Official Oxford 2022 Postgraduate Applicants Thread

Wonder if it's because I'm doing it part-time - will PM you!

Did the timeline to request an application assessment score end?

Hey! I found out that I was given college place but I didn’t receive the email! Maybe the same happened to you so email the graduate administration or your department to double check :-)

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

I just tried and you need to have it before you can submit the application. I still haven't got mine either or received a reply from my department administrator about whether it is being processed. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get the Visa once you've applied?

Yes, you need a CAS number before you can apply, however you can start preparing your visa application without submitting. This could be a good idea as the form is lengthy and gathering some of the information (e.g. your detailed travel history) could take time.

The wait times have shifted around based on the official Gov UK website. The standard processing time tends to be 3 weeks but I have seen them change it to six weeks, then four weeks...lots of delays due to the Ukraine visa scheme.

I have applied for my visa and am at the two week mark, found the whole process very draining.

Haven't heard from any scholarships so I might withdraw my place at Oxford as I can't afford to go. I'll take a year out. I've just done an MA at Cambridge so might give the Oxford one a miss and get a job for a year instead. Feel very conflicted.

From what I understand, Both Cam and oxford offer scholarships/funding, so when you apply, you tick the " seeking for funding" box, and they consider whether to fund you or not? Can anyone confirm if its true, and on what basis do they give scholarships. Because, I really wanted to apply, but money is a big issue.
PS: International student here.

Just got an acceptance to the MSc in Clinical & Therapeutic Neuroscience

I have received an offer for the DPhil in Population Health. For those waiting for a response, keep the faith.

Scholarships are given based on academic merit with some for specific nationalities/subjects! Definitely apply, and then if you don't get funding you just don't attend! Totally valid and the case for a lot of people I applied for my master's twice, getting funding in the second round (at Cambridge not Oxford though, no funding from Oxford) and then applied for PhD this year at Ox and got in without funding so will not go! Might give it another shot next year

AfOx news, anyone?
