Office for Students Targets (UK only)
The following figures refer only to UK residents who are being or have been educated in the UK.

The University of Oxford has an agreement with the Office for Students that it will aim to meet certain targets relating to the admission of students from under-represented groups, identified by indicators of educational and socio-economic disadvantage. More information can be found here.

As the targets relate to intake rather than offers, these figures are only preliminary. 

Target 1: to reduce the gap in participation rates for disadvantaged students (ACORN) to 3:1 by 2024-25.

Mansfield offers for 2020: 2.3:1

Target 2: to reduce the gap in participation rates for under-represented students (POLAR4) to 8:1 by 2024-25.

Mansfield offers for 2020: 3.4:1

(Note: Target 3 is not reported here, as ethnicity data is not available during the admissions process.)

Opportunity Oxford

As part of the University’s commitment to widening access to Oxford, a new academic programme will be launching in 2020 to help support offer holders from under-represented backgrounds.  Opportunity Oxford is designed to help students explore and develop high-level academic skills prior to starting their course.  For more information, please see the University website.

Mansfield made four Opportunity Oxford offers for 2020 entry.
