Undergraduate admissions and outreach

Admissions tests
We are very aware of the difficulty and disappointment some of our 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. Statements from departments following issues with the MAT, GAT, CAT and ELAT 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. 

The deadline for submitting requests for special consideration has now passed but if test centres or candidates would like to share their general feedback on Oxford's admissions test this year, please complete our feedback form before 20 November. 

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.
