On the other hand, it says 'initial.'



That's what made me assume they were talking about the new Ertegun scholarships; that and the fact the article is about the grad scholarships.

However, the article's from the 1st of March, which seems a long time for the scholarships to have apparently gone unnanounced, especially when someone earlier in the thread said decisions were only made at the end of last week... :confused:


To be honest, I have no delusions that I'll be receiving the Ertegun, so I don't really see the point in me emailing him.

Hmmm, yes.

The deadline was 15 Feb though, no?

Might be me, but I reckon it would take a while longer to sort through apps.

My money is on post-clarendon. Could be wrong though.

I'll send an email tomorrow and let you know the response.
I gave them a ring today, most of the recipients have been decided on but they're having trouble allocating the last few, Podraig (sorry spelling) said everyone will be informed of the outcome in the next two days.
Thanks bookfaces!

Has anyone received any response from Politics Department? Last year, first monday of the last week of March was the exact day of announcements as far as I have known...
Thanks bookfaces, that's very helpful.

It depends on the credits system used but a UK masters is ordinarily 180 credits.

I think a 1-year UK master's is 90 ECTS; not sure if it's any different because the MSt is 9 months instead of 12, though...

Email Padraig (spelling?) perhaps?

I know this is a completely ridiculous thing to be nit-picking on but it's less likely to make me hungry than talking about kebabs. If you're talking about the guy from the Graduate Studies Office, he spells his name Pádraig. It's the Irish language version of Patrick and can also be spelled Padraig or Padraic. It's usually pronounced poor-ic. Occasionally, it's pronounced pod-rig. The most common diminutives used in Ireland are either Paddy or Podge. Now there for you.

Now, once I have some lunch please feel free to informing us about the food situation in Oxford. Knowing where to get a good kebab is definitely on my list of things to know about the place!

You're welcome! :smile: And thanks for letting me know the correct spelling Wasada, being half Irish I really should know!
@ WaSaDa.

No probs. I love a pedant!

I was close though, no?

Incidentally, I did know it was an Irish name, and that Patrick was the equivalent in English. But other than that--just memory. Which is bad at the best of times.

So, cheers!
P.S. I'm out of rep, but +1 :smile:

I love a pedant too! It is the Oxford applicants thread; you're in good company here.

Have you had lunch yet? Can I talk about the Christ Church pizza van (so good I've been caught eating on the pavement :eek: ) and the steaming aromatic bowl of onion soup at Maison Blanc (wonderful on a freezing winter's day).
Lol ^

Sh#t my rep is working again; is it the time difference perhaps? I'm in Aus...
*wait, it seems my +1 was already added to WaSaDa. I give up. TSR is wacky... or maybe it's just my mobile? Meh*
