Written Work
For English, History, Philosophy and Theology, and Theology and Religion you will need to send written work as part of your application. Guidance on the submission of written work and a downloadable copy of the cover sheet is available.
The deadline for submitting written work is 10 November. Each piece of work you submit should sent as one multi-page PDF file (including cover sheet) to registrar@mansfield.ox.ac.uk. If you are unable to scan and email your written work, you can submit it in hard copy, single-sided and not stapled, to the Admissions Office, Mansfield College, Mansfield Road, OX1 3TF. Please ensure that you use adequate postage, and do also bear in mind that work we have received via post cannot be returned.
Shortlisting
Subject tutors review each application before deciding on a shortlist in late November or early December. Tutors then interview the shortlisted candidates, usually in early to mid December. We will contact you as soon as we have made a decision about your application, and we will try to give you as much notice as possible. We will also notify candidates who have not been shortlisted at the same time. Please check your inbox and junk inbox for emails.
If you have not heard from the College by a week before the scheduled interview date, please contact us on registrar@mansfield.ox.ac.uk or 01865 282920. The interview timetable along with further information about interviews at Oxford is available.
Information for Interview Candidates
Further guidance will be sent to you about the format of your interview in your interview invitation. In the meantime, please have a look at the University website for more information about what the interview might be like.
Decisions
All decisions will be sent out by email on Tuesday 9 January 2024. Candidates will also receive a UCAS track update on the same day.
