Typically Oxford Interview results are communicated to the applicant in early January after the Interviews in December. If you receive an offer from Oxford, like with all other universities, your offer will either be conditional or unconditional. Generally, for those who are applying in their last year of Sixth Form, i. International students may also be asked to fulfil requirements for proficiency in English.
It is also worth for any students who are sitting international qualifications i. For those who have completed their pre-university studies, perhaps those who took a gap year or applied later, it is possible that you will receive an unconditional offer for the Oxford Interview results. Congratulations, your place will therefore be assured once such an offer is accepted by you. The decision may be communicated by a letter from the college handling your application, or less likely by email.
This could still be conditional or unconditional, but all it means is that the college at which you have a place has not yet been confirmed. It is still an assured place subject to meeting the requirements if conditional and a college will be confirmed for you once you receive the results of your examinations. For those who had a conditional offer, once you receive A-Level, International Baccalaureate or Scottish Higher results which meet the offer criteria, and you have accepted the place on UCAS, your place will be confirmed.
If you are unsuccessful in the Oxford Interview, or if you do not meet the criteria set out in their offer from Oxford then you will unfortunately not be able to gain a place at Oxford through clearing as the university does not participate in this system. Instead, there are options to apply again the following year or to select a different university as your firm choice.
Good luck with your Oxford Interview! Worried about how you will score in the Oxford Interview? You should also find out if your college or sixth form is offering any sessions for students preparing for Oxbridge interviews.
Some schools run formal courses for potential Oxbridge candidates that you can sign up for, and other schools will be more than willing to offer their help, even if they don't run anything formal. It is very hard to simulate an accurate Oxbridge interview as they can be difficult to predict since so many different tutors do them. It's difficult to know what to expect, so mock interviews are really there as a way to improve your confidence and get you used to the idea of thinking on the spot.
If you are interested in a mock interview your school may provide one. There are also companies offering mock interview for a fee, but it is worth bearing the following points in mind:. Being nervous before heading into an interview is completely normal.
You should also try to be yourself. Remember that whilst Oxbridge interviews are an important part of the selection process, they are not everything. Your academic results, personal statement and referees, and any Oxbridge tests you may take, are also taken into consideration. Regardless of how your interview went, go out and treat yourself to lunch or dinner or anything else nice that raises the spirits!
You may find it difficult not to keep going over what you said in the interview, but it's too late to do anything about it now, so just try to put your feet up for a bit.

Preparation and knowing what to expect is your best chance of aceing the Oxbridge interview, so to get started, you should: Make notes on WHY you are applying for the course. It may seem obvious, but if you can put this into words as best you can, the more it will help you during the interview. Check the course syllabus. While you don't have to memorise every module, it's a good idea to at least know what you'll be covering in the first year.
Read around your subject and think critically and analytically about books and articles you have read. Check you are up-to-date with any recent developments by reading the news, journals, or magazines covering your field. Read your personal statement. Some tutors may refer to it at some point during the interview, so this is your opportunity to check you haven't lied anywhere on your personal statement.
It will look bad if you're asked about something you've read or done, but actually haven't! Take a copy of your personal statement with you to the interview and be prepared to talk about anything in it. It is not usually possible to know the outcome any earlier since applications are assessed comparatively, against all other applicants. However, if you need to know the outcome earlier so you can make a decision ahead of a deadline set by another institution, you can contact the academic department to ask if this is possible.
If more than ten weeks have passed since your application deadline date and you have not received a decision, or if you have any questions about the progress of the academic assessment, please contact the academic department directly via the contact details on each course page.

Applications are academically assessed against the entry requirements for the course and relatively in terms of the quality of previous academic excellence and future potential in comparison with the applications received from other candidates for that course.
The University seeks to admit the very best candidates who apply for the courses it offers. The entry requirements for each course and the number of applications and places available are provided on our course pages.
Meeting the entry requirements may not be sufficient to guarantee a place and competition for places is very strong. Departments receive many more excellent applications than they have places available, so it is important that you take care over your application to best illustrate your academic achievement and future potential.
The University of Oxford and its colleges seek to admit students of high academic ability and potential. Students are selected for admission without regard to gender, marital or civil partnership status, disability, race, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, sexual orientation, age or social background.
Decisions on admission are based solely on the individual academic merits of each candidate and the application of selection criteria appropriate to the course. Admissions procedures will be kept under review to ensure compliance with this policy. If you are applying to a course with college membership and were accepted by the academic department, you are guaranteed a college place.
You can see whether there are colleges associated with your course on your course page.

You will usually find out which college will be part of your offer around 8 to 10 weeks after receiving your offer from the academic department. Once you are accepted by a college, you will not be considered by any other colleges.
If you have been accepted to a course with college membership then, once you have been accepted by a college, you will be notified directly by that college by email. College decisions will not be displayed in Graduate Applicant Self Service. If you chose a college in your application and the college is not able to accept you then you will be notified as early as possible, often around 4 to 6 weeks after the departmental decision date , and you will be automatically considered by other colleges.
