Anyone noticed that they have now opened a second deadline for BCL etc.?

Hmm...what could that possibly mean?

Same for MSc in Law and Finance and MJur.
That is strange!!!

This was already discussed on this board a few weeks ago.

... and what was the reasoning for the second deadline?

nobody seems to know why...

Purely speculating...

I thought in light of sweeping HE funding, they may have increased their postgraduate intake to bring in more money, or they simply were not impressed with the applicants (but I just cannot see that for Oxford).

Have tuition rates been announced yet for fall? If not, it may be they are going to institute hefty raises and anticipate fewer enrollees.

Weird...

I thought the increased fees weren't supposed to apply to postgrads? If that's the case (and I hope it is!) then the fee changes are unlikely to be behind the extension.

The increased fees do not take effect until academic year 2012-13.
