How to Apply to Oxford.

  1. 1. Choose your course.

    Oxford admits by course, not by college. Read the faculty prospectus in full before you commit.

  2. 2. Register for the entrance test.

    Register through Pearson VUE by mid-September. Test dates fall in October.

  3. 3. Submit UCAS by 15 October.

    The Oxford deadline is fixed and non-negotiable. Personal statements should be drafted, redrafted and reviewed by a specialist.

  4. 4. Sit the entrance test.

    TMUA, ESAT, UCAT, TARA, HAT or MLAT depending on course.

  5. 5. Interview in December.

    Two to four interviews across one or more colleges, held online or in Oxford.

  6. 6. Decision in January.

    Offers, pool decisions or unsuccessful notifications are released in mid-January.
