Entrance requirements
This is one of the most competitive courses in the University of Oxford. In the past three years, 7.8% of applications were successful.
Thinking Skills Assessment
All candidates must take the Thinking Skills Assessment test. This is a written test, which is normally at candidates’ own school or college, in early November. Separate registration for this test is required and prospective applicants should refer to the test website for further information and a specimen paper. http://www.admissionstests.cambridgeassessment.org.uk/adt/tsaoxford
Interview
Interviews are held in mid-December, before Christmas. If you have not been invited for interview, you will not be offered a place. Interviews are usually held in Oxford, but some overseas interviews are held in the Far East. You will usually be interviewed in your first choice college and one other college. This is to ensure that students may recover from one poor interview, and to maximize the chances for the best students to be admitted, regardless of their choice of college.
