Everything You Need to Know About Application Requirements at University of Oxford

All applicants must fulfil the prerequisites for their degree in order to accept the offer of a spot to study here. Oxford accepts a wide range of other comparable UK and international qualifications, but many applicants are enrolled in A-levels. Please review the criteria for your course as some courses, especially those in the sciences, have unique subject requirements.

When applying to Oxford, please do not provide any transcripts or certificates. Additionally, if you have credentials from the United States, do not send any test results through the College Board.

Only if you are given a spot here will you need to present your transcripts or certifications.

On the UCAS application form, under "Education," you should self-report all of your credentials, grades, and results from standardised tests. 

Their tutors evaluate applications based on each course's selection criteria.

The instructors are searching for students that have a strong interest in the subject they are applying to study, in addition to academic aptitude and promise. Both our Digital Resources Hub and their suggested subject resources page have a list of recommended readings for each course.
