As Oxford puts it, "The only things that Oxford students have in common are academic ability and intellectual curiosity." Our students come from all over the world and bring with them an amazing range of backgrounds and interests. This helps make our University one of the most exciting learning environments anywhere."

When describing what makes you a good fit for their university, go beyond your academic ability. Showcase your desire to be in a culturally diverse environment where you will learn from and side by side with people from widely varying cultures and backgrounds. Think of all the manners in which life at Oxford would satisfy and fuel your intellectual curiosity.
