Taking out private health insurance on top of this is a matter of individual choice, it does not exempt you from paying this charge. Please refer to our standard policy on deferrals.
Please contact your academic department with your reasons and evidence. Note that generic reference to the coronavirus pandemic will not be considered an acceptable ground for deferral. We recognise that arriving for the start of your course may not be possible for some students for example if you are unable to travel. If you believe this might not be possible, you should speak to your department in the first instance who can discuss the different options with you.
If you have any concerns, you should speak to your department in the first instance, and they will discuss the different options with you. Deferral may be possible depending on your individual circumstances — please note you may be asked for medical evidence. If your request for a deferral is approved, you will not be considered again for Oxford funding and scholarship opportunities. If you have already been offered an Oxford scholarship, you should consult the office which awarded it e.
Student Fees and Funding, the college or the department to find out whether or not your scholarship can also be deferred.
Offer holders who have fulfilled all their academic and financial conditions will be sent a University Card Form by their academic department which they will have to complete and return to confirm their intention to enrol at Oxford.
You should email a scanned copy of your University Card Form instead of posting it. Full instructions will be emailed to you by your academic department. Once your department has confirmed to you that you have met all the conditions of your offer, you should return your completed University card form in line with the guidance provided by your department. This may take some time, but you will receive this information in time for the start of your course. The next step will be to complete your online registration before your course starts.
You will be provided with relevant information to your Oxford email in due course. Skip to main content. Meeting conditions I cannot complete my undergraduate course because my education has been disrupted. What do I do? I have received an offer from Oxford with an academic condition to achieve a certain score in my current qualification, but my institution has made changes to my examinations, and is going to issue me with an unclassified degree as a result of the pandemic.
Will it be accepted as sufficient evidence to meet academic conditions? Will this be accepted to complete my academic condition? I cannot book an English language test because test centres are currently closed where I live. One of my offer conditions is to provide evidence of my final transcript. Is a scanned copy acceptable?

Commonly Asked Questions to Oxbridge Applications. How much and what support can Oxbridge Applications provide? What do Oxbridge tutors look for in an applicant?
Will tutors know that I have received support from Oxbridge Applications? Will Oxbridge Applications be honest with me about my own ability? Do I need additional support from Oxbridge Applications, to that offered by my school? Can you help me if I am not applying to Oxbridge? Will applying to Oxbridge damage my other university applications? Will this affect or hinder my Oxbridge application? I am an international applicant for whom English is not my first language.
Do I have to take an extra qualification? What do the Universities really think of gap years? What factors are most important when deciding which college to apply to? When will Oxford or Cambridge let me know the result of their decision? Admissions Tests With Admissions Tests the key to success is personal practice. If you submit your UCAS form to Oxbridge before the deadline, you can then login into your account again at any time before the non-Oxbridge deadline and select the other four universities you would like to apply to.
You may find it easier and simpler to submit your UCAS form to all your university choices at the same time. In this case, please do not worry; just like Oxford and Cambridge, other leading universities are interested in hearing from the best candidates. The fact that a student is applying to Oxford or Cambridge indicates that they are serious about studying hard, ambitious and have the backing of their school. Given that three-quarters of Oxbridge applicants do not receive an offer, a policy of rejecting likely Oxbridge applicants would mean losing out on well over 20, outstanding students!
You should: Think about your individual application against the criteria in question 1 Think about why you did not perform as well as you wanted in your GCSEs and see what you can do from here Consider if you might be considered for the Cambridge Special Access Scheme if there is a reason why your schooling was disrupted How much will I be expected to know about my particular subject in advance of the interview, especially in a subject I have not studied at AS or A-level?
However, if you are unsuccessful in securing a deferred place, you then have the option to reapply post-A-level the following year and still take a gap year. Post-A-level — the main advantage of applying post-A-level is that you will be applying with achieved rather than predicted A-levels.
This is a big incentive for universities as they will be able to make unconditional offers and will not have the uncertainty of you perhaps not achieving the grades asked for. The disadvantage, however, is that if you are unsuccessful, you would only be able to reapply if you then took two gap years — not a particularly engaging prospect for a university.
What can you do? Look into what experiences you could have on your gap year that would be relevant to your course and maintain your interest and abilities in the subject — an applicant who is going to use their gap year wisely is a much more exciting prospect for an admissions tutor. Alternatively, you could consider: Taking a gap year after your degree — you will have even more friends to choose to take with you then! Make sure to check in the prospectus which colleges offer your course Look at the university websites to get an initial feel for the differences between the colleges Go to an Open Day — most people do not decide on a college until they have visited it.

If your request for a deferral is approved and it is to start at the University within the same academic year as that you originally applied for, your contract with the University will be based on the contractual documents available through the link provided in this offer.
If your request for a deferral is approved and it is to start at the University in a subsequent academic year, you will be sent a letter in that academic year containing a link to a new set of contractual documents including the Terms and Conditions, Course Information Sheet and Student Handbook and your contract with the University will be amended to be based on those documents.
The contractual documents accompanying that letter may differ from those available through the link provided with this letter. You will be entitled to withdraw from the course if the new contractual documents contain a material change which you consider will have an adverse impact on you. Any deposit you have paid will be held until you take up your place. The deadline for registration which applies to you will be set out in your offer. In your request, please outline your grounds for deferral and how you meet the criteria outlined above.
You will get a written response from your department letting you know if your deferral has been granted. If you are not eligible to apply for a deferral, or if you want to defer more than a year, you can always submit a completely new application and you will need to pay the application fee for the year in which you wish to start. If you have received an offer for a research course eg DPhil and have had your visa application delayed or rejected you may be granted a deferral for one term at a time, up to a maximum of three terms.
If you have received an offer for a taught course eg MSc, MSt or MPhil you cannot request to defer on these grounds, and will need to re-apply for the year in which you wish to start. The University will consider complaints about any aspect of the graduate admissions process that relates to an irregularity in the procedure under which the application has been considered.

If you are applying for one of the four year Law with Law Studies in Europe courses other than the Law with European Law course then you will need to show you have the necessary language skills: for further details see Question 4 of the FAQs on the four year courses. Otherwise your choice of subjects is your own, though please note that General Studies is not accepted.
Strictly academic subjects matter most. Both arts and sciences are helpful. Studying A-Level or AS Law confers no particular advantage or disadvantage and we are happy to receive applications from those who are studying for such qualifications in law.
When Oxford colleges are comparing A-level results and predictions they may attach reduced importance to General Studies. The National Admissions Test for Law LNAT is a test used by a number of leading UK law schools to assist us in making fair comparisons between the very large number of excellent applications we receive each year. Oxford was a founder member of the Consortium which owns and supervises the LNAT and we continue to be closely involved in the development and setting of the test, which is operated by Pearson Vue, and administered in co-operation with UCAS.
Your essay will be seen and marked by Oxford tutors. Further information on the composition of the test, as well as a practice paper, is available on the LNAT website link below. If you fail to sit the LNAT test by that deadline, your application will be incomplete. If there is no test centre in your country, or no safe transport route to a test centre, you must contact the Oxford college to which you are applying for further instructions.
The LNAT consortium website includes practice papers and registration information. Most come with the strong support of their school or sixth-form college and most have very impressive personal statements.
Because of this we need to have further mechanisms to reach final decisions among such uniformly excellent applicants. Another is the interview process.
Our interview process is designed to provide further insight into the academic strengths and weaknesses of our candidates. It is important to note that we do not interview all applicants. For those being interviewed, interviews are time-consuming and demanding. In addition, we prefer to focus our interviewing efforts on candidates with a reasonable chance of success. As a result , we only interview those who have a realistic chance of being offered a place, judged by their UCAS forms including their existing academic record and LNAT scores.
This short-listing process means that some of our applicants are turned down without being invited for interview. If a candidate is short-listed, and so invited for interview, we will make reasonable efforts to arrange an interview. In some cases, however, candidates from overseas may have to be considered without interview. Want to know what number and proportion of applicants get in?
Check here Interview arrangements for international students. Interviews are a useful way for us to test your aptitude for the type of skills necessary on a law degree: for example, interviewers will be testing your reasoning and analytical ability. The purpose of the interview process is thus to give us extra information as to how you perform against our admissions criteria see Question above.
Interviews can take different forms: for example, an interview may include legally related questions as well as more general intellectual puzzles calling for logical analysis of a type similar to legal analysis. Whilst interviews may discuss legal issues, your pre-existing knowledge of the law is not being assessed.
