OFFA Targets

The University of Oxford has an agreement with the Office for Fair Access 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.

The targets agreed with OFFA, and the figures relating to Mansfield’s UK offer holders for 2017 entry, are as follows:

Target 1: increase the percentage of UK undergraduate students entering Oxford from schools and colleges that historically have had limited progression to Oxford to at least 14.5% in 2019-20.
Target for 2017-18: 13.5%

Mansfield offers for 2017: 32.9%

Target 2: increase the percentage of UK undergraduate students entering Oxford from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds (ACORN postcodes 4 and 5) to at least 9.5% in 2019-20.
Target for 2017-18: 8.7%

Mansfield offers for 2017: 22.9%

Target 3: increase the percentage of UK undergraduates entering Oxford from neighbourhoods with low participation in higher education (POLAR3 postcodes 1 and 2) to at least 13.0% in 2019-20.
Target for 2017-18: 11.5%

Mansfield offers for 2017: 25.7%

In addition, just under 25% of our UK offer holders had indicators of both educational disadvantage and socio-economic disadvantage.
