check the description for the links to stuff I'm talking about / if you want to skip to specific sections 😊 also like I said, if you have any more Qs after watching this feel free to ask! will help as much as I can 😊 x
Love how genuine you are. Never change.
❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much
Dear Alice, your channel is so authentic and useful, that's why I always look forward to you uploading a new video I always learn from your videos it's never been a waste of time. I never understood the the point behind putting a misleading clickbait to get more views. This video was really helpful, you broke things down so thank you. Just to double check so have you ended up uploading two CV's in the application ? (I love how much you love Lancaster!)♡
thank you nour, you're so lovely 💖💖💖💖💖 hope you're having a lovely summer, and enjoying the post-internship freedom! 😁 so I did end up using a different CV for oxford and cambridge even though the two courses I applied for were virtually identical, but that was only because cambridge used rolling admissions and oxford used gathered field admissions so I applied to cambridge a couple of months earlier, and by the time I was finishing off my application for oxford I had a couple of extra things I wanted to add (a prize and a christmas internship - with rob young as well coincidentally!) x
Literally, I have been looking for a MSc Theoretical and Mathematical Physics student at Oxford for AGES!
What's interesting is that you're the first uni vlogger I ever discovered XD
ahhh awesome! I had a look around too before applying, couldn't find much online 😢 are you thinking about applying?? 😁 x
@@alicedoesphysics Yeah... I'm starting my third year in a month. Just one question: how important is research experience for that MSc in particular? Unfortunately I've only had 1 summer of research experience with a professor of mine, so i'm not quite sure if it's worth applying.
@@fisikalectures597 I heard that you can convert a 10 unit subject into dissertation (for Oxford). I guess that maybe count as 'research experience'.
I also applied for Imperial's QFFF which has a full 3 month dissertation.
Congratulations Alice! I’ve been following your channel since you started at Lancaster and it really helped me get a sense of studying undergrad Physics. I’m going into my second year at Oxford and I had an amazing first year. I really hope that you enjoy the place as much as I do! 😄
thank you so much!!! 😁 glad to hear you had an amazing time, and congrats on making it though first year - hope you've had a lovely summer to relax! maybe see you around next year? 😊 x
Thanks very much - hope you’re having a great summer too! Yeah if I see you around I’ll make sure to introduce myself. If you’re planning to hit up PhysSoc I’m likely to be there! 😊 x
Just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. I’ll be applying at the end of my bachelors, and your video has really helped me understand this process all the bit more. Although I’m not pursuing physics like you, I still find a lot of your information to be relevant for my degree!
I'm really glad it could be helpful! 😊 good luck!! x
Oxford is one of the most beautiful cities that I’ve been to in the UK. The colleges really immerse themselves across the city centre. You’ll love it
!
thank you joshua!! I've been there a couple of times to look round quickly, and the bits I saw were beautiful - I'm really excited to be able to explore properly in october (especially all the parks!) 😁 x
Thank you for making this video! It's actually very informative, especially with the description being so detailed! I expect this will be helpful for me in a years time (eek). And well done, even though you are so humble about it!
thank you so much, I'm really glad you found it informative - I wasn't really sure if I'd covered enough! but if you have any other questions (this year or next!) feel free to ask 😁 good luck for the rest of your degree, and thank you so much!! 💖
This is such a great video. I like what you said about 'because of' vs 'in spite of'.
thanks!! x
Love that you're so genuine. And yes perhaps if you were to use clickbait I'm sure would be in the 100 thousands but I can see you want your Chanel to be about helping others and not how popular you're getting from it. You've got quality content and that's what matters.
thank you so so much, honestly ❤️ it's really nice to know you think I've made the right choice here, as I do wonder sometimes 😊 x
hey Alice, you have always been an inspiration of mine on my gcse journey and now on my a-levels and it is incredible to see you now at postgrad! I love your content and even though it is not as relevant for me now you still made it interesting. Good luck in your future studies
hey aleksandra, thank you SO much!!! ❤️ loads of luck for the rest of your A levels 😁 x
Found your video super useful! Thank you for taking the time to post this :)
Ahh thank you so much for making this! 😊 It was super helpful and touched on some stuff I would've never had thought about so hopefully I'll be a little more prepared when the time comes ahaha
I'm really glad it could be helpful!! 😊 like I said if when you come to applying you have any questions, feel free to message me, would love to be able to help if I can x
@@alicedoesphysics Will do! 😊 All the best with the move to Oxford! 💖
i have no idea how i found your channel (have been subscribed for months now) but i'm glad i did
so basically, if you ever were worried that _the algorithm_ is ignoring you due to your lack of clickbaity titles, don't worry, the algorithm is showing this to people who don't care.
and also, i'm looking forward to your vlogs as a masters student. congrats on getting in!
honestly thank you so much for taking the time to let me know that - that's made me feel a lot better, really appreciate it ❤️ and thank you so much!! x
This has been an eye-opener and thank you for the resources!! There was no way I was going to give them my actual CV, as it's definitely not tailored toward academia. Love the vid, exactly what i needed even though our fields are miles apart lol
This is such a gem of a video! Thank you so much for posting this and all of the useful links. Really really appreciated 😁👍🏽
Thank you so much for uploading this video - I watched it when it came out but didn't think it was something I planned on doing (It wasn't that I thought I was getting into Oxbridge, more that I thought I wouldn't have the marks at undergraduate for it). However, I found out on Thursday despite getting 4A*s at A level I missed my STEP grades for Maths at Cambridge, so knowing that if I still feel the course fits with what I'm enjoying I might stand a chance at getting in for postgrad has helped a bit I think (I am waiting on a remark of a step paper for confirmation, but I'm pretty certain I won't get into Cambridge). I'd never really considered that I could apply to Oxbridge for postgraduate study, and thought if I didn't get in at undergraduate I'd 'missed the boat' and simply wasn't good enough to ever study there. These are all hypotheticals at the moment as I don't know if I'd be interested in going into research or not in 2 years, but thank you for making this video to put it out there that the option is open and it's not impossible just because you didn't get in at first (whether you applied or not).
Hey Anna, I'm really sorry to hear that STEP didn't go to plan - I hope you've still managed to be proud of your achievements, because 4 A*s is truly incredible ❤️❤️❤️ Hope there's been some good news, but either way, honestly when you apply at 18 and when you apply at 21 you're a very different person applying for a very different kind of course, so there's kind of no correlation between undergrad and postgrad admissions - it's definitely an option if you find you still want to go 😁 Will keep my fingers crossed that the STEP remark went well, but wherever you end up going for undergrad I'm sure you'll do fantastically x
Totally share the sentiment (at the beginning) 😆👍🏽
Also thanks so much for making this video and going to the effort of sharing all the links. Really, really appreciated.
I will be watching this video again in a few years time when I'm finishing BSc!
Great channel 👍🏽
So so happy for you! Really hope I get in when I apply next year :D
thank you so much, will keep my fingers crossed for you! 🍀 x
Really useful video - thanks ! Also congrats girl !!
thank you!! ❤️
No one:
Alice: Apologizes for not being a youtube expert.
Us: KEEP MAKING VIDEOS; YOU'RE DOING GREAT.
Also, do you watch Andrew Dotson? Also, Premier League?
Video suggestions (if you're alright with me giving them): more school supply videos (rite in the rain is the best!), You giving a campus tour, best hiking spots in the UK, and 'what are my textbooks for the semester'
ahaha thank you scott, that's so sweet ahh ❤️ I don't, I will check them out! and thank you for the video suggestions - more than alright with you giving them, they're honestly really really appreciated as I struggle to come up with enough ideas 😁 I like those a a lot!! x
Thank you so much for making this ✨
Hi Alice, thanks for the video. You mentioned about living off-campus during your 2nd and 3rd year. It may be an idea to make a video about how whether or not you shared accommodation, budgeting whilst at uni or even why you preferred it over on-campus accommodation. Keep up the good work ;)
this is an excellent idea - thank you so much!! 😁 I've just realised from your comment that in october I'll have stayed in 6 different types of student accomodation (4 years + 2 summer internships) so can definitely talk about that and the cost / differences between them! thank you again 😁 x
What a surprise! I am also applying for the same courses as you did. MSc in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics at Oxford, and MASt in Applied Mathematics at Cambridge.
Glad I found your channel. This has been a really good help for me.
ahh amazing!! good luck with it all, and I'm glad I could help a bit!! 😁 x
@@alicedoesphysics Hi Alice. Happy New Year.
I see that the offer was made on 18th of March 2019. May I know when did you apply for the MSc?
I applied for multiple universities and at the moment only received and offer from Queen Mary. They replied literally 1 day after my referees sent their recommendation letter. I wonder whether Oxford and Cambridge also reply this early.
By the way, did you apply for other unis as well? I applied for Imperial's QFFF, and PSI program (Perimeter) too. Although i'm not too sure whether perimeter will consider me😅
Hi Alice! I’m a little late to the club but I want to say thank you so much for making this video, and best of luck for your graduate studies. In all the clusters of RUclips videos and advice articles on applying to Oxbridge on the Internet, almost none of them are geared towards postgrad. So your experience and resources are so helpful! You might not know the answer to this, but do you think the admissions people for Oxbridge are as strict on applications obtaining 1st class degrees as in undergrad? I really want to apply next year but am worried I’ll finish with a high 2:1 instead of a 1st 😔
hey myr, thank you so much for your lovely words - am v glad you found my video helpful! 😊😊 so the entrance requirements completely depend on the course - have a look at the website for the ones your interested in and it should let you know 😊 x
Thank you for making this video and best of luck for next year!
I'm a bit worried about applying outside of London because I'm worried about living costs. What advice do you have for that?
And for a video idea maybe you could do a video on what you've been doing over the summer? Maybe like a vlog or something?
thank you so much! ❤️ ah I'm assuming you currently live in london then and would otherwise commute from home? I linked to both uni's fees, funding and scholarships search in the description, but there are also postgrad loans (www.gov.uk/masters-loan and www.gov.uk/doctoral-loan), as well as saving from part-time jobs / holiday jobs during undergrad (although obviously, that's not always possible) - I know it's common to take a year out working first too 😊 x
I think what the question about "stronger" Universities was asking if applications from students with degrees from the top Russell group universities and other such highly rated Universities in the U.K
Also as a suggestion for a video you could make is "what I wish I knew before I applied" or "what I wish I had done differently". Typical things like that mabye
oh right, that makes sense! I'm afraid I can't find a link to either uni's website to back me up as it's been a while since I applied, but the impression I got (at least for my courses) was that they cared a lot about the content of your degree and whether that aligned with what they'd expect someone applying from within oxford / cambridge respectively to have covered, but they didn't care where you'd done it 😊 also those are really good suggestions - thank you a lot!! x
Hi Alice! Thanks for the wonderful advice for college applications! Do you remember when did you submit your applications for both universities? I'm applying to the University of Oxford this year but I don't know if the applications submitted close to Thanksgiving/Christmas will be delayed because of the holiday.
Are u sure there is no interview at Oxford for getting into MSc mathematics.? I m gonna try for it and i m from different country.
A belated congratulations! I am curious to know how significant your A-level grades are in being accepted to a post-grad course at Oxbridge. If you get a high 2:1 / First from a good uni, does that outweigh sub-par A-level results?
I would like to know this too!
Yes, they do not look at A-level results. They accept only a first or high 2:1's
I'm at Oxford but this video was very useful.
thanks, glad it could still be helpful! 😁 x
I appreciate your mind :)
ahh thank you!! ❤️
Hi Alice,
Just wondering the reason you applied for a MSc as opposed to a Mphil (which as I understand has the Msc courses incorporated in it?). And can you talk a bit about the difference between these two? Many thanks!
hey, from chatting to people at oxford (not looked into this in depth!) I believe it is true for other (mostly humanities?) subjects that you can do a one year MA or a two year MPhil which incorporates the MA and an additional research year, but that's not the case for physics at all (and oxford does not even offer a research master's in physics - cambridge do I believe, but not in my subject, which is theoretical physics) so I didn't have to make the decision - sorry that I can't be more helpful 😢 x
Hi Alice, thanks so much for the reply! Also I was stupid, I meant to say DPhil :( (www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/dphil-theoretical-physics?wssl=1), which I suppose is the equivalence of a PhD. So I guess this is what you might do after your Msc?
But DPhil and Msc seem to have the same entry requirement, so someone who has completed their Honours degree appears to be eligible to apply to either Msc or Dphil, which is why I'm a bit confused. But if I apply for Oxford I think I'll do what you did and apply for Msc!
ah okay - sorry that I didn't realise that! yes, the DPhil is the same as a PhD, just the oxford word for it 😊 so actually the entrance requirements aren't the same - the MSc wants you to have a BSc-equivalent (a three year degree in the UK), whereas to get onto the DPhil you need an MSci/Phys-equivalent (in the UK that's either a three year degree + a one year MSc OR a 4 year degree, so in either case an extra year of study) - hope makes sense x
rough guide to international degree equivalency to a UK 3 year BSc degree (ie. the entrance requirements for the MSc) here: www.grb.uk.com/recruiter-research/international-degree-equivalents
Did you get the student fee loan from government for your masters at Oxford? Because when doing integrated masters it's the same student fees as undergrad.
Hi Alice
I hope to apply to Cambridge next year to do a masters.
I know you mentioned your course was 9 months. Mine says 11 months, so I was wondering how the course is structured in terms of Semesters... if that makes sense?
Is there 2 Semesters like undergrad or is it more or less 11 months straight?
Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks,
James
Did you get a conditional offer, if yes how much was it
I have also got PhD offer for both cambridge and oxford for engineering science in Oct 2020. I prefer to join cambridge due to my research interest but it also depend upon the scholarship which i am waiting for now.
I think what you are talking about at the start of the video is best described as survivorship bias
Thank you so much for your insight and advice! It's been so useful for me and I'll defo take everything you said into account when I apply for 2021 postgrad entry:) This might be a hard question to answer, but as someone that went to a state school and would prefer a more balanced environment socio-economically, are there any colleges at Ox/Camb which have a reputation of being quite mixed and not just independent school leavers? Many thanks in advance!:)
Great video😁
I want to study physics in your opinion now which do think is better for physics oxford or cambridge
Many Thanks
I find it so daunting to apply for Applied Mathematics in Cambridge after a Physics BSc because the pre-requisites in Math are endless. How did you feel while applying?
Hello Alice! I’m not sure if you will read this- I am thinking of applying for the exact same masters as you this year (I just finished second year doing maths at warwick). I am quite stressed because I’m not sure if I’ll be good enough or smart enough for it :( do you think I would need at least 90% average for my end of year 2 results to even be considered? And I’m wondering if you’re knew the acceptance rate? Ps I really love your videos :))) xx
Do a video on uni tips for all 3 degree years love your chanel
thank you so much meg! 😁 and thank you for the video suggestion - that's a good idea, will add to my list! x
U r lovely feel like we r friends just from your videos
Hey,
I am currently in the process of applying for the MSc in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics at Oxford. Im still struggling with my motivational letter at the moment.
Hey Alice, I’m applying for Applied Math at Cambridge & Mathematical Sciences at Oxford. Could you please give me some tips on what are the primary factors that boosts my application & increases my chances of acceptance - the college GPA, SOP or LORs? What affects the most. And is there any interview for Applied math in Cambridge ?
Hi Alice, thank you for your video :) I’m currently in my undergraduate degree, studying international affairs, and I would like to apply for the MPhil in International relations at Oxford. Although the field is pretty much the same I’m In right now, do you think the choice of the specific modules I take is as important as it is in scientific subjects like Physics?
Also: I am planning to spend an exchange semester abroad: do you think the choice of the uni I’ll go to will influence the admission process? Thank you very much in advance :)
Hey Alice! I loved this video (I mean, I always love your videos) and I laughed out loud at 0:21 when you did the typical “Did I fail??” face 😂
I just wanted to ask you something if it’s not a problem? So, I’m starting Physics at Lancaster this October (I already have my place, I’ve just had a year off), and I just wanted to ask you if you have any tips for basically keeping up with work at Uni?
I do work very hard, though even at A Level, although I came out with grades I was happy with, I did struggle to keep up with what we were learning in class, as it takes me a LOT longer to read and process things than all of the other people in my class. Hence I basically worked “too hard” which I really don’t want to do at Uni.
As much as I am really really excited to be starting I am a little nervous that I may not be able to keep up with lecture notes etc (like when you said in one of your videos you didn’t manage to keep up with them), so I’m just wondering if you have found any ways to be really efficient with what you’re learning?
Also, because of this worry about not keeping up that I’m having, I’m struggling to decide which degree scheme I would like to do. Basically, I would like to do theoretical as I love looking at the more mathematical side of things, but because there is a lot less coursework involved and (I assume?) more content to learn than in say the experimental degree scheme, I feel that it could get quite stressful around exam period.
I’m having a bit of a dilemma between them. Did you get the impression that theoretical was harder than experimental and did you find exam season really difficult?
Sorry this is a really long comment (more like a letter!) and don’t worry if you don’t worry if you can’t answer, I’ve just always found your advice so helpful and I’m just wondering if you learned any of these things through your experience.
Thanks a lot! I’m really looking forward to your future videos! :)xx
Hey Lawrence! 😁 First off just wanted to say sorry for how long it's taken me to get up-to-date with answering comments - I hope you've not been worrying about things too much 😢 Ahahah thank you, I'm really glad you found that funny, wasn't sure if it was too cringey 😅 Congrats on getting into Lancaster!!
So with the workload, completely honestly I felt exactly the same as you at sixth form and was worried about university for the same reason (which I think is quite common, definitely not just us!). The pace is definitely quick but I promise you will be able to keep up with it, and remember Lancaster has shorter terms than the majority of unis (10 weeks) and longer holidays (4 weeks), so there's a break after each term to revise which is when I've always found things actually go in. The best way I've found to keep with stuff at Lancaster is just to properly try with all the worksheets, as by doing the worksheets as best you can you look through all the slides anyway, so even if you haven't made notes on a particular section you often remember a lot of it when it comes to revision anyway - hope that makes sense?
Degree-scheme-wise, you'll get an Academic Advisor assigned to you (a lecturer who kind of looks after you and you go to for advice) when you start and they should help chat with you about the different degree schemes etc, but honestly it's not something you need to have sorted out for a while (I came in on a different degree scheme to the one I eventually picked!) 😁 First year and the first term of second year is the same for everyone, so you only need to decide before Christmas of second year, and they'll put on loads of talks and stuff to help you choose between them at the end of first year / start of second year too 😊 But personally I would always advocate going for the degree scheme you find most interesting, as in the long run that will work out easier anyway rather than forcing yourself through something just because it has fewer exams or whatever - so honestly to me it sounds like you're making the right choice with Theoretical 😁
Don't worry, I love talking to people who are about to come to Lancaster!! Hope packing and everything is going well for you, and that you're looking forward to fresher's week 😁 xx
Thanks so much Alice! This has definitely made me feel a lot better, and I’m super excited to start! (Obvs a bit nervous too 😖)
Hey Alice. It's refreshing to see that your title didn't start with 'How to get in... ' 😂. Good content as usual. I know this is kind of far ahead, but would you like to be a professor, or would you prefer to eventually go into industry?
By the way, did you colour coordinate your pillows and top on purpose? 😂
hey joel, thank you - nice to know it's not just me that gets annoyed by those 😂 so, I'm not entirely sure! I'm fairly certain I'd like to go into research of some form and directly use the physics I've learnt, which is why I applied for these master's, but I don't know if I'd rather work in industry (I think this is what I'm leaning towards) or in a uni - sorry, I know that's not helpful! ahaha no, I didn't intentionally colour coordinate (but I feel like this top could coordinate with a lot of things! 😂) x
@@alicedoesphysics Thanks for replying. It's still helpful to get an idea of the thought process of deciding. I'm sure you would do well in either industry or academia!
do you have any advice on who to use as your referees
Thank you so much for sharing
This is very helpful.
I have a question
I’m currently studying medical laboratory science and my graduation year is 2021,
Pls how do I get scholarship for master degree in molecular biology and genetics ??
Hello Alice!
I'm Giusy, an Italian student with the dream of going to study in Cambridge. I am currently finishing the exams of Psychology's bachelor at LUMSA (An private university in Rome) and I would really like to join Cambridge to study the Master in Neurosciences.
Before my application on UCAS, I'm writing to enquire about if my preparation as an International student would be sufficient for a conditional offer of admission (because I'm still studying so I'm not finished yet: my International qualification for now is about 107/110 Laurea but it will increase once I will graduate. But I don't know and I'm not sure if I could be considered like a candidate student to the entry requirements for Cambridge ). My English requirement is CAE, score B.
I look forward to hearing from you some answers or good advices. Thank you very much! :)
Same here
I really wanna get admission in combridge university but I’m not yet graduated, now I don’t know what to do 🤦🏽♂️
I hope you will be safe and sound.
I have a question, form which college in oxford astrophysics has been done?
How would you describe the difference between the MAst applied mathematics, pure mathematics and mathematical statistics at Cambridge?
I actually applied this year (but in maths) and I wondered when and how (mail ?) you heard back from them. I’m an international student so the application process made no sense for me, I applied just in time for the deadline and I’m really scared ^^’
hey! sorry for the slow reply ☹️ both were emails, and I heard from oxford back mid-march I want to say? it was definitely later than this that I heard back from oxford (as this time last year I was on a conference and I know I hadn't heard yet), but a bit earlier for cambridge - but I wouldn't worry, since all degrees hear back at different times, and no news is definitely good news 😊 x
alicedoesphysics I actually heard back from Oxford a few days ago, it was a no. But I’m still hoping for Cambridge, it was my favorite course...
alicedoesphysics I JUST GOT MY CONDITIONAL OFFER FROM CAMBRIDGE jslskshdkzlaksjf WAHOU
Hi,
I wanted to ask what your offer was for your postgraduate and what grade did you end up graduating with? I have received an offer to study MPhil in Economics at Cambridge but the offer was pretty steep. They’re asking for 85% (not sure if it’s for each module or just the whole of 3rd year, it wasn’t too clear).
In all honesty, I’m not sure I can meet their offer and I am worried that they are not lenient. Any advice or tips would be great!
Thanks.
Hello ma'am......
Does 10th and 12th marks matter for post graduation from oxford university??
恭喜恭喜，加油👍
Madame
I would like to be sure if I will be eligible to accept in one of Master's programmes which are related to archaeology,
KnowIng that I am lebanese, 27 years, studied in Syria where I live, and I graduated from archaeology 3 years ago with 84.14 average, as a first student in my semster.
I have a big desire to be one of your superior students in coming scholarship.
However, I have another question about the IELTS certificate which I couldn't get it because it costs too high fee,
In addition to the war conditions, which made many things difficult,
So, would it be acceptable to send just another certificate placement test issued from my local area indicates that I am at level c1?
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
>You apply to the department, not the college
Hi Alice! Thanks so much for the video. I have a question. I also wish to do Masters in Cambridge and Oxford in the field of Applied Mathematics and theoretical physics. I am doing my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. So, with my degree do you think I can get admission in Cambridge and Oxford?
thank you, glad it was helpful! 😊 I think it's worth emailing the admissions department to get their opinion - I suspect it will depend on the modules you've taken x
@@alicedoesphysics Thank you so much for your reply. I will immediately start writing email to the admission department.
What about the reference letter when applying for oxford?
do you know if Cambridge MASt or Oxford Maths program are rolling
when do you start applying?
Hi Alice. I have to pay for applications?
Does your ages counts in the selection of the masters? I mean by health issues I drop enginering at 23, but I begin a math degre at 29 and I will obtain my Bachelor on maths at 33, but I studied by myself the topics I Interested. Thankyou very much.
Can you tell me how to get admission in Cambridge university for Undergraduate course
Hey Alice,
I've been interested in this course called MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing, now all I want to know is how many years of prior education is required for this course?
For ex, many universities in the US require 16 years of prior education for masters but I was wondering if it was the same for UK universities as my bachelor's course is just a 3 years course, which means that I would have only 15 years of prior education whilst applying for the course. Is that going to be enough? Also I would be an international student, so if you could clear this up for me it would be of great help.
Cheers!
Dev Rao to do a masters at oxford you need a high grade in a relevant bachelors degree
I'm from Pakistan...I'm during my BS in Zoology in 2nd year and uptill now my CGPA is 3.92...Is CGPA matters???If so then what should be my goal in order to have an admission in Cambridge for my postgraduate digree like Masters in Philosophy???plz reply...
I would like to know whether ur degree for ug was for 3 years or 4?
I am from India. Can you please tell me how to get registered for PhD in Cambridge in Linguistics.
Can I apply for MSc food safety and technology in uni of cambridge after doing MSc food safety, hygiene and management in uni of birmingham???
@alicedoesphysics; If you would have obtained the MPhys, applying directly to PhD's would be easier?
nope, the MPhys and the BSc+MSc are worth exactly the same 😊 x
Hi! I'm an international student and will be applying next year to a 1 year master's (statistics/math) course. I just wanted to know if Oxbridge has a "need aware/ need blind" approach like American universities? Basically would it lower my chances of getting in if I apply for financial aid?
err I don't really know what "need aware" means, sorry! 😅 but (sorry if this isn't what you're actually asking!) UK universities don't have any idea at all about your financial situation until they've decided whether or not to give you an offer (once you have an offer, you then have to prove that you can afford to take it up before they let you start, through whatever combination of scholarships / savings / sponsorships / loans) - and applying for scholarships (I'm pretty sure we don't have "financial aid" like in the US, unless this just means scholarships?) is treated entirely separately i.e. won't have any effect on how likely you are or not to get an offer x
@@alicedoesphysics Thank you so much!! That's exactly what I was asking (didn't realise the terminology is different in the US and UK). This was super helpful. :')
you're v welcome!! glad it made sense, was very worried it wouldn't 😅 x
Can you please help me to apply in oxbridge for masters in physics
Can you apply for a student loan like you would for an undergraduate course?
it's not quite the same, but yes you can 😊 www.gov.uk/masters-loan
@@alicedoesphysics Thank you for the prompt response. Congratulations by the way!
sorry for the less prompt reply... 😅 thank you, and no worries! ❤️
Great Alice....Hope u succeed....💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💙💚❤💚💚❤💚💚❤💚❤💙😗
thank you so much! 💖
Would oxbridge accept a first class degree from a lower ranked uni such as
Manchester met.
chat about this at the end of the video, but ranking doesn't matter - course content does 😊
I thought applying simoultanously to Oxford and Cambridge was impossible? Is this a legend or is it really possible?
you can apply wherever you want / however many times you want for postgrad
Hi, Alice you are one of my idol. Just want to say respect you:D
thank you so much!! that's really lovely of you! 💖
Can I personally contact (means in mail id) to you about study in abroad for PhD??
Please suggest us requirements of Cambridge for master in zoology
You can find that in the department's website. There's the overview, study, requirements, and likes. Just head over to the website.
(thanks adaora 😊)
Hey Alice, what are the grade requirements for international students in these universities?? I'm from India and currently pursuing undergrads in physics.. Also could you share your email please... I'm interested in correspondence about your course structure and stuff.. Helpful video by the way 😊
Something that struck me as odd was the date on your offer letter from Oxford. Perhaps it was different last year but the deadline for your course is currently January 24, and the same goes for many similar courses I've looked at. March 18 just seems quite late to hear back from them. What was the deadline for you? When did you submit your application?
yes the deadline for the MSc was in January (I honestly don't remember the exact date), but both Oxford for the MSc and Cambridge for the MASt don't give out offers until March 🤷♀️ my Oxford offer was in the first batch of offers
