MPhysics - Batch of 2026
4.5
4 years as an undergrad in the University of Oxford
Tips: Before coming here, I was very study-oriented. Now I know everything is important in life. Studying and enjoying should go hand in hand for best productivity. Join clubs and meet new people and explore new ideas. I had the fully funded Reach Oxford Scholarship. The allowance was around 14k GBP per year for living costs. And academic feelings were covered as well. So, I was saving money each year from this. I am very satisfied with all the opportunities and fun I had at this university.
Likes (Post study jobs): Most of my friends and seniors got jobs before completing the degree. Others went on for higher studies to good universities and full funding as well. The networking quality and quantity are excellent, which makes getting jobs a bit easier compared to other universities.
Dislikes (Part time work): In the whole 4 years I found only 2-3 people who did part-time work, especially tutoring. I have never looked much into this either, so I can't guarantee. But I think there are lots of options in Oxford for part-time jobs, both including and excluding tutoring.

An Indian student's perspective on studying Physics at Oxford on a full scholarship
Tips: I was lucky enough to get my funding sorted through the Rhodes Scholarship, which is an absolute lifesaver out here. It covers every single cent of the Oxford tuition fees and throws in a monthly stipend of just over £1,500. Honestly, that's more than enough to live comfortably in Oxford without constantly stressing about money. As for the uni itself, the place is an academic pressure cooker. The pace of the course is relentless, but they don't just leave you out to dry—there are plenty of libraries, welfare teams,and departmental resources to help you keep your head above water when the workload piles up. Plus, living and studying alongside a massive, global mix of people completely forces you out of your shell, which does wonders for your communication skills. Looking back at the past year, I’m incredibly happy with how everything turned out. It’s been an intense, unforgettable experience that completely changed how I think, work, and handle life overall.
Likes (Public transportation): Oxford is very well connected with public transport, especially through the network of buses that run across the city. However, most students use a bicycle to commute as this is the most economical option. Nonetheless, Oxford is pretty walkable and also well-connected to the rest of the UK through rail.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): You need to keep a serious eye on the timeline if you're doing the M.Sc. in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics at Oxford. Because the course is a super-intense, nine-month sprint, your student visa is usually only capped at 10 or 11 months total. That gives you basically zero breathing room once Trinity term wraps up. If your goal is to stay in the UK long-term and settle down permanently, you have to hustle to secure a proper full-time job and sort out a sponsored work visa. Absolutely none of this happens automatically when you graduate. You don't just get handed a passport with your Oxford degree, so you need to be networking and applying for roles from day one if you want to transition to a Graduate Route visa or a Skilled Worker visa before your student visa cuts you off.

Academically rigorous and fun loving at Oxford.
Tips: It is competitive to get to Oxford, and it makes a lot of sense if you come here with a scholarship. The university is lovely and the environment is encouraging and challenging with rigorous academics. Students usually spend hours in libraries during exam times. However, it is equally fun too.
Likes (Part time work): There are multiple part time jobs for students. Although I don't engage in one myself, half of my friends do, including restaurants, etc. They manage it well and are paid the minimum UK wage, which is around 12 pounds per hour. Hence I think it is not that bad.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK requires a minimum stay of around 10 years to get PR, however, it can vary if you get the Global Talent visa. I think I will be going for the latter option after finishing my Ph.D. which offers PR in 5 years. Maybe I will look for PR, given that the opportunities are good.

MSc in Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation - Batch of 2026
3.6
Oxford is an academic disneyland.
Tips: Please have a complete knowledge of the course that you are studying because it is really competitive and intense. The courses here at Oxford are designed to help students incorporate critical analysis skills, so they are very indulging and mentally demanding.
Likes (Indian Food): There is a street in Cowley Oxford which has all the food options from all the countries. It is locally known as diaspora street! There are restaurants catering to gastronomic needs from across the globe. There are also convenience stores that provide food sourced directly from India at a competitive rate.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The public transportation is not at all reliable. Buses are cancelled frequently. There is no other public mode of transport for students. The black taxis are out of reach, with average fares being GBP 45 for a couple of miles. The minimum bus fares are GBP 2.8 for 1 tap.

Funding, academics and life at Oxford.
Tips: In order to be eligible for scholarships/funding please apply before the December deadline else you will not be eligible. Oxford has different colleges do your research, see the fellow that are in your college and the accommodation before putting in a preference while submitting your application. Always attend the tutorials; it is a great way to brainstorm and build critical thinking. The faculty and department are very helpful; you can always reach out to them and build connections! There are a lot of formal balls; do not feel pressured to attend everything. Prioritise your needs, especially when you first transition. Buses are expensive, 35 is a day pass and 25 is a week pass. I'd suggest getting a bike or living close to your department.
Likes (Value for money): To be able to meet and learn from a faculty that include noble laureates, constant exposure to highly translational research and accessibility to all the resources is incredible. There are tons of networking opportunities available! The labs have quite advanced instruments too for which the price is justified. The investment you make in this course, with the help of the network you build has a great ROI.
Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part time jobs are available but highly competitive. Moreover, the Master's course is quite intense to be able to manage part-time work. The career service at Oxford does provide a good platform to look for part time roles and internships.

MBA - Batch of 2025
3.8
Amazing MBA experience with less focus on academics.
Tips: The student life in Oxford is crazy. Being in a collegiate system and getting to interact with people pursuing other degrees including phds is something only Oxford offers. The university town experience is also something very different. It was truly the best year of my life socially. Try to get scholarship, there are too many sources and ways to get one. Try to be proactive and reach out to more people and start working towards your post MBA goal even before MBA starts. And lastly try to also network with people from other B-schools.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The college doesn't prepare you for post MBA jobs. The resources and tools are less. There is very less specific advice. I expected more from a business school. I feel Indian MBAs are more prepared to look for jobs. So a lot of people in the ten batch are still struggling to get jobs, also because of the UK economy.
