1. Application Deadlines

• The same deadlines apply to both UK and international applicants.
• Check the specific course page for the relevant deadlines.

2. Entry Requirements

• Each course specifies its minimum academic requirements in UK degree classifications and US GPA equivalents.
• Applicants with non-UK qualifications (e.g., from Bangladesh) can compare their degrees using Oxford's international qualifications guidance.
• No need to convert your grades yourself; Oxford will assess them.

3. English Language Requirements

• Applicants whose first language is not English may need to demonstrate English proficiency.
• Courses require either a Standard or Higher level of English.
• Test scores may be submitted later if required.

4. Costs of Studying

• Costs include:
  • Course tuition fees
  • Living expenses in Oxford
• Fee information is available on each course page.

5. Scholarships and Funding

• Admission does not automatically include funding.
• Applicants should begin searching for funding early.
• Oxford offers scholarships, grants, and funding opportunities for eligible students.
• External scholarships should also be explored.

6. Visa and Immigration

• International students usually require a UK Student Visa.
• Some science, technology, medicine, and engineering courses may require additional clearance through the Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS).

7. Application Form

• International applicants complete the same online application form as UK applicants.
• Oxford does not work with educational agents; applicants must prepare and submit their own applications.

8. Supporting Documents Required documents generally include:

• Official academic transcript
• Academic references
• Personal statement/research proposal (depending on the course)
• Any additional course-specific documents

9. Application Fees Research Courses (DPhil, MSc by Research, CDT, etc.) £20 | Taught Courses (MSc, MPhil, MSt, PGDip, PGCert, etc.) £75
10. Fee Waivers

• Applicants residing in low-income countries may qualify for an application fee waiver.
• Refugees and displaced persons may also be eligible.
• Bangladesh may qualify under certain Oxford fee-waiver criteria, so it is worth checking before applying.

The application fee is relatively small (£20 for research degrees), but securing funding for tuition and living expenses is the most important part of the planning process.
