Official Oxford 2022 Postgraduate Applicants Thread

I'm having to make a big decision I'd love to get some strangers views on lol - I have offers at both Ox and Cam for my course and a scholarship to cover most of my course fees at both - heart was set on Oxford, but have now been given a 9,000 GBP scholarship at Cambridge to use on accomodation/living costs. I'd be using my own savings at Oxford. the course is fundamentally the same at both and both accomodate for my specific research interests, harder to get into Ox one though and theres a slightly smaller cohort. What would you do in my boat? Seems dumb to turn down a lot of free money but I do wonder if i'll always kick myself for not going to Ox?

Same 😅

Hello! I got an offer from department a month ago, and the admission team told me that the official offer would be sent from University later. But I haven’t received the official offer yet and it has been a month. I’m worried about the ATAS application as it requires a lot of time. Should I email the department or the central university admission team?

Yes email them in case !

omg hahaha 😅 - which dept are you in? I'd PM you but not sure how to do that!

I’m an MSc Education offer holder, wbu? Can you pm me? I wonder why college allocation is taking this long for some of us 😅

MSc Education as well

actually realised I can't seem to PM you so you might have to PM me instead!

Hello!
I was wondering if anyone received the OCIS scholarship?
It's the end of June already.

Do we need to have a CAS number before we apply for a visa or can we start the visa process prior?
