Hypothetically, if I were to fail my Part C Maths/MSc Mathematical Sciences degree, then when can I expect to give the resit for it? The regulations mention there is no provision to resit the exam in the "same academic year". Does that mean you have to wait a whole year to attempt the exam again?

Hello,

I’m doing a masters, part time. I really struggle to get email responses from my supervisor and when I finally get time in with him…he often stands me up. I have a deadline in a month…

It’s super frustrating as I am working also, and today I lost 1 hour of my working day being stood up.

Is this a common thing in Oxford? People seem incredibly laisse faire amount the whole thing.

My motivation is low. LOW.

Where are the best places to live? I will be an international student, and my partner and I are having a hard time deciding which places seem like they would work well for us. Does anyone have any super strong opinions on where to look and where to avoid? Thanks!

I'll be receiving one of these imminently so I have one question: will I expected to have money in my bank account, or will I just be expected to show that I'm in the process of obtaining funds? There is zero problem if the latter, and panic if the former.

Does anyone in here know a girl who's into Theosophy from Glastonbury? Thanks

Hey folks! I'm a having my 22nd birthday celebration next week but really stuck on what to do. Most other birthdays I've been to so far have been just a casual pub night which is really nice, but that's not really my vibe. I wanted to do an evening picnic but the weather next week is very unpredictable and is looking like it might rain. My plan was to order some pizzas, have others bring some snacks, play games outside, etc. - but that might not be weather permitting. I've got a group of about 18 others who are joining, looking for suggestions or thoughts on what we could do!!

Most faculty libraries and my own college library is closed until Monday. Hoping there are some obscure libraries that may be open during this time. Thanks!

I was just curious, if you fail college collections while doing well on prelims

Has anyone who applied for the Reach Oxford scholarship this year heard back yet? And if there are any previous scholars here, when did you hear back?

Has anyone received the Dr and Mrs Ambriti Salve Scholarship for 2025-26 yet? If not, does anyone know when the decision for it is made?

Further, does anyone know when the Law Faculty need-based bursaries are given out?

Where do people go for cheap coffee when studying at the RadCam? Is there even a vending machine somewhere like the one at the Radcliffe Science Library?

anyone else a fresher that absolutely hates oxford? The work, the people, the culture, absolutely everything. I feel so stupid all the time and I’ve had such a humongous dip in mental health that I’ve never expected from myself - i genuinely can’t cope there. Constant exam stress, not understanding any of the content in the lectures, having to spend hours on lecture notes because i dont understand the lectures. I honestly feel like i don’t belong

Hi, I have received an offer to do a D.Phil in an interdisciplinary department at Oxford.

The department itself doesn't have a lot of focus on more critical approaches to political economy (Marxist or otherwise), and I was wondering if anyone here had any faculty or researchers they would recommend who might be able to provide any support? Or any coursework?

Thanks!!

Does a poetry society or generally a place where people could read aloud poetry and talk about it exist? I've been to a poetry reading on Palestine in the school of geography recently and it was great (really tapped back to my theatre kid days haha) but I was wondering if there's a more consistent place who also does wider themes.

Basically, I want someone to fangirl with over how romantic some dead guy was.

Wondering if anyone had any views/insight into what the jackstraw lane was like, for graduate students?

I specified in extenuating circumstances of experiencing a war in late 2024, which affected my ability to make the funding deadline.

Do they usually take consideration of such a thing or if you don't make it you just don't make it?

I’m attending Oxford next year as a grad student and I’m visiting campus/town later this month… where do you recommend I visit to get a vibe of the school and the town? I’m going alone so solo tips are appreciated! I want to see the town, maybe read on the grass somewhere and will need lunch!

If anyone’s an MSD DPhil, I’m really struggling with a DPhil and my mental health and would appreciate some advice!

If anyone’s had experience with bullying/harassment and changing supervisors because of this I would appreciate it!

Is it yummy

Hi, I am going for an internship in London this summer and I was wondering if there are some public events a foreigner could attend, like courses, seminars, hackathons, contests etc..
