Dr Williams is definitely making Oxford more approachable! He's very articulate yet humble nd this is definitely breaking a lot of myths around Oxford University! Thank you Dr Williams and Jesus college for the effort!
Hi Dr Williams, I've watched a number of your videos and they really have made the application process far less intimidating for me. Thank you ever so much for your help!
I'm actually loving these videos, they're so interesting and i used one of the ideas on my personal statement but i'm 90% sure I'm gonna put down cambridge when i submit on friday.
As an Oxford fresher, these videos are super helpful for me to learn more about the city and colleges! I wish I saw this video when I applied last year! - i wish i knew
Absolutely! There's this video on the HAT: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xsStONvSiAI.html And, some history lectures, including this on use of "magic" in WW2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d-BYQgIl1hg.html
Hello! I have heard a lot about Oxford's generous scholarships and bursaries for UK students, but I was wondering what sort of funding and resources are allocated for international students (undergraduate level). I have found some scholarships that are available, but are the bursaries applicable to international students too?
I'm afraid bursaries are not available to international students. Some scholarships are, most notably the Reach Oxford Scholarship: www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/fees-and-funding/oxford-support/reach-oxford-scholarship There are more scholarships listed here, some of which are available to international students: www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/fees-and-funding/oxford-support
It has changed, but much still needs to be done. Our work focusses on Wales. Jesus College is known as the Welsh College. The figures there are as follows: -- There's been a 20% increase in applications from Welsh state schools to Oxford in 4 years. -- There's been a 32% increase in offers to Welsh state school applicants. -- There's been a 55% increase in the admission of Welsh state school applicants. No complacency allowed.
@@JesusCollegeOxford1571 Excellent would that be the same in England in different colleges . What i mean is if i have the grades in A level i have just as much chance as anyone else with the same grades .
@@simonamos9468 Yes, that's exactly right. We cannot (nor would we want to) treat applicants unfairly. But historically the system has clearly favoured privileged individuals, simply because they have access to better support. Our outreach and access work seeks to address these imbalances, and we consider contextual data (such as an individual's school and their wealth) when judging how well they have performed in A-levels, relative to someone with much greater resources and support. This doesn't mean we are biased against privileged people. I'm ridiculously privileged myself! It means that we make a much more careful assessment of what excellence and potential mean when judged against context.
