PGCert in Historical Studies at Oxford

After some thought, I decided to apply for this course at the last moment.

Within six days I had my transcripts and references collected (I'm glad they said yes on such short notice) and ended up paying the application fee and submitted it three minutes before the deadline! (ADHD superpower)

Anyone done this course or know anyone that has?

I applied in March as well and had my interview the beginning of April! Have you received a decision yet?

It was quite long - the writing sample, essays and getting all my referees together. I got invited to interview 1 month after submission and then found out I was accepted one month after that! Just started coursework this week :smile:
