Oxford 2016/17 Postgraduate

I'm already here! When are you coming?

Do you know if there's a facebook group or somesuch for this year's incoming postgrads?

Has anyone completed the registration? Should the student record section disappear when the registration is completed or is it a bug? Thank you!

Just wanted to pass on some advice an outgoing masters student wanted to give to new grads who didn't do undergrad at Oxford! She said: don't be afraid to speak up in seminars and classes! Don't be afraid to be wrong! She said that in the tutorial system here you often get used to being wrong in front of people very quickly, but many graduate students in her classes who hadn't been through the tutorial system were often very quiet and wouldn't speak or contribute for fear of making a fool of themselves. I know the imposter syndrome is real, but don't be afraid of putting your ideas out there and making yourself heard! Something I'll remember as well even though I've been here for four years

Could you please message me (here or direct) when you find out? International calls from here are quite expensive.

I'm doing Computer Science. Yourself?

Dear fellow post grads,
I am thinking of applying to Oxford to do my Ma. I have taken two years out, although I did achieve a 2.1 in my degree. However, I have autism and look I don't want to sound racist, but that whole thing about not looking people in the eye so therefore you're racist really ticked me off because I have great difficulty with social skills, anyway I just wanted to know if that's still a thing at Oxford. Thank you very much.

It shouldn't be a problem at all I believe the article you're referring to was corrected by the authors once people pointed out that autistic people struggle to make eye contact - I know a few students on the autism spectrum here and they have never been accused of or perceived as being racist!
