Applying to Oxford whilst studying a DIFFERENT subject, at another UK uni?

wjcsibelius

I'm not certain, but I can't see why not. Your present university probably won't thank you though. Also, I'm not sure how the Student Finance Company would define "first undergraduate degree" if you get into Oxford and want another loan, perhaps they could argue that it's in fact your second undergraduate degree, such that you'd be ineligible for a loan. Still, these are just ideas. Sorry I can't be more use.

It's not a second undergraduate degree unless you've actually received a qualification for the first one, though, otherwise no-one would ever be able to afford to change subjects after a year. If she does one year at another university and then goes to Oxford for a three-year course, she should be OK. If it's a four-year course, though, it may be tricky to get a loan for the final year, because I don't think you're normally eligible for more than four years' worth of funding.

I emailed them last week, still no reply :frown:

Who / what address did you email? :confused:

Edit: I could be more helpful and actually answer your question:

You can apply while you're studying at another university; Oxford doesn't have a policy against it like Cambridge does (even for applying for the same subject). Be prepared to justify why you're doing it, though, at some stage of the process like in your interview, should you get that far.

And yes, you would have to check with your regional authority the amount of funding entitlement you have remaining.

Hello! I think I know you! :p:

I don't know why you're assuming it's a she, if it's the person I think it is, then they're a he...

Cutesy avatar, uses smileys and apparently wants to do languages (which is a female-dominated subject overall, as far as I know) - in my book that adds up to 'more likely to be female'. :p:

Sorry if I got it wrong, though.

*Ahem* I'm a language student and use smileys, though I can't be bothered with an avatar :rolleyes:

But yes, they are male. :p:

'They'? Surely the whole point is that you know for a fact that he's a he? :p:

"He is male" is a tautology, and thus doesn't tell you anything new about the situation. I was trying to provide a non a priori statement about the OP.

Yes, but your reason for making that statement in the first place is that you do in fact have a priori knowledge, no? :confused:

It's not a priori that the OP is male. That the OP is male is not an essential property of the OP; it is logically possible that the OP could be female, therefore it is a synthetic statement to say that the OP is male.
