Hello. I am a high school student from Turkey and am 18 years old. By the summer of 2014, I will have completed my first year of university studies in a Turkish university, and I will study computer science. Then, I intend to continue my studies in the Oxford university, as students from Turkey are required to complete at least a year of university studies in their home country before applying. However, it is imperative for me to win a scholarship to fund my studies abroad. How may I faciliate this and make it possible? Will my grades and scores from the first year of my university in my home country have an effect in this endeavor? In addition to information about winning a scholarship at the Oxford University, is there anything else I should worry about for studying there?

Also, in order to study two subjects at the same time (Computer Science and Physics) do I need two scholarships for them?

Thanks a lot for your interest.

Oxford only allow certain combinations - computer science and physics is not one of them. To see a list of their courses (of which you can only do 1 at a time...), see their website.

I am sure there is information about scholarships on their website.

It depends on which type of qualifications you did at school. There's a section on Turkish exams on our international qualifications page. If yours is one of the qualifications we can't accept, the first year of a Bachelors degree from another university could also be an acceptable alternative. But it depends on the course, and level/amount of Maths content in it. A more common approach is to take A-Levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB). I suggest you get in touch with us on undergraduate.admissions@cs.ox.a c.uk with more information about the first year of the course you're planning on doing and we can advise if it's something we'd be likely to accept.

Information on the financial support available to students is given here. The various options have different requirements so you'll need to look at each carefully.

As mentioned in a post above, you can't do a joint undergraduate degree in CS and Physics at Oxford. A list of our courses is given here.

If you look at the subject-specific information pages on the Oxford departmental websites you'll find lots of useful information about the application process, writing your UCAS personal statement, the aptitude test you'll need to sit, etc. For Computer Science it's here.

Thank you.
