Oxford Postgraduate Offer Holders 2023

I really don't want to sound cool, I want to get a nice degree, but I guess that's out of the question. I swear this has to be worse than getting rejected, but maybe I am simply not cut for academia.

Hey guys, I am curious, has anyone been sent a criminal convictions declaration before his or her academic conditional requirements were met? Or does that only happen after?

Hello everyone, and congratulations on the offers!

I have accepted the offers for DPhil in Population Health and the Oxford Population Health studentship. My academic conditions are concerning the submission of my transcript of records directly from my previous uni and an English test.

Does anyone have any experience requesting for a waiver of an English test? I did my MSc in Oxford too (for which I previously submitted IELTS exam results), so I reckon that should be good enough grounds for a waiver.

Also which colleges have started sending out offers?

For a waiver, you need to have studied in the UK for at least 2 years. If that is not the case, you just need to submit your exam results.

Thank you for this! I got in touch with the Department to see if they would accept my IELTS scores (considered expired because I took them two years ago).

Hey, you can request for a waiver from Oxford, you meet the criteria

To request a language test waiver, you must have studied a degree-level course that is:
-at least nine months in duration
-full-time
-undertaken at a recognised institution where teaching and assessment throughout the course is entirely in English
-has been completed within 2 years of the start date of the course to which you are applying.

Unless you did more than 2 years ago, you can request a waiver with the argument that you meet these criteria.

Experience: I got it waived because I did my masters in at the University of Glasgow.

Hey! I also got offer for DPhil in Population Health. Did you receive your offer and studentship together?

Congratulations! Yes, the studentship came with the offer they sent about two weeks ago.

For anyone who has already received their college offer, was that as a result of the college being tied to funding?

What is the offer??

A 16 out of 20 for the average of my honours years. I’m at St Andrews so grades are different than other schools. It’s extremely unlikely for me to get there from a 15.7.

Have you tried talking to your department about your grading system? Did they just tell you to suck it up?

No. I spent the night crying and feeling sorry for myself. I am assuming that they are aware of how St Andrews grades and have looked at my transcripts to see this would be unlikely to be achieved. I’m taking it as a soft rejection.
