Graduate Admissions

• Applications are considered for any of the courses in which the College offers admission.
• Applicants must first have been accepted by a Department or Faculty of the University of Oxford before any college may consider them.
• Applications are usually considered by academic staff in the relevant subject area.
• Preference will normally be given to applicants whose area of study overlaps with the academic interests of the College's academic staff.
• 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. Where there are more applicants than offers which can be made, the relative academic merit and potential of the applicants may be considered. It may not be possible to make offers to applicants whose applications are received late in the admissions round, when places are full.
• The possession of competitively-won funding may be taken into account as an indicator of the applicant's academic merit and potential.
• The final decision on whether to offer a place is usually taken by the Tutor for Graduates.
• Please note that any offer of a place will be subject to satisfactory financial evidence that the applicant can meet the tuition fees for the first year of their course. Please consult the University's guidance on the college Financial Declaration for further details.
• Preference may be given to current or past students of the College who meet the selection criteria described above.

After graduate applicants have met all the academic and financial conditions of their offer, they will be asked to complete and return a copy of the college's student contract prior to beginning their course. The contract refers to the Student Handbook, which is regularly updated in a process involving current students. All students are bound by the Student Handbook.
