Official Oxford 2024 Postgraduate Applicants Thread

I have applied by the January deadline but haven’t heard back yet.

Same. Did you nominate a supervisor btw?

No because there were only 3 available people in the department, but all of them had expertise a bit out of topic of my proposal. But my project fits perfectly within the overall strand, so I will be waiting for their decision.

I ended up not nominating anyone because the person I think I could work with isn’t accepting new students this year, so my application was really more of a shot in the dark

Heyy, Did you also applied for Dpil IR

Not sure when the button disappeared, but it was at around 16:30 I got the email. What course are you applying to?

Does anyone know the procedure of a DPhil committee in International Relations?

From what I've been told, they have a centralized admissions process and supervisors have limited control.

TBH if you have got Distinction then it doesn't even matter if you nominate or not

I’m pretty sure most people who apply to Oxford have excellent grades. For DPhil programmes especially, supervisory fit really does matter a lot in my opinion, but here’s hoping

Have you also applied for Dphil IR

Yes

So if you don't mind telling me do you also have a distinction in Postgad, the reason behind my asking this is because I don't have distinction but do have a high merit, First class and a Pass although I do have publications, research projects, and work experience. Oxford Dphil IR website does say that every application will be evaluated according to its own merits but I just feel very dicy about it. It would be very helpful to know your opinion and also have you applied to any other universities as well?
