Oxford MSc IHTM Interview Invitation Timing

Hello everyone,

I've applied for the MSc in International Health and Tropical Medicine at the University of Oxford (December deadline). I've seen that some candidates received interview invitations in mid-December. However, I have not heard back yet.

For those familiar with the process from previous cycles, were there further interview invitation waves after the Christmas break for December deadline applicants? Or does the department typically send rejections at this stage to those not shortlisted?

Applied as well, and also haven't heard back yet. Will update here in case I do.

I’m also curious about this. Also haven’t heard back and will update if I do. Starting to think I won’t though

Me too! But the course is still open for applications so you never know. Good luck!

I just received my interview invitation on the 19th of this month, so they are still on the process. I hope your invitations come soon.

Anyone with any idea on the kind of questions asked in the interview? How might we best prepare?

Hello everyone!
Is someone else still waiting to receive an interview invitation?
I haven't heard from Oxford yet (applied for December deadline) and I'm trying to understand if that means rejection or if the process is still ongoing.

Hello!
Yes I’m also still waiting for a response… I assumed because theyre still taking applications we wouldn’t hear back until they closed. But I can see others have heard back. When did you submit your application? Maybe it’s something to do with how early you submitted, I submitted Nov25th.

"But I can see others have heard back." - Do you mean offers or interviews? I applied Dec 2nd, invited to interview Jan 13th, interviewed the following week, and have not heard back since. Has anyone got an offer so far?

I didn't hear back yet, however, after the interview they said they will be in touch within a month, so there's still some time.

I mean interviews. I don’t think anyone has received an offer from what I can see.
