Completely depends on your course.

Should I hold off on sending the financial declaration form if I'm still waiting to hear back about scholarships? What are the chances of getting a scholarship for a taught master's maths degree for average household income UK student anyway?

I just got my offer letter from Keble.
Did you get your allocation too?
OMMS student right?

Hi, congrats to everyone who has received offers! I'm still waiting to hear back from my DPhil for Comp Sci application on March 1st. Is anyone else in the same boat? I emailed admissions for any updates and if I should've gotten an interview offer already. I'm guessing if I'm not being interviewed I will be rejected...is that a correct assumption?

For anyone wondering about DPhil updates I got a reply and it assuaged some of my concerns...the supervisor I asked for was on break when I applied:
The 8-9 weeks mentioned on the application pages is just a rough estimate, and at times the application process can take significantly longer, especially as some staff are currently on leave out of term time.
If further documentation is required, it will be requested from you and you will be notified if you are invited to interview.

So please do not be concerned that you haven’t heard anything, and try to be patient.

Thanks for posting this. I am at the 10 week mark now since application deadline and have not had any change on the portal so this is helpful. Though I am applying for a Masters in Math I hope the update will come soon.

i was at keble last year as an international student as well. it was my first choice. would highly recommend it. the college staff is very helpful, social life is extremely vibrant, and the community is very close knit- especially since the setting up of the HBAC. i hope you have a lovely experience!

Hiya! Congrats on Keble, it's a very popular college for postgrads with excellent accommodation and just overall good vibes from what I hear. And very impressive dining hall (the longest/largest of all the colleges I think?), if that's of any interest to you.Regarding scholarships for math - I am an international Mathematics DPhil admit and received a departmental scholarship a week after my offer. The deadline for accepting was two weeks after for me. Regarding those scholarships, you can definitely email the department to ask if you are being considered for any. I believe there's several non-departmental scholarships available as well, but don't know if the department can give you any info about your chances regarding those.

Hello, anyone doing the MSt in History of Art and Visual Culture? I got an offer from Regent's Park College, Oxford, wondering if anyone knows anything the college and the course! I also have offers from The Courtauld, UCL and NYU Institute of Fine Arts, and am currently on the fence for Oxford and The Courtauld. Any advice?

Hey guys! Quick question here.

My wife and I will need to find our own accommodation in Oxford for the next three years. My DPhill starts in Oct, any recommendation on how earlier should I arrive to Oxford to start looking for flats? Anyone I could speak to? Or any advice in general?

Thanks much 🙏

At Postgrad colleges have comparatively little impact on the experience (relative to undergrad). Regents is great but faculty comparison is how you should make your decision
