For undergraduate study, applications must be submitted via UCAS by 15 October for entry the following year. Most shortlisted candidates are interviewed in December, with final decisions released in January. Admission is highly competitive, with roughly 23,000 applicants for around 3,300 places annually.
Postgraduate application deadlines vary by programme, though most taught and research courses have deadlines in December or January. Prospective students are strongly advised to apply early to be considered for University and departmental scholarships. Decisions are typically communicated 8–10 weeks after the deadline. Oxford does not operate quotas for international students; admissions are strictly merit-based.
The Oxford Saïd MBA follows a staged admissions process, with multiple rounds running until mid-March. Applicants are generally expected to have a minimum of two years’ work experience, a strong undergraduate degree, competitive GMAT or GRE scores, and robust supporting materials.

Oxford University Acceptance Rate
Oxford University’s overall undergraduate acceptance rate is generally around 13-14%, meaning roughly 1 in every 6–7 applicants is offered and accepts a place. As per 2020–2024 reports:
| Year | UK (%) | EU (%) | Non-EU / International (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 17.8 | 6.9 | 7.7 |
| 2023 | 17.5 | 7.6 | 7.7 |

Notes on Eligibility Equivalents for Indian Students:
Oxford assesses Indian bachelor's degrees case-by-case, favouring higher marks from reputable institutions (e.g., IITs, Delhi University). General translations from Oxford's international qualifications guidance:
- First-class undergraduate degree (most courses) → Typically 70%+ overall, or GPA 3.7+/4.0 (higher for competitive/quant courses like 75%+).
- Strong upper second-class → Around 60-69%, or GPA 3.5+/4.0.
- For law-specific courses (e.g., MSc Law and Finance) → Outstanding performance in a law degree. (Being in the top 5–10% of your class is often considered “outstanding.”)
- English proficiency (higher level: IELTS 7.5 overall, 7.0 per component) required unless waived for English-medium degree.
Note for Indian Students: From Reddit insights, Indian applicants from non-elite colleges can succeed if GPA is high and profile includes work/research experience. For quant-heavy courses, strong GRE/GMAT scores help offset any perceived institutional bias.

Tips for Success as an Indian Applicant
- Start Early: Build a strong profile with extracurriculars, research, or internships aligned to your course.
- Personal Statement: Be specific—discuss books, projects, or ideas that excite you.
- Prepare for Tests/Interviews: Practice past papers; interviews test thinking, not knowledge.
- Visa Prep: Secure a student visa post-offer; Oxford issues CAS.
- Realism: With low acceptance rates, have backups like Cambridge or US universities.
College Choice Strategy (UG & PG)
Oxford admission is decided by the academic department first; college assignment comes afterwards. College choice rarely affects acceptance but can influence funding, scholarships, accommodation, and the student environment, especially for postgraduates.UG Courses
- College choice has minimal effect on academic admission chances
- Open application pools your application among colleges
- Colleges differ in:
- Accommodation quality
- Support
- Financial aid
Postgraduate & DPhil (VERY IMPORTANT)
- Colleges differ hugely in:
- Funding availability
- Supervisor strength
- International student proportion
- Some colleges are significantly more competitive due to funding concentration
Tip for Indians: College choice affects funding more than admission—choose strategically, not randomly.
Oxford University Scholarships and Funding
Oxford admissions and funding are closely linked, especially for postgraduate and DPhil applicants. Many academically qualified candidates are rejected or waitlisted due to funding limitations.
- Clarendon Fund – Fully funded (tuition + living); automatic consideration if you apply by the January funding deadline
- Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships – Leadership-focused; separate statement required
- Reach Oxford Scholarship – UG only; for students from low-income countries (India eligible)
- Ertegun Graduate Scholarship – Humanities & Social Sciences
- College-specific scholarships – Vary by college; funding strength differs significantly
Reddit consensus: Scholarships exist, but don’t assume admission guarantees funding — strong academics and achievements are essential.

Applying to Oxford from India requires great preparation. By meeting requirements, hitting deadlines, and showcasing your unique perspective, you can stand out among a competitive pool.
FAQs
Ques. Can I apply to Oxford with a gap year or after starting a degree in India?
Ans. Gap years are accepted and common—use the time for relevant experiences (e.g., internships or test prep) and explain it positively in your personal statement. However, Oxford does not allow transfers or credit from prior university studies; you must apply as a fresh undergraduate.
Ques. How important are extracurriculars, and what type should I prioritise?
Ans. Oxford prioritises academic ability and subject passion over general extracurriculars. Activities only matter if "supercurricular" and directly linked to your course (e.g., olympiads for STEM, debating for Law, independent research/projects). Highlight these in your personal statement to show deep engagement—generic clubs or sports add little value.
Ques. What are Oxford interviews like, and how should I prepare as an international applicant?
Ans. Interviews are academic discussions testing your thinking and problem-solving, not memorised facts. Expect subject-specific questions (e.g., unseen problems or texts). For Indians, they're usually online in December. Prepare by reviewing your application, practising past questions from course pages, and doing mock interviews—focus on thinking aloud clearly and showing enthusiasm.

- High standards of rigor in research
- Reknown professors and alumni in department
- Opportunity to network with like-minded academics and scholars
Dislikes
- Only thing I wish could be better with the department if if it could offer more scholarships to incoming students. The city has also increased cost of living since a few years. Excluding this, there are no complaints with the college.
Scholarship
- I have not received a scholarship, but a few of my batchmates have received external scholarships, college scholarships and their own national government-based scholarships.
- I am not sure about how many students receive scholarships each year on average, but I believe it is a minority rather than the majority (ranging from 5-10 students out of 30 students). These students typically receive full scholarships, including cost-of-living expenses.
Likes
- The University of Oxford has an immensely diverse student community. During my time there, I made friends from different disciplines and other countries, helping me engage myself in a very intercultural community.
- The coursework is very rigorous. It would prepare one for their career and helped me gain a lot of confidence since now I can deal with impromptu events or exams without stressing out since I went through the rigor of coursework at Oxford.
- There is a lot of support available to new students especially if you are struggling with mental health. I was going through homesickness and I feel the resources available helped me navigate that issue within months.
Dislikes
- I felt like transitioning into a new college life, especially for international students, needs more time to adapt. However, they might throw you directly into the coursework, which might make it stressful.
- The cost of living can be high, especially if you decide on dining in the college halls instead of cooking.
- Some of the departments are located far away which means you may have to heavily rely on transport, for eg, mine was at John Radcliffe Hospital.
Scholarship
-
One can be eligible for university scholarships as well as scholarships from your country including Inlaks Shivdasani, Rhodes Scholarship, etc. You may also be selected for the Clarendon Scholarships by your department.
-
I received several smaller amounts of bursaries and was a finalist for the Inlaks Shivdasani scholarship although I could not win it. Some of my batchmates were Rhodes scholars, Clarendon scholars etc.
-
On average it can be difficult especially for international students to get scholarships however the percentage varies every year.
Likes
- Faculty- To begin with, the department's faculty provides us with remarkable lectures. If we start with the online classes, we study from modules curated by our professors every semester. These modules are a blend of lectures and tasks hailing from practical experiments, refraining the lectures from becoming mundane. During the physical classes at Oxford, I realised how education could be imparted without having biases and rigidities regarding the correctness of a concept. To elaborate, in our class, no answer was wrong; it was always a different perception but not wrong. Furthermore, the lectures were usually not about theories but about the practical application of concepts that would help us become better writers.
- Cohort size- The size of the cohorts genuinely varies but does not cross 20 students and we had 4 cohorts in our batch. Particularly in my cohort, there are 14-15 students, making the entire course extremely close-knit. We not only interacted outside the course but also had a space to discuss everything we learnt. During the time we met, we spent most of the time together as a cohort, which brings me to my next point on networking.
- Networking opportunity- However, most of the networking was indeed done when we met for the course in July, the way the course is structured also provides countless networking opportunities. Let me explain: during the weekly tasks that we complete online, every student is repeatedly motivated to read and comment on the work of other students. This results in gaining different perspectives, and finding a safe space for interaction with peers.
Dislikes
- Leave structure- Even though the course is mindful of students working alongside the course, there are only two breaks given to the students- one after the first year ends and one during the Christmas holidays. The rest of the year, the students have to do weekly units with tasks and assignments after the end of the entire module, making the course slightly on the hectic side.
- Future help- As students usually enrol in such courses with the expectation of receiving resources such as agents and jobs, the availability of those is bleak. Even though one can connect with the tutors and ask for such materials, they are not formally provided. Furthermore, job and placement actively take place but as a student of a blended course without a visa, it is extremely unlikely to secure one with ease.
- Alumni network- Even though the University of Oxford has robust alumni, there is a lack of a platform for students to connect with these alumni. Better opportunities can be provided where students get easy access to the contacts in order to increase their network.
Scholarship
- I did not receive any scholarships, but there are scholarships and student finance options available. However, student finance usually covers students from the UK itself.
- One of my batchmates received a student finance which was basically a loan for one year at Oxford.
- When it comes to international students, they are more likely to secure a scholarship from the home government as the scholarship options for international students for the particular course are bleak.
Likes
- I get to take courses only in my major which enables me to specialize early on.
- Bachelor's degree is awarded in 3 years with an optional masters in the 4th year which means I save a lot of money and can start working sooner with more qualifications.
- One on one tutorials two to three times a week with professors who have a lot of research experience enables me to learn the course material in greater depth.
Dislikes
- Unable to take courses outside my major but I chose Oxford specifically because I was sure I wanted to do only Computer Science in college.
- Sports facilities are decent but because everybody is academically focused there is not much investment in the sports teams.
- No investment in the infrastructure and most of the laboratory buildings and even the CS department has outdated infra that should be upgraded considering the amount of money they receive.
Scholarship
- There are no scholarships or financial aid available for any international students in the UK.
- The only bursaries and need-based financial aid is available for UK citizens.
- There are no merit scholarships and the only one that used to exist for IMO Gold Medallists was removed this year. Hence it is important to be able to cover all your expenses on your own.
Likes
- It is a renowned university. I liked the tutorial system - groups of 2-4 students being taught by a professor after the main lectures. I chose maths because it always felt natural and enjoyable to me.
- The course material, the gothic architecture, department facilities, the area, the food.
Dislikes
- The accommodation and its facilities, wifi, and the fact that the course is not as engaging as it could be (e.g. with more projects, in-person presentations, group activities)
Overview
The terms are fast-paced and highly academic. Even though sometimes the academic load can get high, it was always manageable for me. The problem sheets favor quality over quantity. As for other social activities, there are lots of opportunities to join clubs and societies, little social events in your college and also your subject department. Lots of talks and workshops. We have formal dinners every now and then where you dress up. The exams are also traditionally taken and you must wear formal clothing.

- Prestige and great faculty along. Additionally, Oxford University is very different from any university in terms of culture.
- The friends/classmates, the city, the buildings/infrastructure, the accommodation.
Dislikes
- The Admin, the weather.
Overview
Admin is not really great, it is not very systematic. But otherwise you meet a lot of smart people. I never thought I would enjoy going for debates but we have many debates at the Oxford Union where esteemed speakers from around the world come to exchange thoughts and ideas. The formal dinners let you explore the different colleges across Oxford University. There is almost no medical help available unless it is fatal so carry medicines/bandages etc.
Scholarship
nope
Overview
The candidates need to pass IELTS with a minimum score of 7 and minimum 100 in TOEFL. You apply through UCAS, as for any other university. The full information is contained in the University's Undergraduate Prospectus.To become a student at Oxford you need to be accepted by a particular college, though you apply through a central admissions system. If you don't know which college to name as your preference you can make an open application: details of this are also in the undergraduate prospectus. Candidates are shortlisted for interview on the basis of their academic record and promise, as detailed in the selection criteria. Interviews take place in December.
Overview
I chose Oxford University for obvious reasons as it is top-ranked, and I needed foreign accreditation to progress in my teaching career. Plus, it was a distance learning program so I was able to study while I worked. It also had a residential module which gave me an opportunity to meet my peers from all over the world. Also, since the ratio of instructors to students is very low. Only 13 fellows were admitted each year, making it easy for professors to give individual attention to each student.
Scholarship
No, I didn't receive any scholarship.
Overview
Oxford is best for my chosen course. It is one of the only courses in the world that lets students gain practical experience in micromanipulation, in vitro maturation and embryo biopsy.
Scholarship
No
Overview
