University of Oxford (Graduate Admissions)

Speak to representatives from the University of Oxford's Graduate Admissions team about making a graduate application.

The University of Oxford has an outstanding global reputation for its teaching, research and contributions to society. We combine rich history and tradition with the innovative and forward-thinking approach of a modern university.

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021 rank Oxford as the best university in the world for the fifth year running, and the QS World University Rankings 2022 place Oxford as the second best university in the world, and the best university in Europe. 

Making up almost half of the University’s student body, graduate students are key to our academic community, and join our world-leading academics in tackling the most important questions we face today.

Admission to graduate study at Oxford is very competitive with requirements varying between programmes. However, in general, our academic departments look for students with the ability, enthusiasm, curiosity and commitment needed to pursue higher-level study. We welcome applications from students of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds.

We have high expectations of our graduate students, and we aim to provide a supportive and stimulating environment in which you can reach your full potential. This includes cutting-edge research facilities and unrivalled resources across the disciplines, as well as personal and welfare support, academic guidance and a sense of community throughout your time here.
