Undergraduate admissions and outreach

Admissions tests
We are very aware of the difficulty and disappointment some of our UK applicants will have experienced through technical problems with their online tests this year. Candidates and test centres should have received our apology directly but if you haven't yet seen this, please do read it. Any statements from subject departments about the use of their admissions tests this year can be found on the individual test pages. Admissions tests are only one part of our undergraduate admissions process and we use a range of information, including individual circumstances, to help us assess academic potential. 

Schools and test centres should let us know via the Special consideration form if something affected their student/s performance during their Oxford admissions test. They can do this at centre level or on behalf of individual candidates and the extended deadline for submission is 6pm on Thursday, 2 November. 

If test centres or candidates would like to share their general feedback on Oxford's admissions test this year, please complete our feedback form. The feedback form should not be used for requesting special consideration for candidates. 

We provide step-by-step support for all our applicants. Our 2024-entry digital prospectus provides you with a quick and digestible overview of core information while more detailed admissions guidance can be found in our Guide for applicants.  We recommend that you sign-up now for our Choosing Oxford newsletter for step-by-step support with your application as well as some fun insights into student life here.  You might also like to watch our Official Video Guides. Details of other opportunities for you to explore student life at Oxford can be found in Increasing Access and in our outreach calendar.
