It is helpful for us to know if you are applying to other Oxford Colleges and this will not jeopardise your application in any way. If we are oversubscribed in subject areas or are not able to offer you a place we would like to help qualified candidates to potentially find another opportunity to study at Oxford. As such we may be able to share your application with another College. Please speak with your Study Abroad Advisor or Provider to confirm this would be an option for you.
If we cannot offer you a place, where appropriate, we may be able to share your application with another College for their consideration. Please indicate if you provide consent for this. We will contact you before we share your application.

Consent to be provided by applicant

We will need to communicate with your home institution’s Study Abroad Office, Advisor or your Study Abroad Provider during, or after, the application process. Please provide their details and your consent.

Your course and module preferences

Please select two subjects you would like to study while you are studying at Oxford. Immersion in your chosen field of study is a particular strength of Oxford teaching and learning. As a Visiting Student you will be asked to choose up to two complementary courses from this list: https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses/course-listing. Both courses chosen must relate to your current studies at your home institution. Please discuss your intended courses with your home institution before you submit your application. You will then study one specific module (called a 'paper') in each of your chosen courses each term. Please note that there are very limited business and management module options.

Module (paper) preferences for course 1

Please list the titles of the modules that you would like to study in order of preference. Information on individual courses can be found via the Department webpage. (If you find it difficult to find this information online, please contact us at visiting.students@st-hildas.ox.ac.uk).

Module (paper) preferences for course 2

Information on individual courses can be found via the Department webpage.
