About University of Oxford

The University of Oxford is one of the world's oldest universities and admits undergraduates through a college system — applicants apply to the university as a whole but are also assigned to or choose one of its constituent colleges, which becomes their primary academic and social community. Oxford's undergraduate admissions process is notably more involved than most UK universities, commonly including a subject-specific written admissions test and an interview conducted by the college(s) considering the application.

Coverage & Financial Benefits

• Need-based bursaries and Crankstart Scholarships for UK students from lower-income households
• World-leading tutorial teaching system
• Some offers include a place on the Opportunity Oxford programme

Requirements & Eligibility

• Strong academic record meeting course-specific entry requirements
• May require an admissions test (UAT-UK, UCAT for Medicine, or LNAT for Law) depending on course
• One UCAS course choice at Oxford per cycle (cannot apply to both Oxford and Cambridge in the same year)

Required Documents

How to Apply

1. 1Apply through UCAS by Oxford's own earlier deadline (mid-October), significantly earlier than the general UCAS deadline for most other UK universities.
2. 2Register for and sit any admissions test required for your specific course, since many Oxford courses (Law, Medicine, most sciences) require one.
3. 3If shortlisted, attend an interview (in-person or online) with your chosen or allocated college, typically held in December.
