Coming from a different academic setup, I’m trying to optimize my digital workflow for keeping track of extensive reading lists and organizing notes across SOLO, ORLO, and Canvas.

Hey, I’m an undergraduate student (international doesn’t study in the UK), I’ve been researching oxford MSc in Financial Economics and on the website it states to demonstrate “strong quantitative skills”.

Unfortunately, my undergrad curriculum only has two statistics courses which aren’t enough.

I wanna know if I took additional courses in math to my study plan (calc1&2, stats, algebra 1), would oxford accept it? especially that I will take them at another university along my studies (my university doesn’t allow taking additional courses).

Do you know if that’s possible to demonstrate math proficiency?

*note: I emailed Oxford, and Said business school but got no reply.

I saw my crush today on my way to one of my classes. I sort of purposely but also accidentally bumped into her while she was carrying her books and everything was scattered onto the floor.

She and I both reached down to collect them but the moment we did everyone started laughing at us and recording on their phones.

Wtf??

there’s a talk coming up that i’d really like to attend, but i am not an oxford student. the union have said they’re not allowing the public into the event unless you’re a +1 for a member. would anyone be able to help? thank you

Hi! I’m currently waiting for results for my philosophy and linguistics prelims — the Canvas page says the final meeting for them was on the 15th, so I’m hoping to get them either a bit later today or at least by Wednesday. Does anyone know if there’s a specific time of day they tend to come out, or at least can’t come out after? Thanks!

So I got my results back to day and I can view all grades except for my dissertation that reads pending. I did get an extension on this but other people on my course who did as well can see their diss result. So far there’s only one other person I’ve spoken to who has ‘pending’ results. Anyone know what this means?

Looking at the middle eastern courses specifically. Has anyone done so (even for other mphils?) What are the contact hours for part-time?

Hey y’all, I’ve been trying to log in to career connect for a couple of days now and it seems like it’s fully just unreachable even after clearing cookies and such. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks!

Hi, looking for a hitting partner tomorrow (July 19th) to play tennis / badminton anytime before 5pm.

I am intermediate level (e.g. can pretty consistently slice + hit with topspin) in tennis, and a bit newer to badminton.

Ik it’s a PPH but was wondering how the community there is surrounding the LGBTQ community and if theres a lot of open ppl there esp with it being (used to I think?) a religious PPH?

Does anyone know if there is any way to pay for being able to use our ox email after graduation? Or is there any way to redirect all the future emails going there to our personal email?

There are plenty of traditions that sound exciting before you arrive. Which one turned out to be every bit as good as people said?

Looking for people that are starting AUB this year or already are there. Would like to make friends, for context I’ll be studying fashion.

Hi,

If you’ve already finished your DPhil, could you let me know how long it took for your (minor) corrections to be approved after you submitted them, and how long it then took from that point until you officially received your leave to supplicate?

My student visa is expiring in less than a month and I haven’t heard anything from my examiners since submitting my VERY minor corrections, so I’m starting to lose my mind a little bit. History faculty if that makes a difference. Thank you!

Does it say in the self service alongside your results or do your tutors just tell you?

Does anyone know when they are coming out?

I just learned that at Emmanuel college, Cambridge they do your laundry for you! Do any Oxford colleges do that?

Saw two helicopters land on the university parks this morning. Normally you can't even take a bike through the park, so I figured they must be important.

Whenever friends visit, they seem fascinated by things I now walk past without a second thought. It's made me realise how quickly somewhere extraordinary becomes part of your everyday routine. What's that place for you?

Not necessarily your course. It could be a routine, a place, a tradition or just something small that became part of everyday life. Sometimes it's those little things that stay with you the longest.

Are there any alternatives to the 90 minute library tour? I swear someone told me that if you have a bod card you can do a mini tour of the link/Bodleian tunnels with a librarian for free but I can only find info about the £20 tour. Also if anyone has any suggestions for things to do before I have to give my bod card back, they are very much welcome!
