English is the language of instruction for all programmes offered at Oxford and it is mandatory that all theses or examination papers are written in English. The University has approved both a standard and a higher level of required ability in English and departments may select which is most appropriate for the individual research programme of study concerned. For all taught programmes the higher level of required English will be mandatory. If your first language is not English, you must supply suitable evidence (an original certificate that is not more than two years old and issued by the responsible body) that you have reached the relevant standard before you may be offered a place. The University recognises only certain English tests and these requirements are set out in the table below. See following website for more detail:

The Land Agent's and Accommodation Office is responsible for the letting and management of University Housing. We have various sites and properties throughout Oxford, ranging from study bedrooms to purpose built sites housing singles, couples and families. See http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/accommodation/ for more details. Details of accommodation provided by individual Colleges are available on their own websites.
The normal minimum qualification to be eligible for admission as a graduate student at Oxford is the completion of a Bachelor's degree with a first or upper second class honours or the international equivalent (see www.naric.org.uk for advice on how international degrees compare). However, previous academic excellence is key and students who are accepted for graduate study at Oxford tend to have been those who achieved the very highest results of their graduating class.
Specific entry requirements for your programme are detailed in the relevant subject sections of the prospectus or, of course, you may contact the department directly.
Not all programmes will require a first degree in the same subject area and there are some courses, in particular some of those offered by the Department of Continuing Education, which will take relevant experience or alternative backgrounds into consideration.
