2025 John Locke Competition: Our Students secure Global Top 2 in Philosophy and high commendations

In the 2025 John Locke Essay Competition, Oxbridge Global Connect students have once again achieved extraordinary results—securing the Global Second Place in the Philosophy category. This outstanding performance builds on our consistent track record of excellence in previous years: our students have also claimed Global Second Place in Law, Global Third Place in Politics, and Global Third Place in Psychology, among other top-tier achievements.

Notably, Oxbridge Global Connect students’ success extends beyond individual top rankings: the rate of our participants receiving High Commendation (a highly competitive recognition in the competition) reaches an impressive 90%. This stands in stark contrast to the John Locke Institute’s official acceptance rate of approximately 20% back in 2022—a gap that underscores the exceptional quality of our students and our supportive guidance. Hailing from leading schools across the UK, the US, Australia, and Canada, our students continue to excel in this highly competitive global essay competition, proving their prowess in critical thinking and academic writing across diverse disciplines.
