Written tests
All candidates must take the Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA). See www.tsaoxford.org.uk for further details.
Candidates for the Psychology and Linguistics, and Philosophy and Linguistics courses must also take the Linguistics section of the Modern Languages Admissions Tests (MLAT).
Both tests will take place on 6 November 2013, normally at the candidate’s own school or college. Separate registration is required for both tests and the final deadline for entries is 15 October 2013. It is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure that they are registered for these tests.
