Graduate Admissions & Funding
The effectiveness of our admissions procedures and the attractiveness of the funding packages which we are able to offer applicants are of key importance to the recruitment of the ablest graduate students at national and international level, where Oxford is in fierce competition with the world's best universities. Success in this area is crucial to the maintaining the pre-eminent global position of the University and its colleges.
The Graduate Admissions and Funding Office responds to the challenges of two top strategic priorities within the University's 2008 Strategic Plan, namely further improving Oxford's graduate admissions processes and developing better funding packages for graduates, so that in both areas we offer the very best services and opportunities available internationally. The Office supports the Graduate Admissions Committee and Education Committee, as well as Conference's Graduate Committee.
The Office's work spans four broad areas:
- Developing and co-ordinating Oxford’s processes for recruiting and admitting all our graduate students in support of departments, faculties and colleges
- Advancing a marketing strategy to enable the recruitment of the highest-calibre graduate students
- Managing a portfolio of over 50 scholarship schemes worth £13 million per year and working with the Oxford Thinking Campaign to develop and implement new graduate scholarships
- Co-ordinating and publicising university-wide funding opportunities, and providing funding advice to applicants and the collegiate university
