I'm from Thailand. I have roughly 8 yrs working experience. I'm currently working as a parliamentary staffer to an MP, but before that I had worked as a human rights researcher/ project manager. I did my bachelor in international relations and a master in development studies.

Hi! I’m applying from Australia with a background in strategy consulting with some not for profit experience too (4 years total experience). Have solid academics and a solid story but wondering if missing policy and government experience might be detrimental given most alumni I see on the website come from a policy background already

Good luck to everyone!

I am from India, and have an MPhil in planning and development already. I have some 7 years of experience, 3 of which were working with state govt on policy implementation. Aside from that I have worked with non profits and consulting firms. I also have recently started my own non profit, which I am hoping to take forward through this degree.

Hello! An offer from Oxford would be a dream come true. I’ve been doing so much research on Oxford while waiting that I ended up here🤣. I’m a recently graduated Brazilian Lawyer with a deep history in activism, having lead large peaceful demonstrations. So worried about everything though… Hope we all see each other in September! 😊

I've also applied for a DPhil! Does anyone know when we might hear back? Many other DPhil programmes have started (or finished) interviewing...

Good luck to everyone!
