Information about studying Engineering Science at the University of Oxford: postgraduate courses
How to Apply
Your Application
So you've taken a look at our range of courses, and you've found one that's right for you. You'll apply for our postgraduate courses through the main University of Oxford website. You might also want to consider checking out our Postgraduate Projects webpage for information on projects that academics are looking to recruit for in the current admissions cycle.
You may need to supply these supporting materials with your application:
In the research proposal you need only indicate in outline the research you hope to pursue, but note that it should correspond with one of the research areas defined by the Department. It is strongly recommended that you discuss your proposal with your potential supervisor before submitting your application. You should submit a more detailed proposal only if you have discussed this with your potential supervisor. The Department does not require the submission of written work, so please do not include this. It will not be considered as part of your application and will slow down application processing times.
Supervision
Supervision
All new students are registered as probationer research students upon joining the Department. You'll be allocated an academic supervisor who will be available to provide advice and assistance, as well as overseeing your transfer from probationary to MSc(R) or DPhil status at the end of the first year and subsequent confirmation of status at the end of the second year.
Students are encouraged to attend specialist lecture courses, appropriate to their research topic, which are available to graduates and fourth-year undergraduates.
