Hi Pietro. I hope you're doing well. I'm currently doing a bachelor's in English language and literature and I'm looking to pursue a postgraduate degree in philosophy and literature too! I wasn't actually aware that Oxford offered a philosophy and literature interdisciplinary program. I was just hoping to ask what exactly it is that you're majoring in because I'd like to look more into it. Your response would be really appreciated. Thank you!!

@@CalmAtHighTide Hey there how are you doing! The course I took last year is called European Studies (now also Medieval and Modern Languages) -- this encapsulates anything from philosophy, literature, philology, linguistics and even history of art. It's an incredibly multidisciplinary course -- especially the Master of Studies programme, which I took last year before starting my PhD at Oxford. For example, during the year I took courses on 20th century German philosophy in the German department, Italian late medieval lyric, English 19th & 20th century literature (known as a C-option course in the English department at Oxford!) and did my dissertation on Italian Renaissance art history. As you can see the course offers huge breadth and profits from all departments across Oxford, which is pretty rare here... Good luck with everything and sorry for the late reply!

How can i achieve that the most effectively and efficiently? . What would you have done if you had to do like A levels again to get the best grades? My plan is to just make summaries of the information i get and try to get A* in at least 2 subjects but i dont really know if what i am going to do is efficient and effectieve. My subject i want to chose are Maths, Economics and business.

Great vids. Thankss! worth to try :)

I am a Kenyan and Christian, above the list, I'll mention, put God first, pray always without ceasing, and have the following: 1. Ensure your academic transcripts are incredible, 2. Fine-tune your Personal statement, to be extraordinary; highlighting your passion, carrier work/ volunteer work, and leadership roles. They should be on the same trajectory as the course you wanna pursue. 3. Look for the best recommenders / Referees. 4. Write an adorable CV, Oxford has its preferred format, (If possible inscribe your Research Project / Proposal). 5. Meet the language requirements. 6. Interview is a vital process in Oxford application, don't panic.

Great video. But you should have asked where they've graduated from high schools / pre-university institution.

I maybe wrong but why do so many people think you gotta have this 10/10 background and go to amazing schools that's not the case. Yes some rich kids do end up in the top universities not just cause they're rich but because their parents knew what to do. Alot of students at Oxford/Cambridge are not as rich as you think. Alot of people think you gotta be this 10/10 student to get in you don't.

The problem with this video is that it’s ambiguous and therefore misleading as it appears to be a mixture of undergrads and postgrads in this vox pop. So all the stuff about having a very strong letter of recommendation from an expert in their field is 100% relevant to postgraduate applications but NOT the case for undergraduate applications: in this case your reference will be from your teacher and not “an expert in their field”…just your ordinary, regular teacher. So personally I’d ignore everything on this video if you’re applying for an undergrad degree to Oxford as it’s pretty misleading. If they’d identified the difference between each respondent (ie it said “undergraduate in Modern Languages” or “postgraduate studying Maths”) then that might have made it more useful…but they didn’t and it isn’t

@@tomfiddick3425 I “have the ability to read into the context”…not least because I am a postgraduate student myself, but given this channel and this video is, I assume, claiming to offer advice to prospective students (many of whom won’t be so well acquainted with the British university system - particularly if they are from overseas), then having something that’s pretty unclear and frankly misleading is hardly helpful. There’s some good info out there on You Tube about making a competing application to Oxford and Cambridge…but this isn’t one of them!

@@Anonymoose66G OH. Are you kidding? Are you still in high school? Not that there's anything wrong with that (if true?). It's just that while I was reading your reply I was assuming you were a university student? In any event, I wholeheartedly agree with you that statistics more accurately mirrors the real world - certainly from a decision perspective - than pure mathematics! The real world is often somewhat predictable BUT with many uncertainties. The real-world certainly is not as clear-cut and precise as pure math would have us believe. I believe statistics most accurately models this messy uncertainty - which is why it's also required for most of the physical sciences! Statistics "looks" like the real world. Somewhat predictable - but allowing for a modest degree of uncertainly in the form of probabilities, confidence intervals, and so forth!
