Oxbridge Entry Requirements

Requirements for Admission to Oxford and Cambridge

Admission to Oxbridge universities entails rigorous entry criteria, renowned for their challenging interview questions and standardized tests. Before applying, students must address two fundamental questions about their future:

​

  1. What do you want to study?

  2. Where do you want to study it?

​

It's essential to note that it's not possible to apply to both Oxford and Cambridge in the same admissions round, so applicants must choose one. Additionally, certain courses are exclusive to either university. The application deadline for Oxbridge is October 15th each year.
