University of Oxford Rankings 2026

• I am not aware of the placement scene of the course, as this is mostly an academically oriented course. Most students opt for further higher education or work in non-profit organizations or think tanks.
• People can find jobs after graduation by keeping an eye on the university's careers portal or by contacting organizations they are interested in working for. The department does not have a unique placement process for this course, and it is voluntary for you to engage with university-level placement events.

• I have found private accommodation as my college accommodation was more expensive. I found my accommodation on the Spareroom website.
• The monthly rent is around 750GBP, including all utility bills. I suggest that students be proactive on various platforms like Facebook groups, Rightmove, and Spareroom to look at accommodations and have virtual viewings if possible.
• Feel free to ask prospective landlords all the questions that you want to. My accommodation is nearly 1km from my college. Most Indian students stay in Cowley Road.

• Almost 90% of students of the graduating batch can secure employment or PhD positions within 6 months of completing the course.
• The average salary range depends on the country they are applying to. If they secure a job in the UK, it would be above 30000 GBP.
• Students need to apply for jobs on the application portals of universities job portals or listings on the university webpage.
• There are campus events that would also help them talk and network with experts in the field.

• Once we are admitted to the university, we are also given a college. I was part of Keble College where the graduate assistant reached out to me to let me know of the accommodation choices available to me.

• The monthly rent of my apartment was about 666 GBP, including all amenities and electricity covered. The structure was 1B1 in an apartment where 7 other people also resided and the only common sharing area was the kitchen.

• I would say I had a very smooth journey when it came to securing the accommodation because the management is very efficient and gets back with a reply in a day or two.

• My recommendation for future students would be to start the process of finding accommodation early on or as soon as you get an acceptance letter. That way you can always secure a spot for yourself within campus which will be cheaper and convenient than of-campus facilities.

• My accommodation was about a 10 minutes walk from my department and an hour's distance by bus from my research institute.

• Students are usually already employed in this course so getting placed is not of the utmost importance. However the method remains the same, students need to sign in on their Career Connect page and then start looking for their expertise and location.
• Jobs are available from all across the continents so that makes it easy for students from different continents to secure jobs.

• I used Airbnb to find my accommodation. Even though hostel options were available as an option, they were filled up pretty quickly. No one from my course found a place in the hostel.
• Initially, we thought of renting an apartment but later decided to take our individual housing. My rent for 15 days was somewhere between 50 to 60 thousand but my peers' rent was upto one lake twelve thousand for fifteen days.
• My accommodation journey was pretty smooth as I was staying with a Nepali family, and I used to travel by bus and it would not take more than 15 minutes.

• Most of the graduating batch secures employment immediately upon graduation because of the brand name as well as the knowledge gained by undergoing the rigorous curriculum.
• For CS the average salary was about 80K pounds about 5 years ago but it has been increasing a lot so the current stats could be closer to 100K pounds per annum.
• Most students get interviewed at all of the companies they apply to (because of having Oxford on their resume) but the final result depends on their candidacy.
• The biggest companies in the world come to Oxford (Meta, Amazon, Google) as well as the highest paying ones (trading firms such as Optiver, Hudson River Trading, SIG, Five Rings)
   

• All accommodation is on-campus although you can rent your own apartment and live outside (more expensive than the cheap accommodation provided by the university)
• The rent is about 30 pounds per night so it comes out to 5500 pounds per year.
• The food, rent and living facilities provided (laundry, kitchens, etc) come at a great subsidized cost and there are enough people around to help you in case of assistance.
• I would recommend future students to stay on-campus especially if they are not from the country because it is much cheaper and much easier to manage.
• My accommodation is right opposite the library and most Indian students live nearby to me in similar rooms.
   

Many go to tech companies like Google or finance companies like Optiver. Oxford provides a careers service where you can apply for jobs, internships, workshops, training programmes. About 80% of students are immediately placed. The median salary might be 30k-40k pounds per year.

The terms are fast-paced and highly academic. Even though sometimes the academic load can get high, it was always manageable for me. The problem sheets favor quality over quantity. As for other social activities, there are lots of opportunities to join clubs and societies, little social events in your college and also your subject department. Lots of talks and workshops. We have formal dinners every now and then where you dress up. The exams are also traditionally taken and you must wear formal clothing.

Students usually go on to do PHDs or PsyDs.

Admin is not really great, it is not very systematic. But otherwise you meet a lot of smart people. I never thought I would enjoy going for debates but we have many debates at the Oxford Union where esteemed speakers from around the world come to exchange thoughts and ideas. The formal dinners let you explore the different colleges across Oxford University. There is almost no medical help available unless it is fatal so carry medicines/bandages etc.

The university does not offer any type of placements in this course but it gives other benefits. This includes information session and workshops, training programs to identify and develop key employability skills,etc. And yes we all know the value of an Oxford degree.

The candidates need to pass IELTS with a minimum score of 7 and minimum 100 in TOEFL. You apply through UCAS, as for any other university. The full information is contained in the University's Undergraduate Prospectus.To become a student at Oxford you need to be accepted by a particular college, though you apply through a central admissions system. If you don't know which college to name as your preference you can make an open application: details of this are also in the undergraduate prospectus. Candidates are shortlisted for interview on the basis of their academic record and promise, as detailed in the selection criteria. Interviews take place in December. 

It is difficult to get career prospects after studying at Oxford University because you need to get a special qualification if you want to do Ph.D. after your MSc. It is called D.Phil but when you graduate from a top-ranked university in the world the chances of getting a doctorate from other universities become quite bright.

I chose Oxford University for obvious reasons as it is top-ranked, and I needed foreign accreditation to progress in my teaching career. Plus, it was a distance learning program so I was able to study while I worked. It also had a residential module which gave me an opportunity to meet my peers from all over the world. Also, since the ratio of instructors to students is very low. Only 13 fellows were admitted each year, making it easy for professors to give individual attention to each student.

Most graduates in this course go on to do further research in the field or work as embryologists. In research they move on to do work in genetics, proteomics, gynaecology, male reproduction, fertility preservation, endometriosis, etc.

Oxford is best for my chosen course. It is one of the only courses in the world that lets students gain practical experience in micromanipulation, in vitro maturation and embryo biopsy.

The career service has so many programs for students such as internship, courses, and workshop. There are many companies visit as well.

Because University of Oxford is one of the best university in the world, always top 10 in almost all university ranking website and Oxford also has a lot to offer to students
