    MSc Integrated Immunology (Oxford)
    Hello,

    I´m a student from Argentina (finishing my BSc degree with 1st). I´d like to know how competitive do you think this programme is and what do you think of its level. Are there any other programmes of this level in Immunology in other countries of Europe? (France, Germany, Italy, Spain?).

    Everything you could tell me will be of great help, so please feel free to write whatever you think of this MSc in Immunology! Thank you very much!

    Look at the Alumni page for information on what previous graduates have gone on to do. It is a very impressive list.

    With that do you mean that it is quite hard to get into? Even being an overseas student? (I´ve read from people coming from Greece, different universities in India, Indonesia, Lebanon, South Africa but I don´t think their undergraduate level is higher than ours).

    Any further suggestions will be happily welcome.

    Potentially. What the graduate destinations says is that the calibre of the students seems very high. We're probably not talking about comparing educational levels between different countries here, but choosing between very bright, articulate individuals drawn from across the world.

    I applied to this course with a first this year. I didn't get in, but I could certainly have been better prepared for the interview. Make sure you know everything you mention in your statement in great detail, as most of the questions revolved around this. They managed to catch me out on anatomy, which is not my strong point.

    You almost certainly will have to go through an interview.

    Great, I think I´ll try to get into the programme so and be prepared for the interview. My qualifications at college are something of 9.20 / 10 (I don´t know if it is a 1st, 2.1 or what, I´ll have to check that out). Do you think that with that is important or that relevant experience in the field should be important?
