Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it for international students to get into Oxford?

Oxford is extremely competitive for all applicants. Undergraduate acceptance rates are around 17% but vary significantly by course — Medicine and Law are closer to 5–8%. International students compete in the same pool as domestic applicants. Academic excellence is necessary but not sufficient; Oxford also values intellectual curiosity and independent thinking demonstrated through interviews and written work.

What is the Oxford tutorial system?

The tutorial system is Oxford's distinctive teaching method. Each week, students meet one-on-one (or in pairs) with a specialist tutor to discuss an essay they have written. This method develops critical thinking and argument far beyond standard lecture-based teaching.
