Congrats and good luck!

Thanks, Shwayb. And @ Anonymous #2, officially, interviews can still take place till late Feb / early March. If I were you, I wouldn't start losing hope until Tuesday or so. That's because these emails seem individually tailored, so they may take some time to schedule. And even then, I wouldn't completely consider it a lost cause until late Feb, though the chances get obviously slimmer over time. Outcome decisions come around mid-March.

Any news? MPhil Socio-Legal I've still got upload button available and 'ready for assessment'. Last we heard was interview invites being sent on Wednesday evening? I suppose with it being weekend admin staff are not working so won't hear anything until Monday.

Fingers crossed for you! Keep us updated.
Hi, has there been any feedback for DPhil Law? I believe DPhil Law does not typically carry out interviews.

Any news on any of the law courses? Two DPhil Socio-Legal candidates got interviewed. I’ve not heard anything regarding the MPhil Socio-Legal, so losing a lot of hope lol. Don’t think I’ve heard anything regarding DPhil Law for anyone wondering too

Ah yes, it's there. Not sure what that's supposed to mean. I got interviewed earlier this week.

How was it? Best of luck! Upload button is not a 100% guarantee but essentially can indicate a decision being made for your application (admission or rejection). If you’ve been interviewed it’s more waiting until March time for any email or upload button change. If I’m being honest I’ve lost all hope, this time last year I believe everyone had been interviewed so, I just haven’t heard a single person talk about the socio legal MPhil.

I thought the interview went well, thanks. General questions about the research proposal, funding, etc. Ah you're an MPhil applicant? I applied for DPhil. Timelines may vary.

Maybe they deal with the DPhil applicants first who knows. Regardless, it's good to hear the interview went well!
Received an invitation on the 21st for the interview next week (DPhil). Saw on another forum that a MPhil applicant received interview invitation last week.

Good luck! Full-time or part-time? Looks like they're still sending out invites and conducting interviews then. There's hope for all DPhil applicants.

Good luck and thanks for letting the thread know. Maybe they send a last batch out on 28th since they've been sending the invites on Wednesdays!
