International students

Oxford is one of the most international universities in the world. Today, one third of its students, including 17% of undergraduates, are international citizens, and come from over 150 countries.

Applying as an international student

Oxford welcomes applications from international students. All applicants apply via UCAS by 15 October, and follow the same process as UK applicants.

Applying with international qualifications

If you want to apply to Oxford, you need to have achieved - or expect to obtain - one of the accepted qualifications, or another equivalent.

Visa and immigration information

Our Student Immigration Office provides visa and immigration information to applicants.

English language requirements

All teaching at Oxford is carried out in English and tutors must be convinced that you have sufficient fluency in written and spoken English.

Interview arrangements

All shortlisted candidates are invited to interview in Oxford in December. Read about arrangements for those travelling from abroad.

Test arrangements

If a test is required as part of an application for your course, then you must register to take that test.
