Q1. Are you more likely to get a place for graduate study at Oxford if you can guarantee to fund yourself if you have to, or if the board thinks your application is likely to secure funding?
Final acceptance, after an offer is made, is conditional on proof of adequate funding. The initial decision to make an offer of a place is taken on academic grounds, without a prior judgement as to the eventual likelihood of your securing funding.
Q2. What happens if I get a place at Oxford, but am unable to secure funding?
Unfortunately, those who cannot secure funding, and are unable to support themselves by other means, cannot be accepted.
Q3. What sources of graduate funding does Oxford provide? How can I find out deadlines for applications for scholarships and other grants?
Most colleges have a number
of scholarships which can assist
with the cost of study, though
these are always highly competitive
and may be restricted by subject
area or country of origin.
Details of some may appear
on our scholarships page, and
a more comprehensive list can
be found in the University's Graduate
Prospectus;
the University
Gazette announces deadlines
during term time and also publishes
a supplement at the beginning
of the year which contains
details of university prizes.
