How does admission to read geography at Oxford differ from other universities?
Not much, any more, except that the majority of applicants are interviewed. As at other universities, Oxford makes conditional or unconditional offers to candidates, depending upon whether they have taken their A-levels. Decisions about whom to admit to read geography are made on the basis of information on candidates’ UCAS forms, our assessment of candidates’ submitted work and performance in interview. There is no written test before interview. At interview candidates are asked to write a summary of a short article.
