Oxford graduate applicants 2009/2010

just got a conditional offer and the condition is 'Achieving results from current study satisfactory to the Admissions Committee', does anyone know what this normally mean? whats satisfactory results? Thanks!

i dont think they will want a high first from you

A bit off-topic, but I don't know where else to ask this.

I know Oxford has set term dates for each year, but does anyone know how a postgraduates schedule would differ from the set term dates? Like, Michaelmas ends 5 December (I think), so does that mean graduate courses end that day as well, or will they continue on closer to Christmas? And what about other holidays? Are graduates normally expected to stay at Oxford for a majority of these holidays? (I'll be a one-year taught MSc, not a doctoral student, as I think this matters).

I'm just trying to figure out flights back to NY...

Hey guys..I received offer letter from St Hilda's today!

For those who received their offers earlier..how did you guys give preference for accommodation? I couldn't find much info from their website!

Thanks!!

This is what I got back from the Fees Clerk about the increase in fees. Unfortunately it seems that all courses will be doing it in due course. We are just unlucky to be starting when we are

The Social Sciences Division, which the Department of Politics and International Relations belongs to, is part way through the process of completely reviewing the fees charged for all Social Science programmes. One of the reasons for increases is that the government does not provide sufficient funding and the fee increase helps to ensure programmes are viable. Programmes that do not have sufficient funding are at risk from being withdrawn.

In order for a fee to be increased the department must submit a case to the Division which is in turn submitted to the appropriate University committee. A supported case must be made in order for a programme fee to be significantly increased.

are you kidding...

Do you happen to know if this increase is just for home/eu students or for overseas as well (because overseas students already pay much more!)?

And I'm doing "social science" with the internet institute, not with the politics department. Do you think it will be included?

You know what, I'm gonna e-mail them. This truly sucketh if I find I have to pay even more. Boo.
