The deadline for Oxford and Cambridge is in <strong>October <\/strong>of the year before the start of the course. Prospective students can only apply to Oxford <strong><em>or<\/em><\/strong> to Cambridge, but not to both.<\/p>\n<p>Oxford University is very selective and is one of the few British Universities that invites prospective students for a personal interview before making offers.<br \/>\nApproximately one third of interviewees receive offers, and offers are almost always conditional on marks achieved in the final year examinations.<br \/>\nA typical conditional offer to the University of Oxford requires A*A*A for students following the UK curriculum. Students sitting Luxembourg final exams should aim to have all marks higher than 50, with marks higher than 55 in the most relevant subjects. A typical conditional offer for students doing the International Baccalaureate is a total of 39 points with &#8216;766&#8217;, with a 7 in the chosen subject.<\/p>\n<p>Your best source of information on courses and the application procedure can be found on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ox.ac.uk\/admissions\/undergraduate\">Oxford University website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Practice Interviews<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every year we offer applicants practice interviews before the real interviews that typically take place in December.
