graduate degrees on offer at Oxford
120+ doctoral research degrees Oxford’s main doctoral degree is called a DPhil (our name for the PhD), and usually takes between three and four years to complete. Working closely with an academic supervisor who oversees their studies, students focus on a specific research project to produce a thesis that represents a significant and substantial piece of work. Students are assessed on the basis of this thesis and an oral examination called a viva voce. After completing their DPhil, research students frequently pursue academic careers or careers requiring advanced research skills.
DPhil Doctor of Philosophy = PhD MSc(R) Master of Science by Research
‘One of the key requirements for research students is to come up with a project, which needs to be a good combination of what is interesting, novel and ambitious, and what is doable.’ Professor Anton van der Merwe, Director of Graduate Studies, Medical Sciences Division
Your supervisor will help you to devise a programme that allows you to realise the full benefits of the resources and intellectual community in Oxford. They will meet you regularly to stimulate your thinking and provide guidance about how to approach, implement and report on your research. Students in the experimental sciences often collaborate with their supervisor on shared laboratory work in a research team. The Medical Sciences Division and Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division offer structured, four-year DPhil courses in specific subject areas through various Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs), Doctoral Training Centres (DTCs) and Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs). Students receive training, taking various intensive courses or rotations in different laboratories, before concentrating on a specific research project from their second year onwards.

Application Guide Visit www.graduate.ox.ac.uk/apply to see our online Application Guide for detailed information about application deadlines, supporting materials, and full guidance for completing and submitting your application form.
Applying Application deadlines The University has a number of application deadlines throughout the year so check the online course page to see which deadlines apply for the course you are interested in. Every course has a main application deadline in January that you will need to apply by if you want to be considered for most of Oxford’s scholarship schemes:
Friday 9 January 2015 Courses offered by the Medical Sciences Division, the Department of Computer Science, the Faculty of Philosophy, the Department of Politics and International Relations and the Saïd Business School.
Friday 23 January 2015 Courses offered by all other departments and faculties.
26
Some courses may accept applications for the other two main deadlines (on Friday 21 November 2014 and Friday 13 March 2015) and after the main deadlines if funding or places are still available. Some also offer separate application deadlines for specific studentships so check online for full coursespecific information.
Essential Requirements A first or strong upper-second class undergraduate degree, which is roughly equivalent to 3.5–3.8 GPA (under the US 4.0 system)
You will need to submit a full application before the deadline to be certain to be considered – at the very least this will include your application form, CV (resume), research proposal or statement of purpose, an academic transcript and academic references (letters of recommendation). Use the checklist on the next page to help you get your application in on time.
For guidance on how international degrees compare, you can take a look at the UK NARIC website (www.naric.org.uk). Some courses, particularly some of those offered by the Department for Continuing Education, will take relevant experience or alternative backgrounds into consideration, as set out in their selection criteria.
and a number of requirements specific to your course, listed under Selection Criteria on the online course page.
Courses Our website has full information about all graduate courses and how to apply. It includes links to departmental websites and advice on how to contact the department if you have any specific questions about course content, research projects or your academic suitability. www.graduate.ox.ac.uk/courses
English language requirements If your first language is not English, or if your first language is English but you are not a national of the UK, Ireland or a majority Englishspeaking country recognised by the UK Home Office, you will need to demonstrate your ability to study in English. Evidence needs to be in the form of a certificate of an English language test taken within two years before your course starts.
The table below shows the accepted tests and required scores for admissions and visa purposes. Please check the online course page to determine whether your course requires Standard or Higher scores. You can apply before you have taken your test although you will need to make sure you send on your results as soon as they are available.
Standard Additional overall score requirements
IELTS 7.0
Higher Additional overall score requirements
Minimum 6.5 per 7.5 component
TOEFL ibt 100 Minimum component 110 (internet-based) scores: • Listening – 22 • Reading – 24 • Speaking – 25 • Writing – 24 Cambridge Certificate C B of Proficiency Cambridge Certificate A in Advanced English
Minimum 7.0 per component Minimum component scores: • Listening – 22 • Reading – 24 • Speaking – 25 • Writing – 24
Assessment of applications After each application deadline, the department evaluates all complete applications received for that deadline against the published selection criteria and in comparison with each other. If you receive an offer from your department your application will then be forwarded to a college for consideration against the selection criteria published on its website. You will be guaranteed a college place if you are successful in obtaining an offer from your department, although if you specified a preferred college this may not be at that college. Please note that some colleges accept students for certain courses only and the offer of a college place does not necessarily mean that you will be guaranteed college accommodation.

Apply early The University receives a very high volume of applications in the days leading up to the deadline. Therefore, we very strongly recommend that you prepare and submit your application as early as possible.

A matriculated student at Oxford University is a member both of the University and of one of its constituent colleges or permanent private halls. The two relationships are governed by separate, though interlinking, contracts. The University will deliver a student’s chosen course in accordance with the descriptions set out in the relevant online course page at www.graduate.ox.ac.uk/courses. However, where courses or options depend on placement at another institution or on specialist teaching, availability in a given year cannot be guaranteed in advance. The University also reserves the right to: vary the content and delivery of courses; to discontinue, merge or combine options within courses; and to introduce new options or courses. Changes in course provision may arise from desirable developments in the relevant subject or alterations in teaching
practice and/or facilities, as well as from causes such as resource constraints or staff movements. Changes in course provision may occur either before or after admission, but will take account of the reasonable expectations of any student admitted to or engaged on a specific course. In the unlikely circumstance of the University deciding to make substantial and material changes to a course after acceptance of a place by a student, the student will be able to withdraw from that course. Please note that any dates which may be given to students for the sitting of examinations or the notification or publication of results are estimates only. If the University is prevented from meeting those dates by adverse circumstances beyond its control, the University will take all reasonable steps to put alternative arrangements in place as quickly as possible, and to keep students informed.
