Help with submitting written work for Oxford

Original post by KieranThompson

Hi guys, once again I appreciate any help that is given.

Basically, I've applied for Music at Oxford but they also require written work that I would have to submit later. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the address that I would need in order to send the written work. The Oxford website said to look at its individual colleges, but I don't think that there is a college for music.

Can someone help me with this?

You would send it to the college you applied to, obviously. Are you sure you've applied to Oxford?

I've checked from my UCAS that the campus is "University (X)"

Is there an address for this I can find?

Read the page I linked you to.

Again, thanks for the help - but I had made sure to have read those pages before posting this thread.

Are they just referring to the main university? On my UCAS the course's campus wasn't a college

Oxford famously doesn't have a campus; it is a city centre university. Which college have you applied to?

My apologies for not being so knowledgeable about this field.

Is there anyone else that can help me without any sort of underlying satire? Would be greatly appreciated.

I can't remember whether the UCAS form states your college or not, but you must know which college you have applied to? Or have you made an open application? There is no main university - all applications are done via your college.

I'm not intending to be rude or satirical, I'm genuinely trying to help. I'm a current Oxford student.

Just tell us which college you are applying to, or whether it is an open application. Does that make any sense to you?

I just checked and you should have put a college in, there is not an option called "University" on mine. I would quickly ring up both Oxford and UCAS to find out what college they mailed it to

Perhaps you have applied to University College, in which case you should submit the work to the music admissions tutor there.

I'll see if that's the case.

I was thinking before hand that maybe I should be sending my written work to 'The Faculty Of Music' `?

You must, surely, know which college you have applied to? Or that you have made an open application?

Surely?

As above, there is a college called 'University College'. I think you would know if you applied to a particular college, but it could have been a mistake. Perhaps ring UCAS up? :smile:

It doesn't look as if they require written work at this stage: visit http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate_courses/applying_to_oxford/tests/index.html and look under 'music'. You will have to do some tests at interview, if you get one. Hope this helps.

Yes you do.

I'm seriously confused to why people are thinking I have no idea of my college, which is understandable.

Bottom line is, I followed the basic prodecure of applying for a course in a university.

- Read the course outlines, the requirements on the Oxford Music website (They also have no information regarding the college by the way)
- Applied for music at Oxford through the UCAS application form like everyone else, (regarding campsuses, only one option arose - which was 'University (X)'
