There are lots of things to do when you’re making your university application. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you with the process.
All candidates wishing to apply to Oxford must submit a UCAS application online. An application to Oxford will include:
- GCSE and predicted A level grades (or equivalent)
- A personal statement
- A teacher’s reference
- Contextual data
- Admissions test results (if required)
- Submitted written work (if required)
- Interview performance
STEP 1 – Picking a course and checking the requirements
You can find a list of all courses offered by Oxford on the University’s website. Once you have decided on a course, you can view the admissions requirements and information on course structure on the course page.
STEP 2 – Choosing a college
You can either choose a college to apply to, or make an open application. Candidates who make an open application will be assigned to a college or hall that has relatively fewer applications for your course in the year you apply.
STEP 3 – Admissions tests and written work
It is very important that you check whether your chosen course requires candidates to sit an admissions test. It is the candidate’s responsibility to ensure that they are registered for admissions tests by the deadline. Information on admissions tests, including how to register, can be viewed here.
Some courses require candidates to submit written work which must be original school or college work and marked by a teacher. Information on written work requirements can be found here.
STEP 4 – UCAS application
All candidates wishing to apply to Oxford must submit a UCAS application online.
Deferred Entry: Applications for deferred entry to Jesus College are accepted. You must apply for deferred entry at the time of application to Oxford: you cannot change your mind after an offer has been made. Please refer to departmental web sites for subject-specific advice. You should be aware that applicants who are offered places for deferred entry will generally be among the strongest of the cohort for their subject. We would not usually offer more than one deferred place per subject in order not to disadvantage the following year’s candidates. In some cases, an applicant for deferred entry may be offered a place for non-deferred entry instead. If you require any further advice, please contact the Admissions Officer.
STEP 5 – Interviews
Candidates who are shortlisted will be invited to Oxford for interviews in December. The interview timetable, as well as information on how to prepare for interviews and sample questions, are available on the University’s website. Dr Alexandra Lumbers, Academic Director for Jesus College, Oxford has also provided top tips on how to prepare.
STEP 6 – Decisions
Decisions will be communicated to candidates by email and through UCAS in January.
For detailed information on written work and interviews at Jesus College, please select the course you are applying for from the list below.

| Notes |
Interviews are designed to enable applicants to demonstrate their enthusiasm for biology and their ability and potential to study. We are not testing factual knowledge but your ability to think critically and analytically about a problem: candidates will be asked to interpret data presented in graphical form during the interview, and such material will have been chosen carefully to make it unlikely that candidates will have encountered the material previously. You will therefore be relying upon your analytical ability and your ability to draw in knowledge from other areas in reaching a scientific opinion. If a candidate expresses an interest in a particular aspect of biology, they should be prepared to talk intelligently about it in a conversation with the interviewers. The process is rigorous, but sympathetic, so that you can show us your best. |
