Oxford History MSt/MPhil 2025 (all strands)

Hi, all!
I just wanted to make a dedicated thread for potential master's students in History this coming Fall. I applied right before the 7 Jan deadline (for the Intellectual History strand), and I have not heard anything back yet.
Best of luck to everyone!

Hi, I applied just before the deadline too - haven't heard anything back yet. Have you applied anywhere else?

Twin! And, no, I did not apply anywhere else. I have another research-related thing in the works, but it's not a degree program.

Finally found this thread!...... I am yet to hear anything, so it seems we are all in the same boat. FYI my application details are below:
Strand: Modern European History MSt
Research focus: Childhood in Nazi Germany
Date of submitted application: October 16th (for the January deadline)
College preference: Magdalen
Other unis applied for: Cambridge - Modern European History MPhil (Offer received January 20th)

I applied November 28 for an MPhil in US History and also have not heard back. I am hoping they get to me next week. Gotta apply for jobs if all this doesn't pan out!

Hey guys, thought I’d use the same format as @beant6464
Not sure I’ve seen anyone else for my course but would be cool to see if anyone else is also applying for this.
Strand: MSc Economic and Social History (focusing on regional British history and the Great Depression of British agriculture)
Date of submitted application: October 20th (for the Januarydeadline)
College preference: Pembroke
Other unis applied for: Cambridge - Modern EuropeanHistory MPhil (Offer received January 27th)

What’s the button that everyone is talking about on the main thread?

Hi guys,
I am a DPhil applicant, but seeing as no DPhil History thread exists, I shall post here!
Strand: U.S. History.
College preference: Pembroke.
I applied just before the January 7th deadline. I have a master's in history from LSE and am currently undertaking a master's in legal and constitutional studies at St Andrews.

Fellow DPhil applicants (or master's, if this applies), which supervisor(s) are you hoping to work with?

My project (looking at "vitalism" in Leibniz and Canguilhem) is in that odd interstice between intellectual history and history of science, so pinning down an advisor was/is/will be hard. I put down Rob Iliffe (we corresponded a bit, but I haven't heard from him since December), Alex Aylward, Howard Hotson, and Avi Lifschitz as people who might be interested in the project. I contacted Paul Lodge (Philosophy), who's a Leibniz expert, but he said that he couldn't advise (even conjointly) across Faculties
