Frequently Asked Questions

Before applying, we know that some applicants have questions about the course. We’ve put together some answers to frequently asked questions below, but if you have a specific question that is not answered here, please contact us (contact details available on our Contact Us page)

Can I apply to both Bristol and Oxford?

You can apply to Bristol and Oxford but only one of these will become your home institution.

If you have a prefence, apply directly to that university, rather than both.

Bristol and Oxford will have different deadlines so make sure to check their websites.

Do you offer deferred entry?

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer deferred entry places due to the small size of the cohort.

How many students make up a cohort?

This can fluctuate but we generally have around 6 to 8 students per university each year.
