Graduate admissions criteria
Applicants must first have been accepted by a Department or Faculty of the University of Oxford before the College will consider their application.
Applications are considered for any of the courses in which the College offers admission, as listed here.
Applications are usually considered by academic staff in relevant subject area and/or the Tutor for Graduates.
The College aims to admit a certain number of graduate students each year spread across the range of subjects in which it accepts graduate students. The College aims to ensure that it can allocate a College Advisor in a cognate subject to each graduate student. These factors determine the number of offers which can be made to applicants.
Where there are more applicants than offers which can be made, the relative academic merit and potential of the applicants may be taken into account. The possession of competitively-won funding may be taken into account as an indicator of the applicant’s academic merit and potential.
It may not be possible to make offers to applicants whose applications are received late in the admissions round, when places are full.
The final decision on whether to offer a place in the light of the overall competition for graduate places and the spread of those places across subject areas is usually taken by the Tutor for Graduates.
Any offer of a College place will be subject to satisfactory completion of the financial declaration form that will be sent to the applicant alongside the offer of a place.
