Application procedure and application requirements

Admission to Oxford is competitive for all classes of students. Applicants for the Visiting Student Programme should normally have achieved a GPA of at least 3.5 at their home institution (the average is over 3.7)

The closing date for applications each year is 28th February, although it is recommended that students apply earlier (from January onwards), as applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants should complete an Application Form, Tutorial Request Form, and Regulations and Waiver Form (found in the Visiting Student Programme Prospectus) and send them along with a sample of written work to the Director of the Visiting Student Programme.  Arrangements should be made for an up-to-date copy of the applicant's Transcript, together with two academic recommendations, to be forwarded to the College by the same date. Successful applicants will be informed by early April.

Application material for the academic year 2010/11 is also available to download:

• Application Form
• Tutorial Request Form
• Fees
• Regulations and Waiver
