Hi, may I ask how you found out that not all applicants received this email?

There is another thread Oxford Msc Global Governance and Diplomacy 2026/27, someone said they did not receive the e-mail and applied to another college, I did receive it but did not apply for Catz. If anyone has more info please share! I don't think those who received it have any advantage tho

The way they formulated it was strange I found 'The fact that I’m forwarding this to you does not mean you will definitely be offered a place on the course you have applied for' and later 'All students who are applying for a new graduate course in 2026/27 are also eligible to apply, including those that do not yet have a confirmed college offer'. Food for thought I guess. Also I am not sure that all ODID courses would get the answer on the 20th, some should probably arrive before, perhaps between now and the 20th but perhaps we should email the admissions office to stop stressing! I just want an answer at this point 🙂

Yess the wait is excruciating. Just rip off the bandaid I feel

I applied to a different college too, but received the email. Agree, I dont think there would be any advantage.

I applied to the MPhil Development studies (December deadline) as well as the MSc Economics for Development (Jan deadline) - also received Catz scholarship email which made me **** a brick when I saw the email tagline come through! Hoping that decisions aren't running late.

Hi! I applied for Msc in Global Governance and Diplomacy too! I also got St Catherine's email, I wonder how that works in case we get it cause I think colleges are allocated later on? (at least for undergrad, idk about the Msc). I'm quite nervous tho lol, I thought answers would be between 27th Jan - 10th Feb but they may be running late

How did you calculate this?

It says on their website 8-10 weeks post-deadline! The deadline was 2nd of December so results should be out between those dates (I don't know tho because the St Catz email said 20th Feb)

The results for the December deadline generally come out 8-10 weeks prior to the deadline NOT inclusive of the December Holidays which likely consumed 2 weeks. That is why on and around Feb 20 is a realistic period to hear results.

Oh that makes sense! Did not really think about that. Well let's hope for news soon! Good luck to all :smile:

Apparently if your upload button disappears, then it means a decision has been made about your application 🤷🏻*♀️ I was confused as first too, but it is under ‘Full Application Details’ > ‘Supporting documents’. Then you scroll down and see the upload button!

Any updates yet? Tomorrow marks the end of the 10th week. They said the 20th in the St. Catz email, but I’m not sure why it’s taking them a while to make a decision😭

Nothing. Can click on the upload button at the moment. Does it make sense to drop in a mail on 11th Feb or should we wait till the 20th?

Nothing here too.. I’m still waiting + still see the upload button 😕 I know last year then sent an email but I’m unsure whether tomorrow counts as 10th week because taking into account the 2-week holiday period it would be the 24th… if you do send an e-mail update us!

Hi everyone! I’ve checked other Oxford MSc related threads and can’t find any evidence that the upload button disappearance still works this year. Does anyone here have any insights? Is there any point checking the button at all?

They stated in the application confirmation email that it would be 8 to 10 weeks after the application deadline, so I would assume that does not include their holidays. No?

Some people said not as they told us around the 20th in St Catz email :/

as of today (11/2) my upload button for MPhil Development Studies has disappeared in supporting documents - anyone else with the same? no email yet - can someone point me to somewhere where it said that this means a decision has been reached? Thank you and best of luck to everyone!
