higher Education Adviser to assist students with applications to British universities and those in other countries, except the USA.
The US Universities Counsellor assists students wishing to apply to universities in the USA.
Individual appointments may be made with the Adviser or the US Universities Counsellor to discuss future study plans and to assist with applications.
A comprehensive programme of talks by College staff and visiting university representatives is arranged.
There is an extensive library of prospectuses and information about higher education opportunities in the UK, and elsewhere, at undergraduate level.
The College has special programmes to assist students to prepare for IELTS (an English language test required by some universities for non-native speakers) and SATs (for US university entry).
