Information on choosing a course at Oxford or Cambridge

"Perhaps it is because Oxbridge encourages more ‘traditional’ A Level subjects that gives the impression that its own courses are similarly orthodox. This belief is reflected year after year in the application statistics; whilst Medicine, Economics, PPE, Engineering, Law and Maths have the most daunting ratios of applications to places, many other fantastic courses, often with surprising amounts of topic overlap, go unnoticed."

Choosing your course is such a crucial decision for you, so we encourage students to do as much research as possible. Look beyond the most famous (and thus oversubscribed) courses for the chance to investigate the wealth of options available out there.
