Hey guys, good luck with your applications ;)

I submitted my application just hours before the deadline. In my Self Service portal, my application is shown as "Submitted but not Processed yet" and I am getting quite anxious as I am wondering how long it takes for the Graduate Admissions Office to process applications and mark them as ready for assessment, considering that as of now, once the deadline has passed, the Academic Department has already started to evaluate applications. 

Hi Aldobetpal,

I submitted on 11th January and my application was marked ready for assessment on 14th January although i received an email notification to this effect on 18th January.

Don't worry about this, they know that you submitted before the deadline, so whenever they process your app has no impact on its outcome. I guess they are quite busy now, because most people tend to send their apps in on the last day and therefore processing may now take some time

mine was processed and ready for assessment within only a few hours of submitting and at 2.20am! So I would say they have a lot of people working to get them processed at the moment! Don’t worry!

Hi everyone!

I'm just wondering those apply for MLF, do you guys have relevant background regarding finance/banking/business/economics in your previous undergraduate or LLM study? Like took courses on these topics. I notice that MLF is taught jointly by law faculty and business faculty and the course structure has a lot to do with finance or economics. Meanwhile, the entry requirements suggest applicants should have a law degree. Would it be a disadvantage if applicants don't have solid finance/economics academic background?
Thanks!

I didn't have any background in finance, but studying certain subjects, such as company law, at UG level was fairly useful.

Hi everyone! I submitted my application just an hour before the deadline, but now my status suggests that my application is "not processed yet". How long will it take to change to the status of "ready for assessment"? Is there anyone having the same situation like me?

You guys know they have to process 1000's of applications right, it taking long doesnt mean anything

Do you know if Oxford waives the language requirement based on mode of instruction of the earlier institution? I know their website suggests that they waive the requirement. But I wanted to know if any of you know about such case. Thank you so much. 

Does anyone know whether the number of words from the header of the written work is included into the overall word count of the written work?

My written work contains less than 2000 words, but the content of the header - which is the same on each of the five pages and only explains which paper of mine I used as a basis for my written work - adds more than 350 words to the written work? 

When I emailed them, they wrote that it is unlikely that they will count the header on each page. 

Do I need to be worried because of that?

I wouldn’t be worried about that at all!

General question: Why is it called 'Bachelor of Civil Law' despite (1) being a masters degree and (2) involving the common law - not civil law?? 

This is just Oxford nomenclature. Likewise, there are no LLMs, just MScs and law is not even "law", it's "jurisprudence".

In a nutshell: the BCL is 100% common law (aimed at common law students), the MJur has civil law elements, but is also primarily based on common law (aimed at non-common law students).

as far as I'm aware it involves civil law; it's directed at people that come from a common law background. the mjur on the other hand involves common law. do you have a civil or common law background? :)
